I personally would not wear a watch with a bunch of stickers on it. I take them off.

jdmi32 · 1 October 2016, 01:58 AM

I was so proud of my wife when she got her first Rolex and promptly started to remove the stickers once I had sized it for her. She dismissed my comment that she would likely miss a few and sure enough she forgot one sticker on the clasp.

I would never wear a watch with any stickers on it. Enjoy it!

T. Ferguson · 1 October 2016, 02:33 AM

It's not really my watch until the stickers are off. Never understood leaving the case back sticker on either. The bracelet doesn't even touch the case back when you're wearing the watch. And when you take it off with even just a little bit of care the clasp isn't going to scratch it. So unless it starts dancing around by itself in the drawer nothing is going to get scratched. And even if it does, who ever sees the case back?

leave the stickers on... OMG:)In my opinion, if you really want to babysit smtg, you can always have a new baby lol.

Lordofrolex · 1 October 2016, 03:24 AM

Personally i take off all the stickers right away. Personally think its weird to keep the stickers on and wear the watch.

GB-man · 1 October 2016, 03:57 AM

If bought at AD I wear it out with stickers then remove them as soon as I get home. If fedex then I remove them after trying it on for roughly 5 mins. Either way stickers come off same day.

brucethemanlee · 1 October 2016, 04:08 AM

if i were to leave stickers on it would be for the sole intent to keep in the box for re-sale sometime in the future. I would never wear WITH stickers.

WAK4 · 1 October 2016, 05:30 AM

Only on drive home. Then I enjoy peeling them all

Chiboy · 1 October 2016, 05:39 AM

I used to keep the plastic stickers on my watches, but they kept catching on the plastic slipcover on my sofa.

mps354 · 1 October 2016, 05:41 AM

definitely take them off. i actually didn't think this was a serious question at first

Yep and that was my thought also...

KrismanX · 1 October 2016, 06:01 AM

To me not peeling the stickers off of my watch is like never unpeeling the stickers from your New Era hat, or leaving the tags on your Ed Hardy t-shirt.

It's tacky. I does not compute.

If you are really concerned about watch safety one could always just leave it in the safe until you sell it, or keep it in the shipping coffin and tape that to your wrist. Conceptually, saran wrist wrapping is trending within that community too, or so I can assume.

sutats · 1 October 2016, 06:06 AM

Just the caseback sticker.

watchwatcher · 1 October 2016, 06:21 AM

No way.

sickened1 · 1 October 2016, 06:26 AM

I take them all off as soon as I get the watch.

The Libertine · 1 October 2016, 06:40 AM

Nope; set it, wear it and enjoy it.

thesharkfactor · 1 October 2016, 07:00 AM

This is crazy. It's a watch, wear it and use it to tell the time. It's not for worshipping, it's a watch.

I agree, it's crazy that this is even a question.

KBM · 1 October 2016, 07:13 AM

I usually size the bracelet and then remove the stickers before wearing for the first time. Peeling those is like a ritual of making the watch your own.

Just today I finished removing the last stickers from this guy:

Thank you, my friend!

Eric Chan · 1 October 2016, 07:17 AM

Off. Every single one of them. My AD offers to take them off, but I tell him to leave it so I can do it at home. I just get a weird sense of satisfaction by removing them myself.

Loevhagen · 1 October 2016, 07:37 AM

This thread makes me sad.

Brian Page · 1 October 2016, 07:38 AM

nope

Danny83 · 1 October 2016, 07:39 AM

I leave them on for about 5 days

HL65 · 1 October 2016, 07:49 AM

No

Olienh · 1 October 2016, 09:11 AM

I added black duck tape around the clasp to ensure I don't get any micro scratches from wear and tear!

srtown · 1 October 2016, 09:28 AM

So many stickers come on watches now it can be hard to get them all off. I wear an Oris Pointer Moon as my every day and after a year I noticed there was still a sticker on the clasp I hadn't removed. I was in a watch store at the time I noticed it and felt kind of stupid (not too much, lol).

aekdb · 1 October 2016, 09:29 AM

All come off
