Horology Peer Pressure - The Peeling Stickers Edition!
I was going to make my 8,500 post on TRF an INCOMING thread, however, I am going to change it up a little bit...
My last three Rolex acquisitions have been my 326135 My 114060 And my 218235 With my latest three I have decided to keep the factory stickers on until they fell off naturally like an umbilical cord ... After receiving text messages from my brother mortgageguy (Adam) and bodybump (Oscar), PM's from some of you fine folks and getting weird looks from Mrs. FremStar I have decided to start peeling the stickers off my 218235 Inspired by my brother from another mother zedhomme I am working on the peeling video that I will post momentarily! Quote:
Video coming soon...

Sam, you should start a new thread: "Your Rolex and your SUV left side mirror".
By the way, I can't wait to see where this thread will take us! |

Gents! Since I have one shot to get the video right I am going to take my time to ensure that the production is tight! Video is surely coming soon! ;-)

I can't stand stickers of any kind on any product. I remove them as quickly as possible. A set of micro-fine tweezers works well once you have one edge lifted.
