How soon do u remove re stickers? Me, I wait till it starts to peel then I remove that part.

jamesbondOO7 · 12 July 2014, 04:55 PM

The AD does it for me.

GB-man · 12 July 2014, 04:56 PM

Immediately. It's part of the unboxing ritual for me .

T. Ferguson · 12 July 2014, 04:59 PM

As soon as I get the watch. I bought it to wear, and I'm certainly not going to wear it with the stickers on it. In fact, I usually look it over a couple oif extra times just to make sure I got them all. I also take the cardboard out of the collars of new shirts and the window sticker off a new car.

Good god man all stickers should be removed when you start to wear your watch.Because any sticker left on is just a breeding ground for bacteria and other things from sweat etc when wearing.

asmfa5 · 12 July 2014, 05:02 PM

Leaving stickers on and wearing the watch is like sitting on a sofa with plastic covers

viper9669 · 12 July 2014, 05:04 PM

Immediately, or as soon as possible.

Laszlo · 12 July 2014, 05:06 PM

I take them off I stages and it depends on the ref. If I have a piece with PLCs I keep those on for at least a week. If I have SS they all come off immediately except for the case back.

Andad · 12 July 2014, 05:55 PM

I'd rather go to the dentist than pick the stickers off.

Or leaving the protection sticker on your new cellphone

M4rkg4rd3n · 12 July 2014, 06:12 PM

just did it today 12 days after receiving the watch.

Old Expat Beast · 12 July 2014, 06:24 PM

Same day. By then they have served their purpose.

Sounds about right.

Rogdogg · 12 July 2014, 06:49 PM

I take them off as soon as I get home. I take every one of them off at this point.

well i must be weird, because i only remove the part that starts to peel, then just leave others and wait for its edges to show...usually a few days after wearing it continuosly. what is the bar code/sticker code on the side sticker?

HogwldFLTR · 12 July 2014, 07:00 PM

ASAP they are removed if a watch has them. Really whats the point of wearing a watch with stickers on it? (OK, maybe if a grand child stuck on of their on it.)

Same here. I leave them on until they start to peel..that bar code is for rolex internally, when they spit them out of the production line.

DiamondJack · 12 July 2014, 07:27 PM

As soon as I'm sure it's a keeper.....so usually the same day I take delivery.

Although on my very first stickered watch, I was still finding the odd sticker on the clasp etc months later.......

lodewijk · 12 July 2014, 07:37 PM

Immediately at the AD. Although there was a little piece of plastic left on the clasp which I removed once I saw it..(a couple days later)

kudosguy · 12 July 2014, 07:52 PM

As soon as I got it home

Furbo · 12 July 2014, 08:04 PM

That's ADs job, not mine.

travisb · 12 July 2014, 08:08 PM

I feel like it's not really "my" watch until they're off. So, the sooner the better.

SALTY · 12 July 2014, 08:58 PM

Are guys inferring that the stickers should come off?

Seriously, ASAP; it's mine now.

Rolexpharm · 12 July 2014, 09:02 PM

My AD does it for me as well but a couple of times when I clean the watch I find a new sticker. They put those stickers in every nook and cranny

Tseg · 12 July 2014, 09:02 PM

Get the AD to do it as he is sizing it so I can wear it out of the store.

cop414 · 12 July 2014, 09:03 PM

After a few pics off they come!

AndyK · 12 July 2014, 11:04 PM

I've only owned one BNIB Rolex and I tried taking the stickers off right away. But it felt like I kept finding a few unpeeled ones here and there for months!

I also bought a nearly 4 year old pre-owned LNIB Sub from Oscar and after wearing it for a few weeks I found a couple of stickers.

this actually made me spit up my morning coffee

GTC · 12 July 2014, 11:13 PM

Only days later after noticing the numbers on the Explorer II's bezel seemed a tiny bit cloudy did I realize there was a protective film/sticker over it. Peeled it off immediately. I guess that's the only one.

clu · 12 July 2014, 11:30 PM

ASAP really, did take some pictures with stickers on, but that's about it. Will make sure all stickers off before wearing it.
