Those damn stickers...

...but sometimes they're a good thing. E.g. when you get hold of a M-series NOS 16618, open the box - peel of them stickers - adjust the bracelet - and just start to enjoy your new purchase.

Two images from the unboxing.

Stickers now removed.

You have to adjust you white balance, it looks yellow.

Congrats my friend.

That's beautiful! Are you going to wear that sweater and shirt every day? Or do you have other "outfits" for this watch?
