Caseback Stickers?
Does Rolex still put the Green caseback stickers on new production pieces, and if not when did they stop this practice?

It’s not the full green like years past. It’s clear with a green edge to pull off.

Just a clear sticker now. Green one was probably gone 10 years ago.

Correct me if I am wrong but didn’t green stickers stop with 6 digit models?

Back in the day they were typically left on the watch, but ADs started taking them off somewhere around 2004-ish. They would come on the watch, but they would peal them off. But they went to some new kind of sticker a few years later. |

Clear stickers now, all should be removed asap though as they are a bacteria magnet.

Yeah it was somewhere around the 2008 timeframe that they quit applying the Green and gold hologram type stickers. The current ones are made up of a totally different consistency as well. Those green ones were thicker and very rubbery...with a whole lot of goopy, stretchy type glue!
