Rolex Two Tone Oyster Bracelet Stickers

[jim887]

Hi, my first post...I have a 2022 Explorer 124273 purchased new from an AD. This watch has been warn twice (once at point of purchase and second around the house the day after). The question is are these bracelets shipped out to the AD with protective stickers on each of the links? Two of the upper...non screw links are discolored. I have never polished or buffed the watch, it's as from when I left the store so the discoloration seems to have happened on its own. There are some origional stickers still on the case and clasp. If Rolex does ship with the links protected then these are hopefully one missed by the AD. I just don't want to mess with removing them since the gold will scratch if I screw up. I have looked for a sticker edge but can't detect one (no loop just naked visual). Prior experience with situations like this is that the AD has been known to scratch ... happened 10yrs ago when I brought a watch in with a case scratch...they basically destroyed it with "over-kill". Just wanted to ask here before I go to the next level. Thanks in advance....(long winded rt).
