Bar Code on Sub

I have a V series Sub, what is the bar code type symbol at the 9 o’clock position on the case?

Thanks,

it's on the sticker so after you remove the sticker it'll be gone.
most believe it's inventory use for Rolex

It is printed on a clear sticker protecting the side of the watch.

There is a small tab that is an extention of the sticker / protective film. Pull the tab and remove the entire sticker. Some people keep these stickers / film, others don't. You should actually have a lot of this protective film on the watch. There should be film on the other side of the case as well (2 pieces, but no "bar code") , and some on the bracelet and clasp.

By the way....congrats on the new watch!!!

You are right, I just noticed it with the loop it is a sticker that goes completely along the side of the case.

I apologize for the stupid question and wasting your time.

You can also use your nail to sratch off the bar code and let the sticker fall off by itself...I did that with my new GV and Daytona...

There are no stupid questions (although some members here will disagree sometimes ), welcome to the club!
