Green sticker

Easy question...does Rolex still have a green sticker on the back of the watch when buying new? Or has that vanished from the factory.

Green hologram? No... Now clear sticker with a green tab end to grab and peel, at least on any I've bought in past few years.

Look forward to the incoming

I've not seen a recent model with a green holgram sticker on the back. Not sure what year they were phased out but it was a while ago. Anything bought recently is either NOS or someones added the sticker. My recollection is they were abandoned mid way through the last decade.

That sounds deceptive.

My GMT nor my Subc had a green sticker... The sub was a 2015, the GMT was a 2018 model.

Green hologram case stickers were phased out in 2005 or 2006 if memory serves. It's been a long time.

Since then, new watches come with clear stickers on the back.

If the new watch I'm getting had the same kind of sticker...I would be adding another sticker ( with new watch attached of course).
