When you forget remove stickers

That moment that moment you realize you forgot to remove a sticker off your your first Rolex. but in all honesty I was so hesitant the first day I even tried wear the fluted bezel cover for a day

Half of the enjoyment is finding a tiny sticker 6 months after you thought you found the last tiny sticker :)

Agree! They eventually start to fall off. Just happened to me on a small clasp sticker that was missed.

Every time the AD wants to remove my stickers I am like "step away from the watch". I get great pleasure on doing it myself.

+1

I buy new and I keep the stickers on. When they fall off, I consider the watch worn out and thrash it. Hello again AD

I almost always forget a sticker when I'm removing them for a customer. I've had customers email me days and weeks later jokingly giving me a hard time about it. Seems that more and more stickers are being added all the time.

I could totally relate to this. I thought I dented the clasp because the shape was off. I was totally relieved to find that it was only a sticker I haven't removed

Wore my new 116613LB for the first time on Saturday.
I spent about 20m picking all the stickers off before the wedding.
Every time i "thought" i had them all, i found another lol.

Pretty sure i really did get them all, but then again I wont be surprised to find one.

Just look for fingerprints... Seems the second you take off the stickers, the bands show stuff like crazy. If its still clean, probably plastic lol.
