I have to tell you that I have heard of some who have tried re-using stickers on a used Rolex to make the buyer believe the watch is new...

Is this where your headed?

I have the above green sitcker as well, for my BLNR that I bought just a few days ago, my AD told me it was new from this month's shipment.

This thread is hilarious!

On a serious note, I can confirm what the poster above is saying. I just bought a 114060 and the case back sticker does have a touch of green.

I can't say I inspected it for bubbles, though haha.
