It’s been 30 days since purchasing my last watch. I clean all my watches on a regular basis almost obsessively. With all the handling, inspecting, and cleaning, I’m surprised that I found two more stickers that I missed when I peeled them off the day I bought it.

It goes to show you how well Rolex protects their time pieces before they go for sale. Anyone else still peeling off their stickers days later? What’s the longest anyone has had their watch and still had stickers on it without purposely taking them off of course

Those darn stickers. I’m still finding them randomly every now and then

Same here...I think my oldest was well over a year

If you put your watch in a bowl of warm water they come off by themselves.

watchmework · 18 June 2018, 08:45 AM

Congrats on the CHNR, I’ve found some really small ones weeks later.

air_king · 18 June 2018, 08:49 AM

I love that watch. Very nice congrats

uniqueMR · 18 June 2018, 08:50 AM

Beautiful watch

I found a sticker on my LVc about 6 months after purchasing it and “thoroughly” inspecting it and removing stickers . LOL.

I pulled some stickers off my BLNR two days ago. The watch is about 4 months old.

Flybak · 18 June 2018, 09:30 AM

Fantastic watch...finding new stickers is like reliving the experience of a new incoming!

thesharkfactor · 18 June 2018, 09:32 AM

I found one on the clasp after a few months, then another sneaky one hidden inside the clasp about a year later!.. I am confident I have them all by now..

EDOT:.. amazing watch sir!

tommy91 · 18 June 2018, 09:41 AM

Love the watch, stickers also

Bladeshot · 18 June 2018, 09:43 AM

Ones inside the clasp get missed most often. I buy only preowned and you’d be surprised how many I find there. One a year or more, after someone else has worn it for many months.

Thank you for the nice comment. I really love this reference. I’m so fortunate to have purchased it

foolishbear · 18 June 2018, 11:46 AM

Yep. AD took off a bunch. I took off five or six random stickers over the next three months. Every time I found another one I thought, where did that come from?

Investr · 18 June 2018, 11:49 AM

That watch is F-I-N-E!!!!! Fine!!! Super handsome!!

AJM914 · 18 June 2018, 11:53 AM

DasKptl · 18 June 2018, 11:57 AM

Über-cool! What a beautiful watch!

jps3b · 18 June 2018, 02:01 PM

Thank you all for the nice comments. I tell my wife every time I put it on how beautiful this time piece is. I still can’t believe I own one. I went to the Basel 2018 preview back in April and when I held this watch in my hand I thought “this is the one” but I was in no position to buy another watch no less a PM piece. I really think Rolex hit it out of the park when they came up with this reference.

Here is a few more pics:

This was the day we bought it in Cabo San Lucas. We bought the wife a RG Santos from the same AD.

Here is all three of my PM pieces.

BEAUTIFUL GMT II and amazing collection !

Congratulations !!!

benlee · 18 June 2018, 03:17 PM

Looks fabulous in RG

fishingbear · 18 June 2018, 03:19 PM

Over the years I’ve always found little stickers months and months from after wearing my Rolex watches. I actually find them pesky but realize it is the exceptional way they protect them new. Congratulations on that beauty!

Wow, that's a kick ass trio! Love it
