Take them off!

Keeping them on is like having those clear vinyl slipcovers on a couch...my grandmother had those and while the couch looked "new" forever, we could never really enjoy it since we were sitting on plastic (especially horrible in the summer)!

But don't be surprised if you're still finding them 2–3 weeks later.

Take them off. Scratches are part of the deal. It is what it is. Enjoy your new Rolex.

Two months later I found one on my DSSD on the inside folding bar. This was after two weeks of diving with it on!

I had a roommate in college who kept the stickers on everything he owned. On his tv, fridge, lamps, all of his clothes, etc...
Can be quite a statement I guess. I just never figured out what it was.

They are not a cell phone screen protector. Take them off ASAP.

The watch isn't sacred, It's meant to be worn and enjoyed for many years.

Keep your stickers on as long as you can.

It annoys so many on the Forum.

I bought a 114060 a few weeks ago. It had some stickers still on it when I got it and I have removed a few of them.
I still have a few to go - the big sticker on the clasp is still there and the case side sticker with the ID.
Who cares, nobody is looking at my watches except me.

It also has the case back clear sticker in place but this is my anti-nickel poisioning protector.

Take them off... Dirt can get under them and cause worse damage than the occasional scuff...

There's consistency in that pic.

Keep the stickers if u want to sell. Otherwise, peel and serve
