I just received the 2nd of 2 Rolex's I purchased last week then I immediately took of the stickers and sized the bracelets to wear.
That got me thinking how many here wear their watches with stickers still in place. If so how long and why?

reloxt · 14 February 2017, 04:52 AM

Never did, but just bought a NOS 16570 Expl II. Left the stickers on the case so far. Removed from bracelet and sized it.

Gerardus · 14 February 2017, 04:53 AM

Never.

Pics TED .......or it did not happen ;)

Isn't wearing with stickers a recipe for disease? Bacteria accumulates under there due to moisture.

Annan · 14 February 2017, 04:54 AM

Not me! I tear them off right away. It's sort of a game to see if I can find them all. Like many on TRF who have commented on this issue, I've find an overlooked one days/weeks/months later.

never makes no sense

minute_man · 14 February 2017, 04:54 AM

Never intentionally

RichM · 14 February 2017, 04:54 AM

I voted sometimes. The reason is that in 2004 I bought an OP and the case back sticker was still it until 2012 when Rolex removed it during a service.

Now, every watch I get, I remove all stickers.

Etschell · 14 February 2017, 04:56 AM

wow that is tacky....

Good point!

Same here, and as others have noted, pretty common for me to find one a good bit later.

Do admit I may have left the clasp sticker on a Daytona or two to keep the desk diving marks to a minimum...

Yurigs · 14 February 2017, 05:25 AM

i ripped those suckers off while in the car let along before I got home

droptopman · 14 February 2017, 05:28 AM

Never, but every once in a while I find one I missed....

the_natural · 14 February 2017, 05:31 AM

Jamais!

JMK01 · 14 February 2017, 05:49 AM

Never intentionally, I found a few about a week later.

Jocke · 14 February 2017, 05:51 AM

I don't know but here is a few guys that use a stick.

Pulled mine all off. I almost left the stickers on the buckle of my TT sub but pulled them all off anyway.

they should make DLC stickers

brucethemanlee · 14 February 2017, 09:41 AM

I walk out de-stickered
And wear it right away

Stickers + wearing = gross

I think if you are a member of TRF and still wore your Rolex with stickers, you'll get banned!

Eric Chan · 14 February 2017, 09:48 AM

Nope. It's weird. Kind of like leaving the screen sticker on your phone.

xlarge · 14 February 2017, 09:50 AM

I cannot bring myself to taking the case back and crown guard stickers off.
I cannot explain it...

HL65 · 14 February 2017, 09:50 AM

Never only first day between picking up and getting home to peel em off!

theken · 14 February 2017, 09:53 AM

My primary AD told me today that Rolex USA is now insisting that all the stickers must be removed when the watch is delivered to the customer.

DramaTurtle · 14 February 2017, 09:55 AM

I never intended to but I found a tiny little one somewhere along the clasp well into my ownership and have left it there ever since. Still there.

DeeTee · 14 February 2017, 09:59 AM

Some people do.
It looks like your about to return it any minute.
