First of, I am not affiliated with Zagg or the seller of the said custom InvisiShield skins. Merchant of this scratch protection system uses the proven and well known Zagg brand used for mobile phones. These are cut to perfection with the quality of material used being self healing and premium. I do not know how it compares to the other eBay sellers with similar products but with inferior material used.

Secondly, I know these products do not get much love in the forums but I decided to install these on my brand new DJ having OCD and all. I know that I will eventually get scratches but having a little peace of mind for a $10k watch right out of the box works for me. Besides, they are virtually invisible and you will be the only one who knows that these are installed.

Installation was straight forward and very easy. If you have installed a glass or screen protector on your phone, it is pretty much the same procedure. It came with a Zagg installation bottle of fluid but I used my Oakley cleaning solution instead as I have used in the past. A blowdryer helped speed up the drying process as while wet, the small pieces do move around while wet. A few seconds under low heat, skin stayed put and this is when you smooth away the extra fluid and bubble underneath. Initial installation will show a little imperfection or bubbles, but will go away overnight.

The set I purchased came with extra pieces for each part protected. Set includes protection for the following:
Case sides
Full Clasp to include the sides

Pros

Easy Installation
Protection against unwanted scratches and swirl marks
Preserves the value of your timepiece
No more fingerprints when handling especially the highly polished areas
Virtually invisible, only noticeable when inspected up close
Precision cut and quality Zagg product that has been proven and tested

Cons

Premium price
Slight Orange Peel Effect but expected

Interesting. How does it work around the cyclops?

How is the sticker for the clasp installed? And is it really hard to get off?

Post a link if you can so we can check them out

Lol, sounds like a infomercial. Hard pass for me.

Hard to tell if it really in invisible from those photos as I can't zoom in very well. Do you have any clearer shots?

It's nice of you to preserve the watch for the next owner.

I popped on the Zagg website and couldnt located anything precut for specific Rolex models. Apple watches only.

Maybe the ebay folks are buying raw Zagg film and cutting it for various rolex models. Kinda like what the car paint protection installers do with 3M or Xpel film...the buy rolls of film and cut for a particular car.

RobsterCraw · 20 October 2019, 04:06 AM

I'd be the guinea pig and order, but I dont see one cut for the Sea Dweller. Anyone know if my SD will fit the ones cut for the Sub or DSSD, which they carry? Mainly looking for clasp protection.

rominvicta · 20 October 2019, 04:06 AM

That’s excessive! Or obsessive! Or both!

Seller's name is standingo. Be warned that these are not cheap but worth it IMO.

Like wrapping your child in plastic wrap. Meh

Although I did not purchase a set with these, I believe that there is a cutout for the Cyclops. I honestly think protection for the sapphire crystal is overkill.

Yep, definitely OP has some connection to seller.

WristCheckDaily · 20 October 2019, 04:14 AM

wristguardpro.com makes the same thing from PPF and fits better. No gap around the clasp logo or orange peel.

It comes with a solution spray, wet installation.

Easy to remove with fingernails as I made my own with scissors with leftover skins for my MacBook Pro. Not pretty making my own, so I decided to purchase these.

I believe so but I suggest getting the cheaper set without the crystal protection. Its up to you though but I mentioned above, sapphire protection is a bit too much and not really needed.

This.

This topic has certainly been beaten to a pulp.
To each their own but I can’t imagine this stuff on any of my watches.

These are much cheaper, I don't think I can shell that much out for pieces of rubbery plastic stickers :)

kieselguhr · 20 October 2019, 04:26 AM

Don’t forget the fluted bezel now. That’s a notorious spot for scratches. Also every individual link on the bracelet with emphasis on the EZ link as it is a high friction area.

I'm just prolonging the current state of my new DJ.. Probably won't install another set when they do eventually wear out or come off.

Funny guy, I'm just initially protecting the polished and prone areas at the minimum. To me, as long it is not noticeable to others and it does its job, everyone is happy :)

Actually, I cut a piece of scrap to install inside the clasp for the EZ link. I've seen others in the forum install felt sticker.
