On the Rolex's that you wear (not safe queens), do you remove the sticker that is on the back of the case?

SPACE-DWELLER · 7 June 2008, 09:25 AM

I'll stick to removing the sticker, thank you.

East Bay Rider · 7 June 2008, 09:27 AM

I left mine on until it got worn and when I finally peeled it off it lost a lot of the hologram. I kept what was left of it but I wish I'd have known - I'd have removed it sooner and kept it nicer.

Mine is an "M" series so it didn't come with a hologram sticker. No real desire to keep a clear sticker on.

frostie · 7 June 2008, 09:36 AM

Never had a sticker

GoldenBear · 7 June 2008, 09:38 AM

"Safe Queen"...that is a perfect description of so many people here. LOL.

veilstylez · 7 June 2008, 10:35 AM

the sticker to me keeps the caseback from scratching

RW16610 · 7 June 2008, 10:40 AM

Either way is ok I guess but for me any sort of stickers etc come off. Not to mention i'm an accesories freak, love any little keepsakes to go along with my watches and having a nice, new holigram sticker later down to me is great.

BiG JeEzY · 7 June 2008, 10:42 AM

Yea I would get rid of the sticker. I got rid of the one on my Explorer II. Its hardly worth anything if not at all in terms of resale.

Wearing it with the sticker on actually traps the moisture from your wrist to the underside of the watch. Over time, that would cause the sticker to fade and discolor and may even harm the finish to the caseback.

I voted "Just want to see the results"
since i have no sticker to remove......

I picked up the term Safe Queen from my shooting friends. We often buy a new firearm, only to put it in the safe and never seem to use it.

c70convertible · 7 June 2008, 01:22 PM

Always keep the sticker on your Rolex. I voted Keep Sticker.

scottschoe · 7 June 2008, 01:25 PM

I keep them on until they look like they're about ready to slide off.

sombunya · 7 June 2008, 03:19 PM

Sticker on. If the back corrodes, RSC can take care of it.

How do case backs get scratched?

shoppy · 7 June 2008, 05:09 PM

Remove mine try to preserve it, but usually in the past has ended up being a mess, so binned it.

How will it scratch if it's on your wrist?

Anyway, i didn't realise there was one till someone mentioned it on here.

I took it off as it was looking a bit snotty. Not really worried about the hologram.

I'm usually a stickler for details in sticky situations such as this and feel as if I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, but if you must know the truth, if my watch does come with a sticker I usually end up sticking it on a clear piece of plastic which I then stick in the safe for safe keeping.

Okay, that does it!

Someone please make this a STICKY!

Jazz · 7 June 2008, 09:54 PM

The hologram sticker, IMHO, means absolutely nothing nowadays, as new Rolexes come with clear stickers.

Dump them, both hologram or clear!!

Land Dweller · 7 June 2008, 09:55 PM

Talking of stick on things, i wonder if anyone on list is eccentric enough to keep there bezel protector in place when wearing there watch?
