Red line/bar in classified pictures.

I was just browsing DSW’s site and have also noticed on the forum that many times sellers will post pictures of a watch with a red bar or red line on the case back or on the bracelet. Why is this done? I’m sure there is a good reason....

It's funny, after several month of ownership of my latest watch I just realized it still had the sticker on the back. I just removed it.

Sorry about the smudges visible in the photo. Just didn't wipe the watch down to take the picture. Pt seems to be pretty durable material!!! The Daytona steals all my wrist time.

I did the same thing on my Yachtmaster. Probably 3 months after purchase I was still picking bits of sticker out of the bracelet and clasp.

Yep, a couple of weeks earlier I found one inside the clasp. The red part of the case back sticker I pulled off a while ago without realizing I'd left the majority of the sticker still on the watch.

I have done that. They are hard to see in some spots. Usually, the one on the bracelet piece that sits against the bottom of the wrist gets me. I always forget about that one.
