Was that recently? It’s been hidden along time

Not really an option anymore, also seeing old stickers all curled up with dirt and god knows what under them is cringeworthy

Scratches on a watch is a life well lived. Also Rolex will give you back your watch in mint condition if that's what you'd like at service time.

I still enjoy the watch, in fact I enjoy all my watches. People appreciate all different types of items in their own way. I have a small collection of cars, some of which I rarely drive, but still enjoy looking at them. I’ll pull some of them out for a wash and wax from time to time, to me, it’s like art, you don’t necessarily wear or take art out for a drive!

I found a sticker in the clasp of my BLNR about five years after I bought it.

I was flabbergasted.

Peeling the stickers is part of the fun. Tiny sticker, easy to miss.

My sales rep is a total pro! Didn't miss ANY plastics, even down to the small areas on the clasp

I watched my AD remove the stickers from my Oysterflex Daytona. Was amazed at the number of minute protective stickers he removed so am not surprised your AD missed one sticker.
My thoughts go to the poor sod who has to apply them in the Rolex factory.

Watched my AD peel the stickers off my 114060. Found another one a couple of weeks later while cleaning it.

I’ve only worn this particular watch, maybe half dozen times, but thought I would have noticed this earlier.
CAN I GET A C’MON MAN!!!

That poor Rolex. Wear that bad boy!!! Why spend all that money to hide it in a safe?
In 2 years your only great memory was finding a sticker on it..... damn.
