Caseback Sticker Question - Six Digit
Hi Everyone,
I completely understand this may not matter to most, but just curious if anyone has come across this in the past. Have you ever seen the green “lip” for the clear caseback stickers partially on the caseback and partially hanging off. I’m looking at a 116520 that has some stickers on it and some removed. Normally I’d expect to see the green lip right up against the edge, but this one appears to be hanging off the side, yet it doesn’t appear it was ever removed. This is from an incredibly reputable seller who has done thousands of transactions, so the watch is legit. I was told it’s the original sticker as well. I did find a pic of a different watch (third pic) where it appears to have a similar situation happening. Thanks! |

I bought a two year old Sky Dweller with its original stickers in place, but some of the stickers had slid around a bit. It looked like the adhesive has gone a bit soft. The stickers did not appear to have been removed and reapplied. Not something I've seen before but once off, all was well.

Back in the day when we were allowed to de-sticker, I remember seeing caseback stockers that were misaligned, just like bezels |

Have to agree but it's still a bit of useless plastic fit for one thing put in the waste bin.

Buy the stickers, not the watch. They tell the whole story.

Hi guys - really appreciate the input. I knew that some would think I'm a bit crazy, maybe I am, but when looking to purchase a watch, I'd rather ask those on TRF prior to purchase rather than after the purchase and people say "you should have asked before buying". Although I completely trust the seller, link below, I wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this. I'm always very cautious buying things online and would rather get input from people with a lot more experience than me, that is all. :) Seller indicated that the watch is 100% authentic which is all I care about. But for some reason when I see anything out of place, yes, even a sticker I start asking questions.
