5167r protective stickers

Hello, I know some don’t like to do it, and I have never done for any of my watches but for my recent 5267r purchase would love a recommendation for best sticker brand to use. Do they work and stay on watch?

Welcome suggestions thank you l!

Your thoughts are much appreciated. I’m sure you can afford many as well.
Have a pleasant holiday week.

I’ve used Styx on a WG watch. It was reasonably easy to apply and has stayed on the watch for about 2 years, although I am very easy on watches.

I got some for 5164r when I first got one about a year ago. I recommend not doing it and just wearing the watch. Wear and tear looks a lot better than a stickered watch. It looks ridiculous

Kind of like a bumper buddy on a nice car

Great watch
If it is just the clasp you want to protect, I would consider removing the rubber strap & clasp altogether and putting the watch on any other type of strap which would be an improvement over the bulky OEM clasp

While I'm against needing protective covers and leave all my scratches on my watches I don't think we should mention money.
There are some people with expensive cars that baby and cringe at a single hair line scratch. It's not because they can't afford it, but because they are ocd about it.

I have unintentionally done that with my 5167R because I didn’t realize a sticker was missed before they gave it to me. But it didn’t take long for the edges to start coming off and then I realized it was still there. To me it looked worse than scratches (which tended to be more evenly distributed) so I took it off.

So if you decide to try it, I guess it comes down to how well it sticks over time. If you try it and don’t like it, worst case is that you’re out a little money. But over time, you’ll typically pay less attention to the scratches and more attention to the dial and movement (in a good way).
