Alright people...how many people are still wearing their watches with the protective stickers on them? I know some with the red tabs have to come off, but most are not noticeable and provide some good protection.

Guilty

ParisDakarBmw · 25 March 2010, 12:18 PM

I peel them............But I keep them in a little jewelry bag......

hhh007 · 25 March 2010, 12:24 PM

The stickers are not enough, I just carry around the watch in it's box.

Tools · 25 March 2010, 01:35 PM

I take them all off......

But I put them back on at night................... you know....just in case.......

Faide · 25 March 2010, 01:35 PM

Haha, i had no choice in the matter for my GMT II . THe dealer was "kind enough" to remove all the stickers for me.

The pics they sent me of the watch had all the stickers on. I asked why they did that and with a puzzled voice the lady said "Well sir, i didn't think you was going to wear it with the stickers on so i peeled them off for you."

I still have the caseback clear sticker on....I wear the watch 24/7 (daily showers and pool activity included) and no signs of it wearing/peeling off what so ever. If it ain't broke - dun fix it

patek5107 · 25 March 2010, 01:42 PM

The stickers will cause more damage than good....

The stickers will trap moisture in and lead to rust/corrosion.

I would advice you to remove these at once.

karmatp · 25 March 2010, 01:44 PM

I want to feel the cool metal against my wrist, not plastic. When Rolex used the hologran on the caseback, people would leave them on and some of them had pitting of the steel when they finally were finally removed. They are just a trap for moisture, I take them off right away.

JMIND · 25 March 2010, 02:17 PM

Does wearing the plastic protective bezel count?

bodybump · 25 March 2010, 02:19 PM

i only take off the bezel protector...

Unpacking and pulling the stickers off is the best part!
