Help

Hi, I'm new to the forum and wondered if someone could help me, I have a 2002 rolex sub 16610 on a k serial number and would like to know what the correct case back sticker looks like. I have seen a couple come up on auction sites but unsure if its the right one to purchase. Also would the new ceramic bezel protector fit my watch. regards Dave

The ceramic bezel protector will not fit the earlier models.

It is just a sticker buddy. I used to come home and peel them off and throw it in the garbage.

You already have a compete set it you have the boxes, warranty card and booklets and a couple of little worthless tags.

Enjoy the watch and please, please don't spend money on a sticker.

Have to agree the case back sticker must be one of the most useless things that Rolex have ever used over the years.Myself glad they got rid of them if kept on all they did was attract sweat dirt and bacteria acid on the case back. And the other bits of plastic like bezel protectors which many ADs just throw away at point of sale as I would doubt if you would wear a watch with a bezel protector on.And a full set for a 2002 watch well you have a packaging box,and few bits of plastic and the so called papers. Which in real terms equate to a warranty paper just like you get with say a TV.And seeing that the warranty has long expired well its just a bit of paper.And will remind you guys that these bits of so called Rolex papers dont always prove its a genuine watch.Fact bits of paper are the easiest to fake and I have seen many over the years that would fool most.

It's a watch, it's supposed to be worn on the wrist...Not displayed at the MOMA

Plus, if you cobble together a complete kit, it's worth no more and you wasted money on stickers and bezel protectors

Yes, you are all probably right, I thought it was of some importance as when you see some used watch's advertised the seller makes a point of the stickers in place. But as you all point out its just a sticker. and the one good thing of these forums it gives you a different perspective.so I won't bother and save my money,many thanks.
