Didn’t comply with Rolex requirement of removing all stickers on my BLRO.

Just found these two by accident after two months.

They were so nice that I think I will just remove them on my own and not file a formal complaint.

That’s totally unacceptable!
You should sell it to me for full MSRP so you don’t have to live with this injustice.

RHIII · 28 November 2018, 03:04 AM

Funny!

I’ve found those SAME stickers on so many of my watches after wearing for quite some time!!

They are easily forgotten!!!

Enjoy!!

If they missed those two easy ones, I’m sure there’s at least one more lurking about...ahem, clasp area...

You are right. Holy cow.

Unacceptable. Need to report them now.

123Blueface · 28 November 2018, 03:14 AM

More!!!

My AD forgot one on my Daytona. It was rather satisfying to remove.

LOL. your watch just depreciated by 20%!

Will still pay full MSRP any day :-)

jsausley · 28 November 2018, 04:12 AM

I found one on my BLNR about a month after buying it too. It was one of the small ones on the lug and only on one of the four lugs. Fun.

Chiboy · 28 November 2018, 04:15 AM

Ha, OP could have sold this “new with stickers” but he started peeling too soon.

BT1985 · 28 November 2018, 04:42 AM

Just looked at my new BLNR because of this thread and....double uh oh....

March right back into the store, throw the watch at them, and demand your money back.

That'll teach 'em!

timedate · 28 November 2018, 04:46 AM

if you think about it, they have absolutely no right to either touch your stickers, or keep your warranty card, we live in stupid times when we accept this.

Congrats!

I had two stickers on my clasp on my 116500. Back when I had the LVc I found a tiny sticker on the clasp a good 2 years after wearing the watch.

BakerView · 28 November 2018, 05:58 AM

What's the worst that could happen? You leave it on and it saves you from a ding one day, or until it is noticeable and you peel it off....

easterbunny · 28 November 2018, 06:04 AM

My AD laughed at me once for going in with a watch where I added a small strip of scotch tape to protect my clasp.

bradyb · 28 November 2018, 06:20 AM

After stickers are removed, the AD should be required to run your new watch through a little brushing machine that adds all sorts of micro-scratches so it absolutely cannot be resold as new.

Sort of like the complimentary carwash at the dealership, where you take your car in for service and it comes back clean but with all those nice little scratches and swirlies.

Good idea? Would also prevent so many of these "scratch magnet" emails.

SS Oyster · 28 November 2018, 06:35 AM

That’s next - mandatory carbon steel screwdriver scratch added to 2 o’clock lug and scotch bright on 9 o’clock side to price you won’t sell as new.

Unacceptable! sell it me and end all of this once and for all.

bradyb · 28 November 2018, 06:44 AM

So maybe chewed up screws and scratched lugs during AD bracelet resizing is done on purpose? Hmmm..... very clever indeed.

jstan9 · 28 November 2018, 07:50 AM

After well over a month I found tiny stickers here and there on my BLNR. I don’t know how any human could find and remove them all when sizing a watch.

But I’d report them anyhow!

It's happened to me so many times.

Now I know where to look.

Very easy. I found two stickers six weeks after I bought my rose gold GMT and I clean my watches before I wear them. They are good at hiding. It’s like a Easter egg hunt.

imperio · 28 November 2018, 11:02 AM

Non compliant ADs deserve to lose their dealership status. The audacity!

el-heffe · 28 November 2018, 11:02 AM

I loved your post. It should be my take on all the AD requirements. I found a tiny sticker on my BLNR a few weeks after getting it.
