Saw this odd marking on a black dial sky dweller on DavidSW I’m considering - anyone know what this is? Thanks!

Kipwinger1980 · 7 July 2021, 10:52 PM

Here it is

Bar code on the protective plastic sticker.

Its a sign of you having received a stickered watch, a rare and valuable thing to have these days. Congratulations!

Annan · 7 July 2021, 11:01 PM

It's a sort of "bar code" printed on the sticker.

Kipwinger1980 · 7 July 2021, 11:01 PM

But is that literally the sticker?

I don’t recall the stickers from the ones purchased from my AD bc they remove them in real time. Thanks!

padi56 · 7 July 2021, 11:02 PM

Its purely AD inventory plastic sticker bar code nothing more and easily peeled off.

enjoythemusic · 7 July 2021, 11:05 PM

Normal. Just remove the sticker and wear her :)

These are likely overseas ADs that are leaving stickers on but are legit nonetheless.

Kipwinger1980 · 7 July 2021, 11:06 PM

Thanks everyone!

epicurus · 7 July 2021, 11:06 PM

Why dont you ask seller on watch youre interested in?

911_3.6 · 7 July 2021, 11:13 PM

As others have stated, just a bar code on the sticker protecting the side of the case during transport and handling.

This sticker covers the entire side of the case and you can see the tabs on the bottom of the watch, wrapping around to the case back.

Good sign of an OEM sticker which are rarely seen in the wild today since nearly all AD’s remove the stickers prior to purchase. This indicates the watch should be in new and unworn condition.

zewill · 7 July 2021, 11:18 PM

If you took the time to look closely, you can see the sticker on the left. If you were interested in Rolex before all this yolo buy everything you see fad, you would have been allowed to try them on at ADs and you would have noticed all the stickers. Sad that now everything happens online and people buy from the guys that create the shortages, while also handing them a fat pile of extra cash.

No need to attack the OP here. You were once just like him or her, trying to be informed about an expensive purchase. In fact, the OP states that they have purchased at an AD before, so they're likely not this caricature that you describe.

sj24k · 7 July 2021, 11:52 PM

Now that you’ve got your answer, I hope you get your watch. Sky D is awesome, and David is a great guy to buy it from.

(Ignore the grey haters and consider yourself fortunate to be able to get the watch you want, when you want it.)

Im not attacking anyone (except greys). I’m just stating about the sad market we are in; had this been at an ad, maybe the customer could’ve asked the salesperson who would’ve loved to share how it helps Rolex in their inventory etc etc. Only questions now are ‘ is anything in stock’.
Yes, maybe I did sound a bit rude. Apologies.
frustrating for everyone, except maybe for the greys…

I love QR codes...

ks58 · 8 July 2021, 01:34 AM

Part of the sticker.

ThatSubGuy · 8 July 2021, 01:37 AM

Yup, fresh sticker they scratched off the QR code as it probably has sensitive information.

garyk · 8 July 2021, 01:43 AM

Enjoy!!

sportsfan0704 · 8 July 2021, 01:54 AM

When a secondary seller like David or others have pieces with stickers like this, does that mean they always came from international AD? Or is it possible it’s still coming from US authorized dealer who just didn’t comply with Rolex policy to remove?

Masteryacht · 8 July 2021, 02:19 AM

Remove sticker, place on forehead, drive on.

Jshwarms · 8 July 2021, 02:19 AM

It is part of the original sticker set on new Rolex watches. Rarely seen in the wild anymore these days. DSW is legit and you should have no worries purchasing from them!

Hard_Six · 8 July 2021, 02:49 AM

Nothing to worry about. The watch just has clothes on. A rarity to find these days...

TunaTuna · 8 July 2021, 02:51 AM

David SW is the best dealer in all of the United States... of America

Ced4jets · 8 July 2021, 03:18 AM

Agree - I traded a watch with him recently and was treated very fairly. The new unworn watch came fully stickered.

Speedbird-1 · 8 July 2021, 03:23 AM

It's the new, HEV.
