I bought my watch 11 weeks ago today and have worn it every day since.
I've worn it sleeping, golfing, swimming, on the beach, gardening, doing construction, everything really. It's daily clean has been while on my wrist in the shower, but today I took it off to scrub it with dish soap and a toothbrush only to discover the case back sticker had never been removed.

Should I just leave it there? Or remove the offending (albeit super inconspicuous) item ???

Peel it off. Don’t peel it off. Whichever you prefer

Don’t overthink it

Magnet for dead skin / bacteria / grime - can never understand why people keep these on.

Have to agree

To each their own I guess.

I would remove it. Prefer bare steel to a plastic sticker against my skin.

When you put it like that

I couldn't peel it off quick enough.

Giving the case back another scrub now.

Unnecessary to use a tooth brush. A little dish soap rubbed on by hand, rinse and pat it dry with microfiber or terry cloth. I’ve never rubbed my Rolexes with anything.

Rip it off!

Okay, that was a little dramatic.
