Rolex? Why?

Thanks for sharing.

I would prefer to keep the sticker there till it wear off itself. lately while sharing my preference to Local AD hourglass, he bring out a watch sticker import from japan and help me to wrap round the bracelet area. The tape are very thin and transparent, cannot see from naked eye unless zoom in. He told me its for watch

My Swiss AD removed all the stickers, but not my local AD.

It's natural human behaviour I guess...I am guilty of it myself. I normally leave the stickers on for maybe a month...after that everything comes off. When it is brand new, tendency to handle it with tender loving care is very strong....after a while who cares. I guess its the same for most brand new purchases, eg. handphone..etc.

I really don't understand why some people love to have the stickers stick all over a nice watch.

If the watch is for collection, then in the 1st place you should not be wearing it.

If you buy the watch for wearing, I believe you won't sell it away until to an extend when you want to upgrade or in need of cash.

Even the watch is scratch after wearing for 5 yrs, you can always go back RSC for overhaul where they will polish and return u as per Rolex new piece.

IMO, you buy a watch to wear for good health not to over protect it, just need to be careful will do.

Yes fully agreed. Ultimately it will be naked, just a matter of time. Lol

First you are saying you dont understand, then you are agreeing?
