Think I’d do the clasp only - just because the clasp is really vulnerable to knocks / scratches. Wouldn’t bother with the rest. Good comparison video though.
agree
yes, this will be my go to way for the future as well. Clasp only with some premium stickers.
I’m actually not so sure about this. Imagine how the watch will look a few years later. The watch will have hairlines and scratches all over but the clasp will look brand new. Won’t that look odd?
@@DarylChangs possibly - but it’s likely your watch would be due a service and as part of the service they would give it a polish so unless you’ve really damaged your watch it’ll be look like a new watch.
This seems like overkill, but a good video nonetheless
You’ve made a good review but I couldn’t imagine putting these on my watches. In my opinion either wear it or keep it locked up as an investment. Watching this with the first scratches on my new Explorer;)
Felicitari pentru Explorer, 1 sau 2? Eu am versiunea 39 mm Mark 2.
I feel the same. If I wanted a pristine watch to sell I would not wear it. As it is, these bumps and bruises are meaningful.
In a way, I agree, in some cases though I think this is a good idea. If you have a vintage watch but want to wear it and protect its condition (especially if the eye is mint), these make a lot of sense. I've seen this a lot in the car industry for rare vintage cars, a lot of the time they apply a paint protection film. Since if the car's paint is in excellent condition, you want to protect it to avoid the fragile paint getting damaged. Especially in high wear areas.
In my opinion however if you use these on a modern watch it doesn't make sense, as long as you are careful all that needs to be done when you resell it is have it serviced and polished at an AD.
Lots of people don’t like this. I found your review great. I agree with people you should just wear your watches. But I put this on my meteorite Pepsi. Figured I wanted my watch looking prime. And honestly you can’t even see the stickers they fit so perfectly. And I put full ppf on my Ferrari F8 and you can’t even see it so why not do the same for my favorite watch.
Thanks for the great tutorial..but it's a hard pass for me ..the small ripples , dimples and small air bubbles would drive me nuts more so then a scratch or 2 .. but I'm glad you posted the results .👌
Great video. Thank you for going over the various options and showing how it's done.
Great video thanks again, do you think the stickers will peel away at the corners/ start to come away form the watch overtime? But great idea, i really like it. Now if only Rolex would see me my fist watch :/
We use clear decals in the automotive industry. To help remove stubborn air bubbles warm the watch up with a hair dryer. I’ve been covering my clasps for years in a 3M product. Cost to cover a clasp 10 cents
could you please show me where can i buy these stickers? How do you cut it to the right size?
Hi yes could you tell me where you could get this for watches at wholesale prices?
What did you use to clean the watches??
How long before "trusted" grey dealers will be paying expert appliers to re- create Rolex watches with "full stickers" adding a nice premium to watches sold to unsuspecting clients? 😂😂
😂😂
You did a good job applying the shields.
*Very interesting, good to know. An excellent idea.*
Reminds me of applying decals on my model kits.
That's exactly what I thought! Also it wears away over time.
I will get the watch shells and try them. Looks amazing on your datejust, invisible.
I can’t think of anything worse than covering my watches in stickers. Really…….just enjoy your watch
Couldn’t agree more!
Yeah. Like putting a cover on your phone and using a screen protector.
@@koolpep I personally don’t see it as the same thing, but that said, I don’t have a cover for my phone or screen protector 😁
@@Mark..P what’s different? Both protect the item from scratches and protect them 🤷🏼♂️ just because it’s a watch people get salty. I have put on stickers on the clasps and sides on two of my expensive Rolex but left the rest of my collection alone….
@@koolpep Like I say, I personally don’t think it is the same. Watches are something I enjoy, I collect (I have several Rolex pieces, a Patek etc), and like to use and wear them without them being covered in stickers that collect dirt, look strange and start to peel. My watches do collect minor scratches and that is ok, they are meant to be used and that adds to the character. I also don’t buy as an investment or to re sell. You can always get dents micro welded if you so wish. A phone on the other hand (to me) is just a disposable tool that I have no connection with at all and if it gets damaged, it is insured and gets replaced. I hope you have a great day Ralf.
Amazing watches 😍
i have scratches on my datejust speedmaster breitling oris hamilton and bb58 used to bother me but the more watches i collect the more i dont mind the scratches anymore its what makes my watches different from the ones on display at the ad if i buy a daytona or a royal oak they go in my safe as assets end of story. you can afford it buy it use it build memories scar it and if you so incline polish it at service and repeat. no wrap or invisible plastics on my 911 just enjoying the paint shine and if it scratches i polish it and enjoy it again. just my opnion i love all your videos btw
Thank you very much :)! I am completely neutral, I respect people who like stickers and the ones who hate the stickers. As long as people enjoy their watches and don't buy to flip they can do whatever they want in my opinion :)!
I'm almost never washing my Forester Turbo (on the outside), first ding on my Explorer 1 was painful and now it’s full of scratches after more than 2 years, the Sub is in proces of colecting scratches.
Does anyone know who the supplier is of the WatchShells or how I could get this at wholesale price?
Có bán đồng hồ màu trắng không ạ
As always I enjoy your videos but I”ll pass on the stickers I really enjoy getting natural use scratches on my watches
The answer to desk diving what a good idea that affects everyone with a high polished clasp
Great job!
I would love to see them compared to the stickers from your german youtube colleague kai from watchvice!
He sells them between 39 and 69€, depends on the model.
Greets from germany!
If you could only have 3-4 Rolexes which ones would they be?
Starbucks
Pepsi
& what else?
⭕How would I remove the protective film after a year of use on the watch? Go in full detail.
Super Video

How long does it take to ship?
I think only few days
The trick is to dip your fingers in the water too. And use your fingers more… You’ll get better results with bubbles and accuracy that way.
I love a shiny mint watch but this dulls the shine and listure and would not satisfy most people just wear it be careful and enjoy and occasionally cape cod claps 💪👍👍I’ve had my watch nearly 5 years if u see it the condition u will not believe it
No way I am doing this . We take the stickers when we buy them off work great pleasure no way we go back to this cheap trick. If used a lot buy a new watch that’s it 😎 I don’t even use a protection to my iPhone pro max 13 anymore because I want to enjoy the quality and craftsmanship of the product
Thats a big fat no from me, watches are to be worn.
Useful video, would personally only put some stickers on the clasp.
Some will get tired of this quickly. Best to spend your precious time looking for the next timepiece.
Enjoy your videos but don’t agree at all in putting a DIY kit on your watch that’s meant to be worn, exposed, take the battle scars of daily life & when it comes to a Rolex service, comes back like new.
I think it’s just different solutions. You polish your watches - other rather sticker them. There is no right or wrong. Just different ways to keep the watch pristine and wear them worry free. 🤷🏼♂️
@@koolpep stickers to me show a mile off & also the very thought that they’ve been applied on there. Each to their own but it’s nonsensical to me.
@@unclejonga At arms length you can’t tell if applied well. I agree it’s not for everyone. But I never had a watch worth $20k plus until recently. (My max was about $10k) so I am a bit cautious. 🤷🏼♂️ maybe I get used to it and I don’t care anymore.
@@unclejonga just put these on my meteorite Pepsi. You literally cannot see them at all. Who knows how it will look in a year but I’ll keep wearing it and see! Did everything but the band. I was most worried about the clasp as I’m on the computer all day. And really was only gonna do the clasp but the kit I ordered came with everything so figured why not lol.
I think this is really sad. Just enjoy your watch. Stop panicking about retained value. Wear it and enjoy it!
Sad for some happy for others. I enjoy some of my watches like crazy now with a sticker on the sides of the head and clasp. Because I usually scratch them a lot. The rest I leave empty.
You made this look easy. I spent 2 hours on my wife’s datejust to allow her to wear bracelets. They kinda did their job until they started coming off. I think they are a good idea but I think we are a few years from protecting this product
This is like buying nice shoes and then putting disposable shoe covers over them.......what a tragedy
Very good review. I don’t have stickers on my watches except two. I put these stickers on the sides of the head and the clasp only. Impossible to see and I am wearing my watches more relaxed. Saves me one polish at some point….
Which watch did you put it on? Thanks
@@comeonman7423 SkyDweller clasp and on the slab side of my Explorer II. None of my Blancpain, Breguet, Tudors, Omegas or dress watches have stickers though.
@@koolpep thanks! Was thinking to do this for my Tudor as it scratches so easy. I
Think it’s a good idea
I have 5 Rolexes…hard pass for me. I wear all of mine and enjoy them.
I use watch shells in my submariner 126610ln. It is so compatible that I could even apply it on quartz crystal with the cyclops. Highly recommended.
A nice timepiece is like a nice auto, it needs special attention, same as your lady.
no way I would ever put on something like this to dull the looks of my collection. if someone cannot enjoy their purchases comfortably without worrying about value, it means they made an irresponsible purchase for their given financial position at that particular time. watches are not investments; they are toys we buy for fun with disposable entertainment budget. if someone is so worried about tiny scratches, don't buy the watch, invest the money until you are in a financial position to enjoy the watch when value of this watch is no longer meaningful to you. i am not saying this to show off, i've personally passed on many watches because i couldn't comfortably write off the price as unnoticeable.
I think you also have to consider that some people buy - let’s say an OP41 turquoise- and a 6k euro watch turns into a 25k euro watch after a few months of the release. While you can comfortably dismiss 6k - it’s now worth 5x. And that alone can make people uncomfortable. I know - 1st world problems. But the watch world is crazy. 🤷🏼♂️
Alternatively there are also people who just don’t like scratches on their watches. 🤷🏼♂️ rather than scratching and then polishing it - they use stickers nobody can see from a distance. Why not? It’s the owners prerogative.
@@koolpep I hear what you are saying, and I partially agree with you. Nearly all my pieces had appreciated greatly in value, but since watches are not investments, I still wear them normally as if they are worth the same price I paid for them before the market went nuts; resale value is meaningless if watches are not mistreated as investments.
As to OCD collectors who cannot stand any scratches - well, if someone is neurotic to that level, they no longer own their watches but their watches own them. And where’s the joy in that, if you are emotionally burdened by the fear of damaging something that’s supposed to bring you happiness?
I completely agree with what you said, it’s their own prerogative. I am just throwing out a different philosophy, perhaps more people can enjoy wearing watches if they stop worrying about things that shouldn’t matter.
@@OperationNonsense understood. All my watches have scratches. I wear them all regularly and don’t baby them. Only with the two pieces that I might sell one day - I use the stickers on specific parts only and can still enjoy them and bash them around without much care. So I am very happy and relaxed with that.
So true great comment. I think absolutley the same !!!!!
NO LONGER SHINY, I TOOK MINE OFF
hi , i have received a notification that i won a premium?
Terrible, use your watch and enjoy it
IMO The stickers make the watches look like fake knockoff Rolexes. Maybe that is the unintended benefit because then nobody will try to steal your Rolex
Utter BS
waste of time. just enjoy your watch without stickers :)
I agree that can be useful, but what is too much is too much :)
It's like having a plastic cover on your expensive leather sofa. No thanks
Or using a screen protector and a cover for your phone.
I once got in a car in New Delhi, India - the guy still had the wrapping on the backseat as he wanted to protect the leather.
I said I want to protect my life - so can we remove the cover and allow me to access the poxy seatbelt lol
He obliged 👑
@@GonzoJamie 🤣
Enjoy your watches and stop thinking about the value of the sale ,Rolex makes watches for you to live with you and the generation after you and every scratch on the watch bears a memory, that's what a watch lover thinks
It does safe one polish though for people who like their watches crisp. 🤷🏼♂️
There's not a chance in hell I'd put this crap on my watches. i don't put plastic covers on my couch either like a 1950's housewife.
Ok. No phone cover or screen protector either, I suppose. 🤗
@@koolpep no. None. But it’s not a reasonable comparison. One has a watch strapped to your wrist. You could drop your phone at any time. But be my guest. Cover your watch in plastic if it makes you happy
@@michaelfierman3256 that’s my point. If it lets people enjoy their watches more - who are we to judge? Is it a bit silly - of course. But if it can delay a few years before a polish? Or allow you to wear it with other bracelets (the ladies) why not. Let’s keep an open mind. And unlike a sofa or car seats - nothing that touches your skin is covered….
I have 4 Rolex watches and all I can say is...No, No, No and No. Just my opinion.
Stickers? This is so stupid.
I don't get the point of these stickers. If you don't want to scratch it keep it in the safe. Stickers are just the absolute g@y imo.
Is this sticker-thing a joke?!?
nah not for me
This review is disingenuous. Yes, the review is great for selling a product. But, as watch lovers - something we hate and do not want.
Wear your watches and scratch them!!! Love them and put your mark on them.
Why the hate? Ceramic coating for cars, screen protectors for phones. Some people don’t like scratches. 🤷🏼♂️ I am a watch lover and put stickers on two of my watches, clasp and sides only. Result: I wear them worry free and more often - so why not.
@@koolpep no ceramic coating on my Land Rover Discovery Sport. No screen protector on my iPhone. No stickers on my Patek World Time 5231J 🌍
No cotton wool on my body when I go out - just scars that I’ve picked up from a lifetime of being out in the world. Scars from scratches that, each and every one tells a story. Such as a scar on my leg from when I was climbing a fence as a kid.
This is about using them for what they are designed and intended for.
@@GonzoJamie LR Disco - I wouldn’t put any ceramic coating on that either. It’s more for high end cars. So you have a cover for your iPhone? I do. Because I bash it around like no tomorrow. Like I do with my watches. My Vacheron has no stickers, none of my dress watches have. But I did put them on the clasp of my SkyDweller as scratches on the side really stick out. Anyhow you do you. But why berate others?
Fully agree Jamie
What is sad about this channel is that it started as a watch loving enthusiast and ended it up giving lessons and promoting false hype on how watches are considered investment assets. Watches are meant to be worn and enjoyed, not to be covered with some stupid stickers, if you can afford to buy any watch then you should enjoy it and not worry if it gets scratched.
Watches are NOT investment grade assets, they might appreciate / retain some of their value but 99% are just luxury items that are currently in high demand which can not be relied on for long term outlook (although it seems the bubble is starting to shrink).
Exactly! Market trends especially fashion hyped trends are frickle.
Watches are Toys. If you only wanna buy rolex Bec of hype..you will never get to enjoy the many other real enthusiasts' watch brands out there.
And agreed on buying watches you can "realistically" afford only and not keep looking over your shoulders worried about the resale value.
They are tool watches meant to be scratched this is pathetic
I wish TH-cam didn’t hide dislikes
37 dislikes
Yes why do they??
Jeez… wear your watches man
You’re now just a watch investor and not a true collector
because of 2 stickers on used watches?
I would never ever put any of these stupid pretentious stickers on any of my watches… if you need to be putting some silly plastic “protective” stickers on your Rolex, you don’t need to be owning a Rolex in the first place. Like if I’m going to put these dumb stickers on my Rollies I might as well put them on my fine Bulgari and Cartier jewelry as well right??? But hey, to each their own.
