I finally did it.

After three years I finally took off the stickers. I truly don't know why I left them on. I think I just got caught up in the Daytona hype and would wear my other watches just so it would stay minty mint. At the end of the day, I don't care if it's pristine anymore; time to wear the heck out of it now.

There probably was a wait list to take off the stickers

Love it - it’s meant to be worn and life’s too short not to enjoy that one.

Unlike a Rembrandt, it's for hanging on your wrist, not on a wall.

You could have still worn it and used it however much you wanted even if it had the stickers on. Taking them off makes no difference other than the fact that you will scratch it up.
