    Does anyone know where I can get a few dozen assorted sizes?

    You sir, are a gentleman, whomever you are. Give yourself a hug and a pat on the back~!

    BTW these are HIGHLY recommended if anyone has such poor taste as to wear a nylon NATO on a regular basis (I was spotted in one last week, so yes, I can say this).

    Do note that there are crystal stickers and caseback stickers. Caseback stickers have some low tack adhesive to hold them on. Crystal stickers can be that thicker vinyl "cling wrap" material, which won't stick to casebacks. Careful that you're buying the right thing.

    Ooooh, nice. Looks like a good way to protecting those enameled casebacks on the Conquests if they'll stick.

    Your best shot at preserving the water rights of that fish is to size the sticker to extend no further than the edges of the inner SS circle.

    Also a good way of protecting the minuscule caseback engravings on the later Universals.

    For anyone about to place an order (in CONUS), I'll trade 25 or so of my 28mm stickers for your 24mm stickers.

    Be carefully with those Longines enamel case backs....I remember Dennis saying something a while back about these caseback stickers possibly removing the enamel!:eek:

    I'd be very surprised, as they're low tack adhesive... but you've been warned folks.
