I just a received NOS watch with stickers..

As I intend to wear the watch and not to keep it in a drawer I 'd like to take stickers off it.

However it just go away mm after mm... Do you guys have a trick to get it off?

You can see below some attempts with nails but it wil take me 2 days to get this off and I'm afraid to scratch it with nails.





Thank you for your help

Acetone should work. Try to be careful not to let it get near seals.

 

If you're going to wear it "everyday" let it just go away by itself

 

Heat works well to get stickers off, like a hair drier but I'm not sure this is the best thing for your watch. Acetone would take the glue off but not sure it would help if it's covered with plastic.

Edit: if you take the case back off you could blast it with heat and peel it off! Wouldn't do this with it on!

 

Acetone on cotton swab worked perfectly

This one os ready to see the light after 40 years sleeping in a drawer!

Thanks for help guys!

 

what a cool piece...... any idea when it was made and what lives inside?

 

Hope you got it serviced

 

It is a Port Royal II from 1975.

Inside is a Zenith 2832 (ETA based bring up to 36000vph)

 

I will soon

Thanks for the kind advice

 

Nice looking zenith
Good catch!!

 

Nice looking watch an even better to see that it will finally get to live outside of a safe. Wear it in good health and enjoy.
