Just use your finger nail and it will come off.

I scrape that stuff off with a wooden toothpick. I also use a toothpick to lift the edges of clear stickers so I can pull them off easier.

removing stickers should be easiest thing to do.. just heat it a little if not coming off easily...

how much problems will be with unscrewing the crown if removing plastic cause so much trouble

We all have to start somewhere. And those little blue stickers are a bugger to get off. So I don't blame the OP for coming here for advice.

Oh god, I'm turning into P..DR..D

But anyway, when I got my first Sub rep, I broke fingernails in my fruitless efforts and then messaged the seller to complain that the crown was impossible to pull out. He politely explained the concept of the screw-down crown to me.

I remember seeing someone recommend tooth pics (like didjital7) and worked a charm for me too. They can be annoying, but rather them than scratches.

A hearty chuckle to start the day, thank you :thumbsup:

I often use wet Q-tips to remove this little buggers. Especially annoying to remove them from the coronet opening.

 

[toogoodtobetrue]

Thank you so much everyone!!! These are all helpful tips. I didn't know what it was, so a bit afraid to try anything because it could cause a damage. Thank you, thank you!

 

[Oascom]

I hate those too !

Gorilla tape or shipping tape, instant off

Not that stupid a question after all, was it? Thanks for the different solutions, had the problem myself very recently. And thanks to the help of experienced members, exactly what daytona4me meant by his post I just read minutes ago ("where you once a noob?"). I love this community.

As simple as it sounds, I once had a very tough one not coming off, it just wouldn't budge. I decided to then go ape on it with a toothpick. It will take some time, but that will not scratch the metal.

You must have had a really tough one. Usually the crown sticker is already peeling off. The bracelet is annoying. Especially when the stickers are really stuck into the clasp.

I had one on my hulk that wouldn't come off. I gave up and accepted it as part of the watch.

hmmm id try a dremel with a cloth polishing wheel

 

[mclarendude]

Worse comes to worse, q-tip with acetone. That what I do!

 

[JTL12]

A quick dip of a Q-tip in acetone will take these right off and not damage the crown at all.
