What is this on the watch

Hi being a complete Newb at this, what is the mark circled in the picture, I have seen it on people QC pictures. Rolex if that matters.

A clear sticker that peels off. It's supposed to look like a QR code or something I think.

@McDuck888 is right - it's a QR code. If you hold your phone up to the screen and scan it, it links to a video which follows the assembly of your watch from start to finish in 8K hi-def, and ends with the factory anthem sung by the workers, plus a download link for one of those grids you can lay over your QC pics to ensure everything is lined up perfectly.

Strange, when I scanned mine a hologram of Princess Leah popped up.

All answers above are wrong. Those are ancient hieroglyphics from the Xia dynasty which was the first of many ancient Chinese ruling houses, thought to exist from around 2070 B.C.E. until 1600 B.C.E. These symbols are believed to be a coded message from the God of Replica Watches, The Holy King Hont of Intime and Theonewatches I.

The rep factories keep printing little stickers in the hope someone deciphers them. According to the legend, those who can decipher them will be awarded with the ancient holy secret of who has the best Sub, which is believed to shower the secret's keeper with unbelievable riches as every noob who ever asked for the secret will have to pay 1 USD.

According to my official calculations that should in fact result to an incredible fortune of no less than approximately 12 Billion USD.

Hope this helps.

It's a stickers used at the Rolex factory in GEN world, It is removed at the shop when the watch is sold. Nothing more special..
Netherless I really liked @p0pperini suggestion, should be used in this way to all rep factories

I thought this was true until I got to the "factory anthem sung by the workers" part.

Just imaging this scene made me laugh

would be interesting to see how these factories were actually set up though

i wonder why the rep factories actually put those silly stickers on watches ?

I assumed the gens now have protective stickers with QR codes on, so the rep factories copied ‘em. But that’s just an assumption, I’m way too lazy to do the research and find out if that’s actually the case.

Indeed, gen have this stickers when it come from factory to the reseller. So you're right, rep factory just copied.
