Hi all new here and a question

**karlm** · 11-28-2007, 08:30 PM

Hi all i am new here i brought my first rep a few months ago.

Started off with a noob sub, The hologram has come off the back does it matter?

Is it normal to have a plain back on the sub when the hologram has come off?

Thanks all for the help in advance

hey Karl, welcome to RepGeek.

That's 100% perfectly normal and happens even w the genuine watches. No need to even give it any mind at all.

Enjoy the forum.

Cheers

Thanks mate so just to clarify there is no ingravings on the caseback on a sub?

**J-C** · 11-28-2007, 08:38 PM

It will depend on the model you have. Is it a regular black sub? If so...no markings at all.

Welcome karl, I would not worry about it. Even on the gens it comes off and most owners remove it as it can get to be anoying. i remove them off mine when they arrive.

The newest versions of the gen only come with a clear caseback sticker anyways, no hologram. They realized that it wasn't detering anyone.
I took the sticker off my gen 5 minutes after I bought it because it starts to irritate my skin when I get a little sweaty. Think about it... Gen owners know its gen, so why would they care about the sticker on the back of the case? They have nothing to prove.
Welcome!

As Sylar said, alot of gen owners take the sticker off when they buy the watch and keep it with the papers, and then maybe put it back on when they sell it.

You can buy holograms on eBay of varying quality.

I also read that the stickers can actually end of containing lots of bactera from your skin/perspiration etc. Not sure if that is true, but it really doesn't matter if you don't have a sticker.

hi Karl, welcome

Most people look for sticker when thy are buying new ones....after that....no issues...if it's new and never been worn...a sticker is needed i would think.
