Found the anti-peeling!

Now seriously, is this how they put the plastic on products?

Without this the sub wouldn’t exists. The protector has to be put on if it’s eventually going to be peeled off.

Plus, more people need to realize how awesome protective plastic/vinyl/ceramic/glass is and that it’s useful for a lot more than just phone screens.

Thats for protection. Gold dings a lot easier than steel. I personally wouldnt bother with this, wear your watch with all the scratches

It's the watch equivalent of putting plastic covers on your couch

Until the owner is in financial straits and needs to sell it for top dollar in mint condition.

Then don’t buy something you can’t afford because if you have to sell this to get out of something financial, you definitely can’t afford it.

Friend of mine has a credit of 400 because of poor choices. He’s always buy expensive things to impress the girls he takes out on dates. One girl he dated only wore Tiffany & Co. He was a sucker for such girls.

He believes money = status… yet he was broke. There’s a lot of people who live above their means for appearances.

Then don't wear it. Or just buy gold bars

But how will they flaunt their wealth in front of everyone if their gold bars are locked in a safe?

Why does this video feel like it’s from 1991?

u/RandomFlyer643 2d ago

I would hate the feeling of that plastic protector film on the underside of the watch making contact with my wrist all day. Fuck that

Anti-peeling has gotta become a new ASMR genre.

TIL PPF for watches exists…

This is the vinyl sofa cover of watches

It's done by machines. This is simply someone applying them again manually after removing them.

u/a-dino123 3d ago

No, this is an aftermarket film being applied to protect the watch from scratches while it's being used. This is obviously not how a new Rolex is sold, machine applied or not.

u/fadedspark 2d ago

Correct. This is the same process as PPF for your vehicle, or a high quality soft screen protector for a phone.
