Any reason why HK ADs need stickers to be removed but not SG?
No reason. Their policy. Ways to combat reselling.
Only applies to certain AD, especially if you're a walk in and usually for popular sports models
In SG, we can say what we want to get our way, because its SG.
We can complaint, blah blah blah, especially those rich that support the AD alot.
Imagine, you spending 6 figures yearly at the AD.
When a rolex you wanted or was offered to you, they say must take out stickers.
Will you throw a b1tch fit about it? Comon, we're all sinkie, we know we will.
Some might sell it, some might keep it for collection and wants it in its factory form.
