We know that he wore it when he was 11 and 15. This is just a theory, but I think he removed it when he was 13 or 14. The facts are that Ben removed it because he wanted to feel normal (which is totally out of character) and he had nothing to do with plumbers, aliens, mutants or the omnitrix during that time. In Ultimate Alien Gwen said, "Remember Mr. Baumann's shop? We haven't been here since we were 12."If Ben wanted to be normal I don't think he would be going to an alien grocery store. Also, in Alien Swarm Ben said that Elana moved away 3 years ago. If Alien Swarm happened when he was 15 that would make him 12, but if it happened when he was 16 then that would make him 13. Also, when the DNAlien attacked Ben in the Rustbucket, Ben slapped his wrist out of habit, so it seems that he had removed not long before that. Those are the facts, what do you think?
