Please see our ChronoTrader Policies and Terms of Use. | Learn more about How To Include Photos In Your Postings. |
Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]
I hope I am not out of line here. From time to time watches advertised not only here but elsewhere as well are described as "mint", "NOS" etc and when one looks at the pictures they tell a different story. Please educate me. If a watch case is described as "untouched" and the bezel "like new" but the pictures show scratches and indentations, can these marks be overlooked because the watch is vintage? What then if a vintage watch is as new as the day when it was manufactured, placed in a safe and taken out 40 years later? How does one describe that watch? As a nitpicky person I want a seller to describe each and every mark on the watch so that, when I buy it, I know what I will receive.
