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.
