In Response To: (Message Deleted by Poster) ()

Thank you for clearing up about untouched. I just used NOS as an example. We have seen many advertisements here where watches were described as NOS but then it was clear that the description was not fitting.

The description of aspects of your watch, such as the bezel, the crystal, etc suggested that the watch was in excellent condition (which I accept) and therefore my mistake in assuming you meant that the case was also like new, perfect (similar to other parts of the watch). Your price though, seems to match the condition of the watch. I agree with the previous post that it is a great piece.

My intention was not to insult you. I invited reactions so that I can get a sense of what descriptive terms mean in vintage as opposed to modern watches.

: Untouched means that case was not restored... in my opinion.
: Nos means New Old Stock.
: Scratches on bezel?Maybe in a 10x picture youn can see something...
: About NOS... I never wrote this is a NOS.
