Or "Just serviced. Comes with 12 months warranty" and than the watch is 30 MINUTES fast per day and in a massive need of a complete overhaul.
Happened to me two months ago when I bought a watch from an allegedly reputable dealer in Germany.


Could you please let me know through PM which dealer that was since I have contact with some German dealers for a new watch and I'm not looking to do business with scumbags.

A good seller would disclose that scratch or imperfection IMO...

Yeah I think so too. Don't know why it's listed as mint when it clearly isn't.

What's all that junk directly above the pearl?


I think the technical term is schmutz .

This seller is clearly dishonest and the pictures say a 1000 words about the true nature of the watch - the ad doesn't pass the sniff test. No need to get bothered by it. Just move on.

Is this an Ebay listing? Is so, it's very easy to make a mistake like that because the easiest way to list is to be working off some sort of template and just making small changes. The "sell similar" feature is probably the one that would be used most, and I have made a very similar mistake. (having a used watch showing as new because my previous listing was for a new one)

This is from Chrono24 where this particular seller is listed as a professional seller with recommendations from a couple other professionals so I think this is rather troublesome.

On Chrono24, you deliberately have to check "mint" if that's how you want it listed. I listed a CSO there that was in WAY better condition than this, and I certainly didn't list it as mint.

That's what makes this whole situation so bizarre. But I guess I'll start to report items that do not fit the description so other people who don't have attention to detail don't get screwed.
