This is why manadatory pictures in the sales forum is good

If you bought a watch that was described in lengthy detail as "conservatively 90%" and received this, would you be satisfied?



Aside from outright scams, terribly inaccurate descriptions can be fought against by detailed pictures, which do speak louder than words.

I agree 100%. I bought one from e-bay that, based on the description, should have looked like a brand new watch. It was scratched as all get out with a couple of dents in it to boot.

Needless to say I returned it and bought one from a person here on the forum. Even with pictures they had hidden the flaws by slick photography.

Thanks for sharing this.

That ad was taken from TZ. Maybe it's the high volume of listings, but TZ's grading standards are not followed very often. At least TRF, most sellers are held more accountable.
