Same difference..........

I've noticed watches being advertised in the sale forum as MINT, VERY GOOD , EXCELLENT, AND PERFECT CONDITION.

Do they all have the same meaning? Is never worn same as LNIB?

Never worn is just that--never worn.

I'd imagine NIB means just that.
And Never Worn means just that as well.
LNIB - well, it depends on who is selling for one to believe what is really is.

Again, never worn would be NIB = New In Box.

LNIB for me is: Like New In Box.

NO, never worn would be BNIB (Brand New In Box) with STICKERS attached and NEVER sized...

LNIB/MINT is often used by sellers to say the watch is close to flawless however this is often obtained by polishing the watch so it "looks" new again...

I have also seen sellers calling watches BNIB yet they have no stickers on them:think ing: This to me is NOT true and false advertising... If the stickers have been removed, the watch has been worn pure and simple
