Near mint?

If this is near mint, how bad is "worn daily"

I have to admit I saw the ad and thought the same thing. Maybe a friendly message to the seller who perhaps doesn't understand the terminology would do the trick?

Ok, just to clear this up. Member had previous warning about use of the word 'mint', with multiple other members reporting his listings, and now a thread on the subject. Posting privileges have been suspended for a month, and similarly misleading listings in future, or any attempts like the one above to return under another name will result in a full ban.

" attempts like the one above to return under another name"

Naughty naughty

And then the nerve to berate the OP for calling him out. Good riddance.

This watchfam douchebag was banned on canwatchco ages ago. How he continued to sell on here for so long before it caught up to him amazes me.

Bye Felicia!

He can blame me all he wants, it was blatantly unethical to call that watch "near mint".

You did the right thing to question the listing. It was not mint.

Adam offered a well-reasoned explanation that shows repeated “mint” references were misleading.

If Watchfamm returns, hopefully he can simply adhere to generally acceptable norms. Otherwise buyers need to be very watchful in their dealings.
