    I just read yet another eBay auction for an Omega with "dolphin hands". I can't help but think, what an idiot! This bugs me to no end. What pet peeves involving watches or collecting do you have.

    My favorite has been when someone asked "is this really NOS?" they replied:

    "Yes, New Off Shelf. Been on my shelf for years"

    I guess my pet peeve is one that I often am guilty of myself. Talking about lower prices on watches that have already been bought.

    I feel like it's a gentleman's agreement to avoid talking about what's a good deal once one of your buddies have already purchased said watch.

    Sellers who add unnecessary waffle and CAPITAL letters to bull out their ads.

    in the vein of dolphin hands: Bombay lugs.

    And of course the evergreen use of Bi-Compax to mean two-subdial chronograph
