Oh, another sales listing pet peeve - the guy who has a generic watch strap and includes a close-up photo of the generic buckle. Or, my personal favorite, a photo of the back of the strap. “Padded 18mm”. Great, very helpful. Go ahead and skip the movement shot but at least I know the $3 strap includes extra padding.

More puzzled than peved....People who sell watches without a strap/bracelet.....put a strap on it, it's like someoneone selling a car but keeping the wheels.

This watch is "mint."

The use of the term "mint" for any collectible other than collectible coins, and the term is overused in numismatics.

...numismatics...

And another peeve I have is when our beloved "Junior" announces that he wants to crack these slabs open so he can get another super ball out of the machine at Kroger...gee whiz! 😲

Well, it is a super ball, after all.

As one who did something very similar in the folly of youth, I can empathize with the kid.

Unless it's this one, of course.

OHPF. For, like, ever, without being changed to ‘Sold’.

It makes me get my hopes up, only to have them dashed against the rocks of missed opportunity. 😕

Auction houses' descriptions of watches: the inevitable "extremely rare and important", little information on the condition, no movement pictures, etc.

"Watch face" -- Even if it's acceptable (is it?), "dial" is just so much more pleasing.

"Look at me" threads. Starting a new thread on a subject that already has a thread because you feel the current one won't draw enough attention to your, very important, point.

People with pet peeves. Peeves don't make good pets and should be left in the wild.
