·Inaccurately applied. I understand it's a tricky thing to assess, but sometimes it seems dishonest.
What information should be included in sales listings?

·Although I value the effort to reduce unvertainty and imrpove the sales listing, the different kinds of listings makes the charm of collecting. Some are very accurate, some write very very long descriptions, some just present their watch with pics. I like the diversity despite some annyoing points like not telling the diameter, important information like the price between a bulk of pics etc.
I also believe one information to be important: The case diameter. Any other characteristics of the watch, I have to evaluate on my own. If someone says, the dial is original, I can believe the seller, but Imho I should do my own due diligence and have to inspect the dial. Same holds for the other characteristics.
And the non-disclosure of some characteristics in the description tells me so much about the seller... So I am in the no template boat.

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.Just curious of your opinion: do you feel its overused and applied inaccurately to watches that have obviously been polished?

··Thanks, mystery donor!it is the absence of a template/format that provides me information about the seller, nevermind information about the watch.
Give that same seller a series of prompts to fumble through some uninterested and uninformed responses, and have I lost something?

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerIt is a rare vintage watch that has NOT seen a polish of some sort in its long life. I’d tread carefully with that claim. Perhaps “not overpolished” is more defensible.
Any listing that claims to be “unpolished” I just close and move on. Let the (hopefully good quality) photos speak for themselves.
