YAY! Finally, someone who understands that NOS is more a description of the HISTORY of a watch, rather than the CONDITION! Out of the 70 solid gold watches I got from New York, ALL were New-Old-Stock, but only a handful were still in "Mint" condition. Seems like we've had this discussion before, but it's worth repeating...NOS does not, and should not, imply the watch is in perfect or "new" condition. Always ask additional questions, or better yet, request additional pictures, if there is any doubt as to exact condition. It's a cheap way to spare yourself some wasted money, or real heartbreak [nowhere on Earth does the phrase "caveat emptor" apply more strongly than on eBay!].
