I need to start a forum for the Most Often Abused Terms for watches.

I get that the term GRAIL is way over used but is there anything wrong with that watch?

He says it has the wrong bezel on it. Not sure how that was fitted, but there is not diver's bezel on it.

 :P :wtf      some one had to search the parts bins a long time to find that "bezel"!!! i like the spots on the dial. yeah right, you will be able to get you a bezel anywhere for this beauty!! cant wait to see what someone will pay for this "grail".

Amen brother! Testify!

The list of most overused annoying watch terms online is getting larger:

1. Mint (inlcuding "minty" and every other stupid sounding variation)
2. Rare
3. NOS (and Near NOS, which is a state that doesnt even exist for god sakes!)
4. Grail
5. Poor Man's Heuer (I am going to end up beating someone unconscious for using this term in front of me I think)
6. Ploprof (not every heavy dive watch is a Ploprof)

and the list goes on and on.....

I saw a new one today!

    Condition:    Pre-owned
    Seller Notes:    "new old stock condition, $1895.00 retail!!"

A Zodiac from THAT company made at the turn of the century, but the seller has replaced the leather band with a NOS one from the 1990's (you can tell by the recycled buckle they used from the 1970's and the band markings).
