After reading this, it's going to become rare that I read all the way through rare threads.

That was more than hurtful. What made it worse was that you didn't even include a smiley face to pretend you were kidding. :cry:

Also, while we are ranting. Stop letting everyone put Swiss ETA on their sale adds with no photo proof, and allowing them to put "Dealer stated".

Most aren't.

Now there's something I can get behind. Even with pics, if they aren't good you still couldn't tell. This is definitely something to look at.

Actually there are reps which are rare but in most of the occasions they are abusing by the term ¨rare¨

Yes Toro, I should have bought one when I had the chance :facepalm: Stupid, stupid me.

the term "grail" is a personal one. What is a grail to one man is a POS to the next so has no good reason to be in a sales thread at all. "Rare" is a lot less subjective and is well overused IMO just like "mint" is. DO those who refer to a watch as mint have any idea of the correct usage of the word? In most cases I think not.
