Re: Having Some Problems With Alex - A-P-E *LINK*

Agreed, Stewart. I haven't posted much on here but I'm well-known elsewhere, and that's always been my policy.

As for the terms "NOS" and "mint", the former is always going to be difficult to establish, but I don't see a requirement for a watch to be stickered (and I've had a "NOS" watch with storage marks on the case); the latter is a descriptive - and self-explanatory - term and in my opinion it's too often used loosely and unwisely.

For what it's worth, there's another term that I believe is more important than both of these, and that's "honestly". If we all act with that, there should be very few problems.
