I extremely dislike folks who asked for pictures and disappeared totally. I think it is despicable especially so if pic is posted with sale thread.

Bro pict are important as it cuts down time in meeting up and then in the end see already waste each other time
I will always ask for pict first and if I notice scratch and dings or feel uncomforatable I will pass... it saves time in some ways

Hmmm, you are right from that perspective. This brings us to the other topic - untruthful seller.
Frankly, if one posts a watch as mint, it jolly well be mint or close to that.
I had encountered 2 very untruthful sellers. One was a high profile Panerai dealer. The watches were far from the posted condition. I was close to posting both incidents on the web.

Say if you ask me "is there any dent on the watch?"
If I am a sincere seller and I do not wish to waste your time and mine, I should answer the question factually. Otherwise, it will be largely awkward when we finally meet up.

Beyond guarding an untruthful seller, seeing a watch in actual state tells you the real story. And once again, if a seller is untruthful, misrepresents his watch condition drastically and wilfully, and wastes a buyer's meet up time, I think that chap ought to be exposed.

That said, the ways we perceive a topic and an approach to an issue could be different. No worries about that.

to me most common weird question:
"Bro what's your best price?"
Weird because the next message is always: "I am not a low baller, but actually my budget is only $XXXX (always $500 below my "best price")"

after reading thru the comments I feel advertising ur watch for sale is baiting for idiots.

Heng ah luckily I didn't ask $500 below your best price

[dtctan]

U must be asking for $501, omg, that's worst right?
Haha, just joking.

I should have asked for $499.00 discount .. So how LPYEO give me a $499.00 discount on your Deepsea and I will deal with you ... I'm not a low baller hor
