May be a watch that is in NIB condition but not accompanied by the factory box(es) or documentation. Working perfectly, keeping excellent time, needs nothing.

Strap shows light use - may be bent or lightly creased, but not stained. The watch is working perfectly, keeping very good time and needs nothing.

Evidence of use is visible to the unaided eye. Scratches are light, but more numerous than "near mint". If the watch has been restored, all original replacement parts have been used.

Strap clearly used but no stains. No dents or dings are detectable, and the bracelet has little wear. Working perfectly, needs no repair or service. The watch shows what might be considered normal wear by a careful owner who wore the watch regularly.

Scratches are evident, but no nicks or dings. May have replacement parts and/or a high quality redial. Running and keeping good time, though may need minor regulation. A sound, attractive presentation overall.

Nothing fundamentally wrong with the watch, though it has quite obviously been used. Running and wearable, but may gain or lose a few minutes over 24 hours.

Case may show a few dings, nicks, or deep scratches. May have a redial that is not up to high standards. May not have all original parts.
