On sales: Should pics of the back be mandatory?

[MrZoSo]

Never mind the pics...How about these listings not specifying the movement. Listing it as "Asian"...Well duh...
I find this most annoying. Tell people exactly what you have. Stop the BS trying to sell a 80 dollar watch for 150 by not saying it's a quartz. If you can't be forthcoming the listing should be removed IMO. It's deception.

You're absolutely right! I hate it when they do that -

Movement: Asian O'RLY!?!?

Where did you get this watch from: Dealer (or just 'member') We already know that, they're asking you to specify WHO you DOLT

would it be nice to see a picture of the back, sure. but should it be mandatory? no.

next, you're gonna make it mandatory to take a movement picture for a closed case-back watch.

there are plenty of members that will provide extra photos of the watch upon request. if you think someone is trying to hide something, than move along to another watch from a more trusted member.

more details and better pics = faster sale for more money

Making the picture of the movement mandatory would be too much of a hassle, specially for people without proper tools to open the back, hence why they're asking you what type of movement does your watch have [refer to Mr.Sozo's post regarding that and the daft people who love to just say Asian without specifying further] taking pics of the back just requires you to flip the darn watch and snap a shot, that would take about 10 seconds, is that really sooooo hard to do?
