I see SO many for sale posts that describe the watch as "rare", and I have always searched for the word that more accurately captures the reason you don't see many of that watch. Just now in a flash of sanity, I thought of the word I was looking for: " unpopular"!!

That's a good one Thomas but I always think of under cooked when I see these descriptions. The sellers have not thought through the process and with typical laziness, use the completely meaningless word 'rare' to describe pedestrian shit available to anyone.

Like describing a studio apartment as "cozy" instead of shoe box.

You folks know, there is the appropriate "rare" where only a few were made, or so many, many years have passed that most are gone. But then there is the situation where the watch is an ugly abomination, with no redeeming quirky or other qualities; and nobody will go near the overpriced, repulsive thing!! So, sure, it's rare alright, but for all the wrong reasons!! "Gosh, I haven't seen one of those in years. And I wish that was still true!" - Thomas .
