[Question] Do you consider a watch from display to be brand new? (alien.top)

I personally struggle to accept the idea that a watch that was tried on tens or hundreds of times to be new even if there are no scratches or whatever.

I would also expect to get a discount on it. what is your opinion/experience? am I being unreasonable?

I almost never buy watches new. Not only because I like to hunt, I just have no emotional attachment to the idea that “nobody has ever held this XYZ” before. I really don’t understand the attraction in the slightest. If condition is new, and it has a warranty from the mfgr, it’s new.
