[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 9832043, member: 51"]This watch is about 20 years old, just found another sold on Ebay at $150, so planning to list this one. It was a friend's watch and I'm selling it for her. It's in very nice condition overall, fully working etc. The only real issue (and this is what I need help with the wording) is that the band has some "dirty areas". Fairly faint, but cleaning does nothing so feel the buyer is just going to have to live with them. This only on the band. I'm one to describe everything I see in an Ebay auction. Can someone think of better or more polished sounding wording than "dirty spots"? "Some discoloration" isn't really correct, makes it sound like fading. And "show's use" implies something a bit different. It's not a huge issue as you can see from photos below, but feel I need to lightly mention it. Ideas for wording?
