LNIB and BNIB

[Driver2233]

Hi All,

I am very new to this forum. I dont quite understand the meaning of the above. Can someone please enlighten me. Thanks and have a nice weekend.

No worries...we are all learning

Sorry to have to say this but as much as you may be new, there is still the SEARCH function that you can use. Look here:

Abbreviations

[Driver2233]

ok Thanks. I tried using the search function before. Not very intuitive, it seems. Thanks anyway.

[triton]

what you mean by not intuitive

[cokiee]

The abbreviations mean 'Like New In Box' and 'Brand New In Box'. But, as i have very quickly learnt through reading the posts here, the exact nuances are rather debatable. Like, would you consider a watch claimed to be totally new and unworn but sold by a private seller (as opposed to an authorised dealer) as BNIB? (:

[Oceanklassik]

This one, again, has been hotly debated previously. There are some threads/posts in the forum that have these information. It's ok if you still want to talk about it here.

okay i'll admit it, its my bad i shouldn't have brought it up

I tried to search for the meaning of LNIB and BNIB but was only shown posts of LNIB and BNIB. I tried to look for it in FAQ, but sadly unable to find anything useful too.

When in doubt ask google.

The FAQ thread was right at the bottom of the page. There is also a FAQ link at the top. In there, I cannot find anything useful. Can someone please suggest having the FAQ thread right at the top instead?
