I’ve bought 3 times and sold once on Chrono24.
No problems at all and very smooth. Can be a bit slow waiting for escrow to process but provides good perceived comfort. |

Personally....no. But I would use it to find a watch and then go see it in person.

Chrono24 is a great reference point. Definitely do look around at a lot of different locations on the internet. There are often times you can do better through other retailers. All depending of course on what you’re looking to buy.

i bought a few items on Chrono24 as well but have never sold one. no problem at all. you may want to check the price and compare with other sites before you ahead. at the end, depend on seller, you may suggest your price to them.

I am interested in a vintage Rolex, i recently bought a vintage Tudor and LOVE the 34mm size so am looking for an OP, Air-King, etc. It seems the prices range from £1400 to £3000+ (which i am not paying) and my local jewellers had an Air-King for £2225, which seems reasonable when compared with chrono24.

Well you can also go with EU sellers as there is no import or VAT tax between UK and EU, I have an excellent one, Rivierawatch, I bought many watches from them, and they sold my Rolexes and Pams when I grew tired of big heavy watches, the owner became a friend and is great to deal with, I vouch for them totally, if you are interested PM me I can give you his number and email.
Of course you sell for more by selling yourself than if you sell to a jewelers, the one I am talking about is pretty reasonable commission wise, I think he takes about 10% on the sales price if you leave him the watch for selling it, before it was 7% but not anymore, and he can either buy it directly for a certain price if it is an in demand piece, or you leave it to him to sell it, which is more interesting financially |

I purchased maybe 5 watches from Chrono 24, from different dealers in different countries, France, Germany, Italy, and the transactions went very smoothly, no complaint whatsoever... |

They will be included. Many of the sellers will have shops where you can see the watches. Do your research and you’ll find some good sellers. Ebay can help, again as many sellers have actual businesses.

I have been going on their websites as well, but sometimes watches listed on chrono24 are not listed on their websites. As for visiting the shops, i live in Cornwall and all the shops are usually the other end of the country.

Ultimately you need to price competitively to gain interest over other trusted sellers’ prices. I’m trying to focus my collection on a few important and meaningful pieces so will use Chrono24 again to sell 2 more shortly. |

chrono24 is specialized in watches so a good place to shop around. problem is there is no expiry date for listing so sometime you may find watches that were listed years ago.... especially from private sellers. |
