Chrono24 Pepsi… Yes or No?
Can I get your experienced opinions on this GMT I’m thinking of buying on Chrono24? Any opinions are welcomed.

It’s impossible to tell with precision from these pictures, but this would be an Easy pass for me on a variety of factors. For example, I don’t like that the seller does not identify a date production when it’s very easy to identify what the serial number is. Secondly, it appears to have a replacement bezzle insert, because I believe the original should be Serif. Thirdly, I don’t like the description of little to know where, when I look at that bracelet, it’s a lot of stretch for an oyster, in my opinion. Next, I don’t like that it doesn’t have the original warranty certificate. Next, I don’t like that The description says no original box, and yet it comes with a box. You can, and should, do better than this. I would also recommend you limit your purchasing to trusted sellers on TRF.

No. Just no.
You are buying BLIND with little verifiable information. And I am no fan of C24 anyhoo.

Thank you for your insight. The lack is date felt off to me too. GGGMT, you think a same or better price can be had for a 16700?

Obviously depends on condition complete kit replacement parts etc. review the classifieds here. I see Several selling over past 3 months. Listed approximately 12-13.5 but they’re not selling there. And they’re from good sellers with originality etc. totally gettable watch. You might pay more like 12 ish but it’ll be from great seller and piece with integrity. I bought mine from an ad in Delaware in 1994! good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
