I advertise all the time on Chrono24, have yet to buy or sell anything on there

Like anywhere else - do your reference checks and buy the seller

Amen!

A watch with papers does not make it legit.

I think the prices there are sometimes higher - and as all said here - make sure you have only the best sellers in your search filters.

I am still a patriotic supporter of the sellers in the Republic of TRF.

If you're going to buy online from a seller and the main TRF guys are so highly recommended, why wouldn't your check into them first?

Buying online is risky even if you know what you're doing. Are the pics actually pics of the watch you'll receive?

I would stick with trusted TRF sellers.

How much can one negotiate from a seller? Start at 10% less of asking price and go from there? Sorry if this is a silly question but I want to make sure not to offend anyone if I'm a new buyer looking at one of the TRF sellers. Thanks!

Their is no written in stone answer. Offer them what you feel comfortable paying
and see if the seller accepts.
