Chrono 24 Experience
Has anyone purchased a watch through Chrono 24? Curious to get a few reviews and comments. Are they reputable? Is the escrow payment service legit? Particular watch is in Greece, do I need to worry about duty, VAT fees or other expenses relative to bringing it into the US? I'm a little hesitant about purchasing through them but they have some good prices. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

It's a risk like anything else. There are some trusted sellers on there, and I have bought from them before from a reputable seller in HK.
My advice is to invest a little more $$ and buy from one of the great sellers on here. Paying for peace of mind in an investment in an of itself. |

Bought several watches there after contacting them by phone and discussing for a good deal. Great experience. You can also choose protected payment through the website.

One marketplace is like any other - trust is only as deep as the seller's long term reputation.
The same people who sell on Chrono24 can also list here or on eBay or Amazon - so consider the seller's reputation as tablestakes. Don't let the price attract you to any seller without a long track record. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bought a couple high end watches through chrono24 and made some great deals.
Listen to what others tell you, do your homework and investigate the seller. If you aint 110% sure: hands off. I am personally hesitant to purchase from Italy, Greece, Spain if I cant go in person and if I cant get enough guarantees about the authenticity. That is not to say there is anything wrong with those countries, but my personal experience has detemined that to the best/safest course of action for me. |

I have done 3-4 transactions via them but I only deal or entertain certified dealers w the green check an if they are willing to do the 3rd party deal w Chrono24 middleman the deal u are safe in my opinion. I try to stay in my country also as that avoids any tariffs or customs bs . All things considered if you research the dealer and use common sense and don't jump on the best deal in a 3rd world country to save 129$ u should be ok buddy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
