Actually, it depends on the morals.






Buying a fake , walking into an AD with it on, and then pretending not to know its genesis.

I have not contacted the dealer I bought from.

I looked at everything on the outside of watch with a magnifying glass.
It looked flawless to me. I had no way to look at the movement.

I have, after the fact, gone to website reviews of Chrono24.....should have done that before bought. I have no on to blame but me. But, I had the “hots”
For the watch.

Do you have any suggestions?

A 73 year old Fool.
Chrono24 is used quite a bit for buying watches. It has many different sellers on it. It has a very high rating as a good source for watches. To me it seems like it could be on the pricey side of the gray market.

I'm curious how you paid. If by CC then I'd expect even after the Chrono24 time period was through that the money could still be retrieved in the event of fraud.

The question is, why are you so nervous? Is it just the anxiety of not knowing? I guess this is part of the price for going though a gray instead of an AD.

In the mean time just breath. It will all workout in the end.

Welcome to TRF.
