they dont sell watches, just an advertising forum for dealers and private individuals. As always buy the seller and I would not deal overseas without going in person to buy the watch. This applies anywhere not just chrono24. A lot of dealers have bricks and mortar shops and use the site so sell to wider audiences. However always have your eyes open. Private sellers have to list photos withe pre set times created when the listing is set up to confirm they are in posession of the watch.

Ultimately I was afraid to pull the trigger, but I definitely liked that feature.

it certainly helps, however the final deal would have to be face to face for me. I see a lot of watches for sale in Europe which would only be 2 hours away by plane. If the price allows the travel costs and still be getting a good deal, it wouldnt bother me flying.

Lets not forget the great sellers on here. A lot of guys are based in CONUS so you wont have any customs issues.

Lots unless the seller has knowledge and experience exporting Rolexes to USA.

You are better off on TRF with Trusted Sellers who have deep references.
