how safe is selling on chrono24 as a person, no company?
How safe is it to sell your watch on chrono24 if you do not have a watch trading company? Anyone experiences? I am thinking about selling my submariner 114060 there however i have heard some horror stories in the past like: Receivers that claim they received a empty box, wrong watch etc etc.. How to avoid all those things without crazy actions as walking around with a go pro on my head? Anyone some tips, experiences?

I think your question gives you your answer?
I can be done on chrono with diligence but in most cases you are relying on the ethics of strangers. Are there other safer sales platforms?

I am unsure.. It states that it is like ''safe'' however, i can see many opportunities for potential scammers.. But i am unsure, maybe they have some safe system thought out..? Anyone experiences with it???

I’ve always thought what happens if one party says they received a bag of sugar instead of the €20k watch, how will C24 discredit one and side with the other?
Their escrow service is only for funds and not the watch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would sell to a trusted seller here. I would think you would get about the same money and with a no hassle safe transaction.

As with any stranger selling/buying site, and even with the escrow things, it still depends on if both parties are honest.
I've bought 5 watches on chrono with no issues. 2-3 individuals, and a couple were companies in London and Portugal. So it works but it's still a crapshoot.

Oke clear, so it is like i thought.. One of the two parties has to be not ''ok'' and you can have a heck of a problem.. I will sell it to a grey one))

I have sold and bought from C24, no problem, using escrow secure should give you peace of mind.
But as with all the sites probably there can be frauds also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I tried selling a Rolex 6084 on Chrono 24 and all I received were low ball offers from Europe and the middle east. I got tired of the hassle and pulled the ad after about a year.
I was confident in the process and every time I had to call customer service, they were always very helpful and nice. Just my .02 |
