Yeh I think if I was buying something saucy I'd ony go dealer with good rep on chrono. When I bought from there I knew very little other than eeeew look at that I want it and the price is good lol. Fortunately I didn't get stung. Would still like to know if your sellers escrow payment was minus the service, it should have been.

I'll see can I find the thread on wus forum outlining the instance I'm mentioning. It was one of those car crash threads you can't stop reading.

This is where its between 2 private individuals, a dealer is obliged to take it back. And ultimately a seller will cave imo as they have no watch and no money

Deffo, made that point myself re dealer being safer. The two I've bought privately, were as new tagged and boxed. I'm not going all out macro looking for reasons to blow the transaction, in some instances (perhaps this one?) fellas seem to replace buyers regret with reason to find fault.

Anyway, here's the thread https://omegaforums.net/threads/arguing-with-private-seller-on-chrono24-advice-wanted.97131/page-6

In the end chrono only stepped in when their escrow funds were pinged by the cc company, only then they made a call which was very Swiss of them lol.

Please move if this is not the correct thread. Last night I clicked Buy on Chrono24. Just got an email saying offer was rejected. I never bought from Chrono24 so just wondering how things work. Should I have offered a higher price to the price the seller listed? Thanks

Just got this from an EU seller! "Ireland is outside EU and there are extra fees that have to be charged. That's the best I can do, I am sorry" when trying to purchase a watch on Chrono. I guessed a lot will think Ireland is affected by Brexit.
