    Hi im currently trying to buy a watch on chrono 24 and its up for a couple 200 less than most because the rest are shops.

    This is a private seller and hes a new private seller on their to obviously not a weird thing, but just wanted to ask some of you guys. have you had any issues with the escrow service on chrono 24? and is there anyway i could confirm the watch is all good when i get it in post? ie shops closed per covid 19!

    any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks :)

    What’s the watch?


    I would wait. Delivery is a nightmare. Getting it checked is a nightmare. Prices have downward pressure.

    Lot of places wont verify breitling as they use generic movements which are easy to put in bogus watches. It will almost impossible to verify it at the moment even if you could find a place.

    I have to say I would be cautious. It is likely fine, but for 200 euro I would rather be dealing with a retailer that has an ongoing business that would not like bad feedback. You are also going to be worried its a fake, and you will end up spending more than 200 to get it properly checked and serviced to find out.

    agree 200 is peanuts between shop and private seller. Private guy is overpriced.

    Looks like an ok deal but I would run a mile from brand new private seller from Poland.

    Good decision. That watch is in absolute rag order as well, looks like it was used to hammer in nails. A good polish on a complex watch like that is easy 200 euro.

    I had a message written up saying how bet up it was but felt bad in case the Op bought it seeing that it was reserved so deleted :-) but yeah, that watch was in brutal condition.

    In terms of Chrono24 trusted checkout, I'm in two minds on it. I bought a new Breitling earlier this year from it which was my first chrono experience. As soon as the package tracking is marked as delivered the money transfers to the sellers account. This means in theory they could post you a Daniel Wellington just for the craic and still get paid. I can see why that happens from a seller protection point of view but it would make me wary of a private sale. If you are buying from an actual dealer with physical location I think that it works pretty well.
