Chrono24 represents an excellent methodology to seek horological time pieces, parts and accessories, and the ability to safely purchase with confidence.

Great watch information
December 28, 2019

I find the website very useful for finding information about watches, It's my first stop when considering a watch purchase. Their newsletter is also useful and informative. I have now purchased two watches via Chrono24 and am pleased with both.

Website difficulty
December 25, 2019

I had some difficulty navigating your website, this is not meant to be an indictment of the website it's just that I'm an older guy and I am not that computer literate. It does appear to be well organized and after buying two watches I do feel a bit more comfortable with it now so my problem was more me than you.It would be nice if your phone number was available so I can speak directly to someone when I'm having difficulty says these are 20 $30,000 purchases I'm gonna make sure I don't screw it up in the future

Exceptional transaction

This was my first time buying a timepiece from Chrono24 and it couldn't have been easier. I'm extremely satisfied with not only my gorgeous Grand Seiko but also the level of service I received.

I went into Chrono24 skeptical, fully aware of horror stories of other "gray market" purchases. Like any type of market, however, Chrono24 is only as good as its sellers, and my own experience was positive.
Chrono24, for its part, made me feel a bit assured in its checkout process. When you select the watch, it waits for confirmation from the seller first before asking for payment information, and then holds the payment in escrow until the buyer confirms the product has been received. This meant that the seller would not get my money until I have the watch in my hand and I can confirm it's the same one I ordered. Great system!
But with any of these gray markets, you got to be smart and understand your risk each time. Can you trust the seller, how prolific is the watch you want (i. E. what are the chances that it will be fake), does the price match the value, and how much are you willing to spend on possible additional costs (i. E. international duties, watch servicing, etc.).
For me, everything lined up. The seller had a lot of good reviews and communicated with me, the watch I got was extremely unlikely to be a fake, and the seller was domestic which meant no overseas costs. The watch arrived on time, it worked, and I'm in love.
While I don't think I would buy, lets say, a Rolex Submariner from Chrono (or any gray market dealer for that matter), I'm definitely willing to give this site another try for future purchases.

I would not recommend this site for the luxury watch purchase.
Red flags: if you are the buyer then you can not cancel your purchase or get your money back if seller for example said that he shipped the watch but you never received it or it got stuck on custom in case of international shipment. Chrono24 says they dont provide any assistance between buyer and seller or any control. Seller can put any bogus fedex tracking number and ship watch to himself and sign for it and your money will be gone. And Chrono24 has no control over that. One more red flag - they dont comply with any customs regulations - for example CITES - which means if for example a leather strap is made of some endangered animal then it could be confiscated by customs but Chrono24 will not take any responsibility there. Avoid or you are risking to lose your money or watch!

Dear Max,

Thank you for your order and feedback. All transactions on Chrono24 are non-binding up until the point of the item being shipped. At any time before shipment, a buyer can contact Chrono24 to have a transaction canceled. Once the watch has shipped, we are not longer able to cancel a transaction since it will then be in transit to the buyer. If an item is shipped and delivered but the buyer has not received the parcel, that buyer would want to contact Chrono24 in regards to this issue to make sure the funds are held in the escrow account until a resolution is found. Please feel free to contact us directly with your transaction ID number via email at [email protected] or by phone at 646-887-3560. We look forward to hearing from you so we can make sure you ultimately have a positive experience on Chrono24.

Kind Regards,
Your Chrono24 Team

Great purchase
December 3, 2019

I was a bit skeptic about buying a $9k watch here but, after doing some research, I found that dealers who post real pictures (not stock) are more likely to be legit. Then the trusted check out gave me a bit more confidence and finally my dealer offered a 15 day return policy. All that have me the peace of mind I needed to go ahead with the purchase. I'm very pleased with the results because I was tired of waiting for the AD to call me with a watch option I liked.

The ability to have access to watches around the world is great. Additionally, my transactions have been great thus far. The other features such as the watchbox and notepad have been great.

Great shopping service.
November 7, 2019

Great place to shop for watches under a secure situation. However, the valuation of your collection is almost useless. I would about 30-40% of my watches they would either have no value for or just copied the original purchase price.

The entire process was quick and easy and I received the watch of my dreams in a little over two days. I will most certainly use Chrono24 again, and will recommend it to all my friends. Thank you!

I couldn't be happier with my dealings with Chono24 throughout my purchase through one of the dealers on the site. I had to get on the phone with customer service and the communication and help they were able to provide was fast and efficient.
