A Much Needed Marketplace
November 9, 2022

Like many watch enthusiasts, I was having trouble getting a Rolex from an AD. I decided to buy a Daytona through Chrono24 since I would likely never get one from an AD no matter how long I waited.

It is great to have a marketplace where members can sort by price and choose to only buy from a local market. This creates competition among sellers especially when buying an unworn watch as there should be essentially no difference besides price.

I was relatively confident in the purchase due to the escrow service, authenticity guarantee and strict monitoring of dealers. Of course I still had some anxiety around making a purchase of that size through an intermediary that was new to me and with a dealer that was also new to me. I am happy to say that everything went well. They go a step beyond just escrowing the funds and actually asked for pictures of my ID and credit card. This process took less than 24 hours and made me feel good about their diligence, which likely is even more significant for dealers.

Since luxury watches are considered part of net worth and I routinely apply for real estate financing, I appreciate that the platform helps members track value. This will help me next time I need to generate a Personal Financial Statement and would also help me liquidate if that was ever the best option.

Thanks, Chrono24!

Expensive return costs
November 9, 2022

My $400 timepiece costs $300 to return. Much too costly. Seller excellent for correspondence; product delivered as described and promptly. No problem with Chrono24 other than return fees.
Buyer beware- it clearly states the possibility of high return cost... I didn't see it until I wanted to return item. My error!

3 Watches In, No Concerns
November 8, 2022

After 3 watch purchases on this platform, I'm getting more confident in the diligence Chrono24 puts into vetting dealers and their merchandise. I've had nothing but great experiences with the dealers, and any questions I had on using the platform were well answered by the team. I would recommend that anyone looking to purchase a watch online, be it new or used, consider Chrono24.

EASY
November 8, 2022

The process of finding my first Rolex was fun and I'm a little sad it's complete. Easy and fun to scroll through Chrono24. A great variety and I'm looking forward to my next opportunity to purchase another watch.

Sellers beware!

I have sold many watches on Chrono24 as a private seller, but the last transaction from October 2022 has been a nightmare. With my account in good standing, the same bank account info, and a happy buyer who gladly authorized payout, they are claiming they are having "errors" sending my payout of approx. US$2,600.

I have lost all faith in the platform and removed all other listings. Beware private sellers, they will provide only generic, canned email updates when requesting help with the matter, and their phone support (Angela) couldn't care less about working with you to get you paid, insisting they can only pay via wire transfer and refusing to provide alternatives.

I am now out of the watch and the funds. A very sad turn of events for what was once a great company.

Overall good experience. Great variety. Love the price suggestion option. Price was great. Accuracy of the condition on the piece was not. I had to do the mediation with the dealer myself. Shouldn't have to pay extra if using American Express, I buy at other sites and never had to pay extra.
