How to sell a Rolex as a private seller?

I have a submariner and was thinking of selling it.

What would be the best way to sell it? I see private sellers on chrono24 but how do you prove your watch is real?

Local grey market dealer and in person

For Chrono24 you have und to take pictures of the watch with different times set. That way they check that you have the real watch.

as a buyer you have to confirm that you received the watch and than the seller gets the money.

My friend was saying that sellers on chrono24 are much less protected than buyers and that for example a seller had sent a rolex to someone and the person claimed they didn't receive the watch and chrono24 sided with the buyer. So the seller ended up with no watch and no money.

Maybe talk to a grey dealer. Obviously you'll get more selling it independently, but you'll have to take on the risk of potentially dealing with a fraudulent buyer. I personally wouldn't chance it, I would sell to a grey dealer.

Of course. That’s how it should be. It’s the sellers responsibility that the buyer gets what he paid for.
