Chrono24
I was skeptical to buy a watch online without trying it on or seeing in person BUT I used this thing called the internet and bought a watch on Chron24 WTF.
it really was easy and the package already arrived two days later. Boom!
this could be a bad thing lol.

Have you used Chrono24 or another service to buy a watch? How was your experience?
technology is cool…..have you used Chrono24 or other services?
I was having so much anxiety to hit the BUY button.

I just use chrono24 for research on both references and market pricing. Never bought anything thru them tho.
Yep, a couple of times. You have to do your diligence on the seller of course but it's pretty great overall.
Nice roadster btw 😉
Congrats on the buy! Glad everything worked out!
I have bought almost all my watches through Chrono24 and have only bought a Faiko once. Which could have easily been avoided if I had just checked the ref, as no such model exist 😅 But it was cheap and I like the look, so no biggie.
I think if you don’t buy expensive watches on there you can’t go that wrong in using Chrono, but of course there is the risk of fakes. However, for most cases I think that you can buy a great watch and be fairly secure and with the ESCROW service you actually have time to verify the watch at a watch maker if you are uncertain about its authenticity and subsequently you can stop the release of your money until any disputes have been resolved.
Yep, been using them for a while and everything has been smooth sailing so far. It’s a good platform and I definitely recommend them. They have some good content on there as well and their YouTube channel is worth a look too.
Ive bought three watches online , One direct from Stowa in Germany , A watch from Ebay and one Sinn from the great dealer there Peter from Noosa in Australia . Never used Chrono 24 . I do actually like to try before I buy watches usually. If I start with Chrono24 , I will need to come out of retirement and get a job :)
Bought and sold there and made some great acquaintances.
little tip - if you see something on there you like from a dealer - google their username and 9 times out of 10 they will have their own website with the same listings a little cheaper (no chrono fees.)
I am glad the purchase went well, I love the roaster and hope that they bring it back with a modern twist.

Bought a couple new straps and deployment clasps and I’m havong a hard time taking it off.
Watch looks great. I have bought 2 watches from jomashop and one from eBay. No issues so far.
