Chrono 24 price vs AD price for NIB w papers

GegeHughes

I am interested in the Vacheron Constantin Historique Triple Calender 1942 40mm Steel. A reputable dealer on chrono24 has the identical watch for almost $5,000 less. How is this possible? I have my suspicions. Just want insight from more experienced members. Thanks!

The listing dealer is out of Rhode Island, but the watch is presently in Iowa.

Keep in mind that you do have some protection with Chrono24, they keep the money in escrow for 2 weeks just in case anything goes wrong, and you can return it. Also the reviews of this seller on Chrono24 looks good, 2100 five star reviews. Good luck.

I expect to pull the trigger when I get my tax refund.

Not all VCs are in demand and depending on the dealer, $5k is $5k and Chrono has built in protection.

Is it a watch that's being sold on consignment? Pre owned but never worn?

No idea. If it was on consignment, I guess the paper work would be filed out?

Sometimes you blink and it's gone. It just happened to me! 😭😭

Couple questions:

  • How is it NIB? It’s a preowned watch. You mean to tell me it wasn’t worn? How do we know that?

  • When you say identical watch, do you mean the same model? Or literally the same watch?

Huh? 😕

Sound to me like it is on consignment. In which case it would be previously owned. If so, the price makes sence.
