Chrono24 | Luxury Watch Market 4+

I’m a poor man when it comes to buying the luxury watch brands however I enjoy learning more about watches from a financial perspective. I am a self taught watchmaker, meaning I get the respect from my local Jewelry store watchmaker and I know enough to make me dangerous lol. But I bid on old vintage watches from eBay and enjoy it when I can make it run again. Im 62 years old and I’ve worn a watch since I was a kid. I appreciate Chrono24 and the opportunity for discovering new things that I didn’t know about. Thank you for all the content you provide. I finally have figured out a way to become a watch trader. And your site has allowed me to get into the luxury watch market one traded or sold watch at a time. Your site has allowed me as a poorman to finally wear a Rolex Explorer, Omega 300M, IWC portifino and a Glashutte original senator excellence. Thank you Chrono24.
Ps. As a poorman it’s one watch or sometimes two watches that eventually get traded for a one watch deal. I wish I was a collector but I’ll take my watch enjoyment anyway I can get it.

This was an excellent transaction. I made an offer, the price was agreed upon promptly, I paid and watch was shipped the next day. I had the watch within 48 hours of starting the process and without spending any time on the phone. The watch arrived completely as described - used and VG condition with some light signs of wear. I had to get a loupe out to see any blemishes on the case and even then, very minor. The dial is flawless and beautiful as expected. Spring drive keeping superb time as advertised and power reserve was spot on as advertised. This was my first Chrono 24 purchase. I was a little nervous, but it turned out to be an exceptional process.

Please be aware that this platform is operated heavily in favor of dealers. I purchased a watch from a “Professional Dealer”, ML Supply Co, and although the watch described as coming with a “complete set”, it didn’t come with the manufacturer’s complimentary fabric strap. Although the dealer allowed me to return the watch for a refund, he sent me a return address that was different from the original address. Chrono24’s website states that the buyer should contact them if the return address is different (there are risks in sending it to the wrong address), but Chrono24 never responded to my email. I asked the dealer to change the address to the original but he didn’t change it, so I decided to keep the watch. When I tried to write a negative review for the dealer regarding this buying process, Chrono24 didn’t allow the posting of my review. They didn’t notify me about not allowing my review, and I had to call them to figure out why. I later received an email response stating that my review didn’t meet their guidelines without any explanation of how it didn’t meet their guidelines. To this day, I still don’t know why my review was not reflected in ML Supply Co’s overall rating.
