Chrono24 | Luxury Watch Market 4+

This site was recommended to me by someone, when I said it was difficult to source specific variants of different watches - you know the problem - some particular variants can take up to 12 weeks to get sent to a dealer in the UK. So low and behold, Chrono24 manage to make life for me (and you) a whole lot easier. The huge range of watches available - new and pre-owned - is absolutely staggering. I have just purchased a watch from a dealer outside the EU and it couldn’t have been simpler or safer - an escrow account so your money is safe makes you breathe a whole lot easier when you are regularly dropping five figure sums on pieces of horological excellence. If I was to find just one tiny thing to make the site even more excellent, then it would be to have an option to exclude certain males from the search - especially at the lower end of the selling prices on offer here. Apart from that? I won’t be using anything else to browse for my next watch purchase - whether it’s a Montblanc or a Blancpain...

I am thinking about buying a luxury watch and have been doing my research. I have narrowed it down to a few Rolex watches as I don’t want to throw my money away on something that devalues badly. Without learning every model and serial number I am never quite sure what constitutes a good or bad deal. I have an idea but not the confidence to go for it with what is a large sum of money, for me. This is where the chrono24 app comes in and then to find out it has the watch scanner that is accurate, reminds me of the specific serial number, and prompts my memory of my research in order to have a bit more confidence about what I should be paying for a specific model.
Brilliant!!!

Everyone who rated this five starts probably hasn’t used the messaging system. Unfortunately, my transaction on C24 was less than stellar, so I’ve made extensive use of the messaging system: it’s rubbish. 1. You can’t copy and paste. 2. You can only upload photos one by one, and there is no confirmation prompt. As soon as you tap on a photo, it is sent, so be careful what you tap on. You could quite easily send your private photos if you are not careful. And there’s no way to delete them once uploaded. 3 . Photos take ages to upload. After tapping on a photo, it literally takes 10 to 20 seconds before it appears on the screen. 4. Each time you leave the messaging screen, for example, because you have to check another app, you are taken back to the most recent message. This can be infuriating when you’ve spent ages scrolling to an earlier message. Obviously, C24 isn’t expecting customers to have problems when purchasing a watch. Unfortunately, I did. And the experience was made none the nicer with the apps terrible messaging system.
