The seller is very important. Also using PayPal to pay is more safe.

And remember to insist to use DHL, UPS, or FedEx to courier the watch.

No. Period. Once here its sent for tafsiran and you will receive and email or notice from courier company with the GST invoice.

Pay pal should be able to Hold the payment until the watch is received?

Here is the real example, I will not accept the offer till the private seller has fixed the Escrow service payment option on Chrono24.

Does this means Malaysia is unable to benefit from escrow payment ? or the seller is trying something fishy ?

Im eyeing on a JLC on c24 as well..

Well, I think most international watches value higher than Malaysia's market value, not to mention 6% gst clearance from customs.

I found some good deals on chrono24 too but they are from eastern europe countries, not sure whether can I trust them or not. I think sellers from USA and Japan are more trust worthy.

Do the due diligence before committing any online purchase, payment method in paypal is one of the way to protect buyer.

Haven’t try before but prices on chrono24 seems quite high compare to other platforms. But they have the widest varieties. Possible get locally more safe.

I was looking for some watches on chrono24 so maybe I could share what I learnt so far...
1. Chrono24 is like a platform for anyone to advertise watches. To avoid scam, chrono24 would ask for the seller to post watch showing a specific time (like 3 o'clock).
2. Do some research on the seller on chrono24 before buying. However, you can see that not many would leave feedback...
3. Use reputable courier that provides tracking (FedEx). Sometimes you would need to pay for express but it's worth it
4. If the prices are way below market price, be careful and proceed with much concern
5. Insist on pictures of the warranty card (if not shown) before making any transaction
