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.

I heard about this website but haven't use it before. it's reliable?

Using fedex gdex ups door to door does it help to avoid gst?

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?

Please watch its YouTube. It's self explanatory.

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

I had pretty good experience buying with chrono24, watch condition is good and the price is competitive as well

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..

-
besides chrono, any other websites that is reliable or malaysian based with large inventory or a collection of multiple vendors?
-
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.

Yes, definitely will use paypal since they come with purchase protection.

i bought a couple of pieces from timepeaks. they source from local japan sellers and ship internationally. prices i got are competitive due to jpy and myr exchange rate

Timepeaks is it an auction style website?

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

yup. true but in some cases, by researching more on the seller, you would be able to find their company website, facebook and see more reviews from there... :)

Watch out...grey market..

are all these couriers safe to deliver watches? I was just asking a friend of mine the other day and they said that it can still be unsafe

as long as got insurance should be safe.

that platform as i know, is quite safe, but still there is scam in every platform.
yes, jus do a back ground check on the seller, if is a private seller, be sure to use paypal and reputable courier.
if is a company, just google the company name, and u can find their details and stuff there. u can drop them an email regarding the watch ure looking for..
bought one watch there USD4k, pay thru wire transfer as they dont have paypal, after doing a background check, they are a reputable and quite a big company for vintage watch..
anything purchase online can be a scam, jus be caution u should be good
-
I usually browse it for price reference, if I find one that I like, I’ll deal with the watch company directly, like Govberg or Watchbox.
-
safe ?don worry
-
Anyone bought watches online after 1st September 2018? I'm trying to figure out if we have to pay export duties and etc if we buy a watch from abroad.
-
Seller, and PayPal for securing.
-
So far I have only used Chrono24 for price reference. Might give it a go in the future
-
Go for seller with high rating. Checkout via Paypal in the event things turn south. Refund might be late, but it's better than empty handed. ;D

Hi. I know this old post :D But want to ask some opinion from you guys!
Got one watch that I really this website . It is brand new old stock. The price is interesting but the watch come only with original box, no warranty card. No manufacturer warranty. Just warranty from the seller. I'm worry about the authenticity and futher warranty. It could be reassamble or something as I start to wondering. Is it normal to brand new old stock watch got no more warranty from manufacturer?

I bought a watch through Chrono24 during the MCO and I got my watch as described. I communicated with the seller throughout the process until I received the watch. Paid through escrow with credit card. Smooth transaction. It was a trusted seller which also has a brick and mortar shop in Tokyo, Japan. But do your research (plenty on internet) checkseller ratings, is it private seller or company, trusted seller etc). Good luck

Many comments suggest chrono24 prices are about 20% above general market prices. Is it true?

It depends the watch models and status of the watch company. Some watches fire sales can get 50 - 60% off.

It's mostly overprice but sometime if you are lucky you could get a bargain l(ike I did). Last check with Chrono24 my watch is valued 20% higher of what i paid initially. :Laughing_on_floor:

Yes. Be prepared to pay 5% of the price you paid on Chrono24. If I am not mistaken the exchange rate for chrono is slightly higher than normal or there was a fee incurred for using their secure payment @Escrow service where they park your payment prior to you receiving the watch and only release it to the seller once you've received the item.

I bought 2 pieces in the past via chrono24, i think i can share a bit:
1. Chrono24 do offer escrow service, payment to chrono24 once u put order, payment go to chrono24 first, only when you received the watch as per advertise, you inform chrono24 for payment release to seller.
2. It mitigates scam for buyer as well as seller with their remittance service.
3. The buyer protection is a free service from chrono24: secured payment, insured shipping, dealer screening, authenticity guaranteed n etc.
4. They have "trusted checkout", where official receipt and certificate will be issued by chrono24 with watch spec to verify the watch authenticity.
5. I don't see many dealer or private seller in chrono24 accept paypal as chrono24 already offering their own escrow service with buyer protection. Paypal will add cost to seller that would pass back to buyer.
Hope the above helps, bought 2 GS in the past, both pawnshop and private seller in Japan. So far so good and all msg via chrono24 are captured, just remember NOT to accept the deal outside the system.

Just sharing my experience,
1. I found a watch that i liked in chrono24 before MCO started.
2. Did some homework on the seller through the internet (rolexforum, watchuseek etc). The seller has its own website and sell the same watch in it.
3. Once felt comfortable after the "homework", contacted the dealer via email and obtained more info on the watch. Managed to get further discount on the watch too.
4. Again, felt more comfortable after that, agreed on the invoice and made payment via Paypal. Insisted shipment to be done via DHL and asked for lower value of the timepiece when doing the shipment so that the custom tax charged is lower.
5. After payment made, watch was the dispatched from its origin which was in UK.
6. The next day, DHL malaysia called me to let me know the custom taxes needed to pay and i duly paid after that.
7. 2 days after the watch was dispatched, voila, the watch reached to my office place.
All this processes were done without going through chrono24 and the whole thing took exactly 3 days. I knew there was a risk and I took it. However, the cost of the watch is around 3k poundish though.

Thanks for sharing the process :Cheers:
