Chrono24

[996nick]

I am looking to make a new purchase, and the item I am looking for is advertised on the above, and specifically on a seller called "Rolextime", based in France. They only give a phone number, no detailed address, and a google search has come up with nothing.

The prices look very competitive, in fact so much so I am wondering whether it is too good to be true (I am only to conscious of the old adage of it looks like it, it probably is!), however, I am struggling to walk away!

Has anyone had any dealings with this seller? Would welcome any comments at all, by PM if ness.

Thanks

Which watch are you after Nick?

This one? A GMTII-C at $3295 or c£2600...

http://www.chrono24.com/en/dealer/rolextime/liste....

The UK list price for this popular watch is £4360, I think a 40% discount would be very generous*....
The other fine, vintage pieces (all perfect with box & papers) are also very,very generously* priced...

Perhaps a day-trip to Boulogne is on the cards..

• The words 'generous' and 'generously' are to be taken with a pinch of salt, and are 'tongue in cheek'.

Surprising - I'd found European Chrono24 prices to be quite high with the change in the exchange rates over the past year or so, certainly worth a visit if it's pucker gen. maybe short of buyers on the continent?
Shout up if you need two more wrists to get them back 'Flash Harry' style

If this guy is genuine, I'll call Lord Loucan to see if I can borrow Shergar to ride down and collect...

A new IWC BP for c£2800? A 67% discount on an £8500 'must have' IWC?

More BS than BP.......

Thanks for taking the time to reply chaps, much appreciated. I saw the IWC BP as well, and, even though I wasnt after this or a Rolex, I was having happy thoughts for a while. However, its clear thats another reason to be surprised at the "generosity" of the deals on offer. I shall have to keeping hunting for the grail!
