Selling my watch on chrono24- scam

[andibrook]

Quick question for people that have used chrono24.

Ive just put my IWC for sale on chrono24 and within 30minutes ive had an email from a guy in Switzerland saying he's been looking for the watch for ages and he's going to fly over next week.
I know we get it all the time when buying cars but just wondering if many people have been caught out on chrono24?
Scam or no scam?!?! Just seems too perfect really.

Well as i'll be booted off here for advertising a watch, I thought i'd probably get arrested for racism, as im sure someone will moan!!!!

Is the guy coming with cash?

Rather than start a new C24 thread, I just wondered when placing a private ad; the last 2 pics usually request time to be set specifically to "prove" ownership,

Which does not seem entirely comprehensive to me, suffice to say something has caught my eye, and neither of the two pics is set corectly, which is annoying, as it implies a scam from the off, but I am left wondering if it's genuine and the process is just not that easy to follow or obvious.


Should I just accept the obvious and move on? it's reasonably priced, but not so keen as to be suspicious. Seller's details are not disclosed. Alarm bells I appreciate...
