How did you enter negotiations? Did you just email with an offer?
Yes, just used the email contact form on C24 and most reply within 24hrs.I usually ask for some additional images of the watch and make my offer in their currency and it usually goes...
Watch up for €5000
I offer €4000
They counter offer with a lowest price of €4750
I offer €4300 and can proceed immediately
They come back with €4450 delivered securely to U.K.
Everyone's happy.
I think the best I got was with a brand new solid gold Rolex that was just under 40% less than the cheapest one in the U.K. from an Italian Rolex AD.
The exchange rate seems to have scuppered such bargains now but high end jewellery still isn't shifting that quickly in some eurozone countries so bargains can be had. My mate just got a mint Exploer II with full set for €4000 delivered, which as far as I can tell is at least £500 less than the cheapest one in the U.K. for the same age.

You should definitely barter. Chrono24 is just an advertising service, nothing more.
Be wary of Chrono24's use of the word "trusted".

PH pedantry - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barter - what you'll be doing is haggling or bargaining.
Wouldn't be a PH post without pedantry 
The watch I want has a delivery time of 6 to 10 days - would this cause alarm?
This is the seller: https://www.uhrinstinkt.de/
I have found this on another site;
They appear to have a good rating on https://www.ekomi.de/bewertungen-uhrinstinkt.html and appear to have sold a fair few watches on Chrono24.
Would you be put off by this?
