How to have a safe transaction and verify authenticity?

[aduong]

Hi all,

I am arranging to meet a seller to purchase via chrono24 It to help save Some fee make a deal. Meet him at a chase bank where I will see the watch and inspect and Authenticate the patek 7234 prior to payment.

Once okay. I would wire the funds and exchange.

Any ideas on a safer way? And how do I authenticate it? I can wear mine to compare craftsmanship and finish? I am having trouble retaining or finding someone that can do that on a Tuesday in Las Vegas chase bank branch.


Any ideas?

The watch is not at a too hard to believe price.

Thoughts and advice is appreciated

Maybe try the Watches of Switzerland(Patek AD) store here?

It’s in the Wynn hotel. Lisa would probably be the one to talk to if you want to try.

Or there is a Patek Boutique here also.

Ask for the movement and case numbers. Also ask for a picture of the movement showing the number as well as the certificate of origin. Then verify the numbers with HSWA.

Above all else, but the seller.
