There is a watch in Germany that I want to buy. Problem is the seller has 2 buying references but no selling ones. His foot print is pretty light. Not keen on wiring cash to Germany and crossing my fingers. Seller does not want paypal and frankly their exchange rates are horrid.....ideas?

Someone in the EU has an escrow service?

Are you buying from chrono 24 or just some random guy from the internet?

Run!

Gina Marie · 24 May 2018, 03:50 AM

followed him via IG. has about 300 followers. Nothing huge.

gt0279a · 24 May 2018, 04:27 AM

Personally, I would only send an international wire to a trusted seller.

Cheutc · 24 May 2018, 04:33 AM

i dont know, but this seems abit sketchy...

05carbondrz · 24 May 2018, 04:38 AM

If it feels sketchy...There is a good chance it is.

Kingface66 · 24 May 2018, 04:44 AM

Even if it feels a BIT sketchy, that should be more than enough to walk away. WAY too many factors involved that could easily lead to a huge regret.
Is the watch at hand super rare, or something? Surely, it can't be that great a deal.

Don’t know if I can help. Live in Denmark. Next to germany?

You're going to end up getting a deal you didn't bargain for. Not a chance.

Round trip flight sounds in order!

I come from Germany and know many guys here. If I can help you, I will do.
Name?

Chrono24 have an escrow service. Perhaps you can ask him to list there? I have a well-travelled dealer I’ve used for years in the UK. He can source, but also can help in a purchase. Is it a specific piece you’re after? Pm or email if you need help.

If you are uneasy about it you already have your answer
