Hi Guys. I've been looking for a Chronomatic, however, as I understand it they're discontinued, so my best chance is the second hand market. Being an expensive watch I'm a little worried about eBay and the likes, so wondered if anyone had some useful advice for buying second hand watches? Thank you. |

eBay is still the biggest market, just check in the replica section here before committing. You can also try all of the forums, including posting a WTB, and Chrono24. |

It would help if you gave your location - I could give you a couple of recommendations for s/h in the UK, for example, but that might not be any use. |

Sorry, I'm in the UK, down on the south coast. |

Ah, well Watchfinder is well known - http://www.watchfinder.co.uk/ - not cheap, but you know they're genuine and they'll listen to offers. Blowers have a very good reputation, with good stock and pics: http://www.blowers-jewellers.co.uk/ They're the two obvious online s/h dealers. As well as eBay there's also of course Chrono24: http://www.chrono24.com/ - which you can filter to exclude non-UK items. And although they're ADs specialising in new, it's always worth dropping a line to the two excellent UK-based forum sponsors: http://www.andrewmichaels.co.uk/ & http://www.bankslyon.co.uk/ Ricardo from AMJ and Aziza from Banks Lyon both post on here; I've dealt with both; and both are simply superb. |
