Chrono24 Buyer Protection: What's Included

Payment via the Escrow Service

Thanks to the Chrono24 Escrow Service, your payment is fully covered. We keep your money in our escrow account for 14 days after delivery of your watch. Thus, you have time to carefully inspect your order knowing your money is safe in our account. Only then do we transfer payout to the dealer.

Commitment to Authenticity

Our promise: Every new and used watch on Chrono24 is authentic. Our dealers are required to inspect each watch's authenticity and may only list original timepieces. However, should issues arise, you have 14 days upon delivery of your order to contact our support team and get your money back.

Strict dealer guidelines

In the interest of security, dealers on our marketplace must follow a strict set of rules. Before a professional dealer can sell on our platform, they must provide us with their photo ID, commercial register entry, business address, and tax number. Furthermore, we require all dealers to follow our strict dealer guidelines. Authentic customer reviews also provide insights into the respective dealer's services, so you can always be sure who you're buying from.

Insured shipments

Dealers ship every order with full insurance coverage. In rare case of unsuccessful delivery, your shipment would be fully insured, so you can make both domestic and international purchases risk-free.
