It is no secret that online shopping has become very popular now. For luxury watches, Chrono24 is a platform that has gained a lot of popularity in the past ten years. However, for some, it may still be a bit insecure to buy from this platform. So, what does Chrono24 really offer?
Anything new, used or vintage
One of the best things about Chrono24 is that you can almost find anything there. Any model from any brand, either new or used, can be found on Chrono24. Information and prices are very transparent there for you to compare. You can enjoy a good search easily in the watch world for anything from Rolex to Seiko or Patek Philippe to G-shock. Any individuals or dealers can buy and sell on this platform making it one of the best online watch platforms in the world

After you have found something you want, you may wonder : “Is it safe to buy?” Chrono24’s “Trusted Checkout” can make you rest assured. Your payment is actually kept by an escrow account of Chrono24. After you receive the watch from the seller, you will have 7 days to inspect it and only if everything is fine will your money be released to the seller. If anything is wrong, you can contact Chrono24 for a solution.

With just one photo, you can scan your watch and get all the information including the specs and prices of it. It is easy and convenient. Just download the Chrono24 app and launch the watch scanner feature to start your journey in the watch world.
What is good to buy?
For investment or personal wear, Rolex has been a very popular choices for a long time especially in the last couple years. The pandemic has made production numbers drop and prices of Rolex watches have soared a lot. Not many watches are available in boutiques due to low production numbers and it is a safer option to buy them online due to the pandemic. I would recommend the Daytona collection and the Submariner “Hulk”.
The 116500 ceramic Daytona is a very good choice for investment or personal wear. The Daytona has very rich history associated with racing and it has been a very sought-after model for a long time. The 116500 ranges from 230,000hkd to 300,000hkd now depending on the dial colour and condition. The white dial “Panda” is more popular than the black dial version at the moment given its stronger visual contrast and its reminder of vintage Daytona like the 6263 and 6265.
The discontinued 116520 is another good model to buy if you prefer polished steel bezels. The black dial version used to be more popular while the white dial version has caught up in value due to the popularity of the white 116500. I would recommend buying either the first batch P series or the last batch 116520 from 7/2015- end of production in 2016. The P series white dial version have dials that will turn into a creamy hue and these dials are referred to as “Panna” dial. These “Panna” 116520 can fetch very high prices in auctions. The last batch of the 116520 features polished center parts on the buckle and these were produced for only one year which makes them more collectible.
If you are not a fan of the Daytona, the “Hulk” 116610lv is a good piece as well. As green is the signature colour of Rolex, anything with a green dial can retain their value very well. The “Hulk” features a green sunburst dial and a green ceramic bezel and hence the nickname. It is a very sharp watch to wear and a good investment piece as it has been discontinued already.

Seiko, something for everyone
Not a fan of Rolex or having a limited budget? No problem. Seiko always has something for everyone. What I would recommend are the “Tuna Can”and the “Turtle”. The “Tuna” is a very raw hardcore dive watch featuring big and chunky cases made of different materials. There are many sizes and colours to choose from and there are both quartz and mechanical versions. It has a rich history as well. The “Turtle” is also liked by many given its special case shape. It is less chunky than the “Tuna” and more wearable to many. These Seiko sports watches are in a league of their own.
The Seiko Pressage line is for those who may not like big sports watches. I would recommend those with enamel or Urushi dials in the Pressage line. These dress watches are a bargain given their craft on the dials. You can find any Seiko watches on Chrono24 here.
