I really like some of the old Piagets. However, I've never seen anything in a reasonably modern size that was anywhere near $2,000...most of the ones under $4-5K are about 32mm or they are ladies watches. I could kick myself for not buying an Altiplano about 10 years ago from an AD losing its franchise. I think it was 36 mm, it was brand new, with a full warranty. It was 50% off so it would have been $5K. I decided to think about it overnight since it was almost dinner time and we had reservations. The next morning it was already sold. I didn't really like the WG as much. Oh well, the one that got away.I really want to buy some vintage Piaget but without having to do the homework..., is there a dealer for old Piaget that I'll get sucker punched for like $200~$300 (for something ~$1 to $2k?) but I can just trust and buy?
Should have gotten that Piaget QP from me a few years back! I ended up selling that on the 'dink for more than I had been asking hereI just like them I suppose, they're simple, classy and small
oh I remember that one, but I had just bought a brand new JLC then, didn't want to get killed by my wife...Should have gotten that Piaget QP from me a few years back! I ended up selling that on the 'dink for more than I had been asking here
I can't unsee an old bathroom scale with the date window at the top.Regrets, I've had a few - including this Piaget. Don't remember why I sold frankly..

Chrono24 is not a seller, it's a platform for sellers so do your diligence and check the actual seller carefully. I have used Chrono24 many times, and I think their payment system with the escrow account offers good protection for the buyer.How careful do you have to be with the more established online sellers like Chrono24, Crown and Caliber, etc.? I've been starting to look at a Cartier Tank for my wife as an anniversary or birthday gift and have been browsing Chrono24 to get an idea of the market. I'm only considering new in box with papers for this, but I'm also seeing some Santos pieces I really like for myself, which I would be willing to buy pre-owned.
Yeesh
@NakedYoga this is good advice. I've purchased a couple of things from Chrono24 sellers using the escrow system. It works well, in my opinion.Chrono24 is not a seller, it's a platform for sellers so do your diligence and check the actual seller carefully.

Thanks. I do like the escrow system. How much diligence is reasonable for the buyer, and how much is approaching overkill? I guess I'm wondering how much diligence Chrono24 does before allowing a listing.@NakedYoga this is good advice. I've purchased a couple of things from Chrono24 sellers using the escrow system.

My recent Zenith acquisition was via chrono24 with escrow and worked out well. You get 14 days from receipt before you have to release funds.Thanks. I do like the escrow system.
