The Lost Place Is A Great Place For Service

Recommended Posts

Ahhh, Atlantis. Lost place of legend.

No longer lost, I found they have what has become a lost level of customer service.

I found a watch on C24. As has become my cautious habit, I contacted the dealer directly, since my experiences with the 24 have been . . . less than exemplary.

I got a nice lady on the phone, explained that I was resident of that far-off unknown place called Canada and told her about the watch. She politely asked if she could call me back, as she had customers in the store.

And she did, less than an hour later. I told her  that I had seen the watch on Chrono 24 but did not see it on their webpage. She confirmed they did indeed have it. We chatted, we haggled, she sent a PP invoice, which I (cringed at because of the damned exchange rate) then paid.

The next day, I had my watch, just like that.

The day after *that* she called to confirm I had it and was happy with it.

Just, like, wow, man.

Seriously recommend you give them a try.

Maybe it's just me - I read the title - and I assumed this was going to be you ripping a new hole in  this place for the worst service ever.... Kind of like the last place I would ever go to try and get good service.

Happy it's the other way around!

But yes, pictures are a must....

They have this one their site, am I the only one who thinks it looks a little suspect?  Especially for $12,999.00?

To start with, compare the zeroes on the bezel insert.  On the one from the site, they're round.  On the gen from the first link you posted, they're more squared off.  The bezel insert was the first thing that jumped out at me as looking strange/cheap.

My apologies if I came across as crapping on your experience with them, not my intention at all.  I'm truly sorry if that's how it was interpreted.  I'm happy that you were able to make a deal on a watch you were after, especially a gen :)

It was just that one watch where I had some doubts.  I'll get back in my cage now :lol:

They came across as pretty sincere. If I may borrow your keen eye, I can drop them an email to check it out.

:D

EDIT: Not that I know why anyone would rep *that*  . . . or *wear* a rollie at all . . . ain't that right,  @FL13
