I'm looking at this watch: http://www.chrono24.com/longines/conquest-18k-rose-gold-automatic-box--id5722252.htm

It's overpriced, and I think the back is a replacement, but the main issue I have is the photos seem to be photoshopped. Do people actually prefer this? I'd rather a bunch of realistic photos taken with a phone camera any day.

 

That's more then a little over processed lol.

 

$$$

 

Lip stick on a pig? Its because a lot of buyers are frigging idiots,

 

Chrono 24 is a scam of a site

 

Well @Perrier seems you missed one here in our FS section

Quite expensive, as others have said but, in the end someone will buy it for that price and, the photoshopping helps, sadly...

 

I only buy watches to show them off on various internet forums.
So I'm always making my buying decision based on how photogenic the particular model is.

If the sellers pics are already well photoshopped I'm a taker. This way I can be assured it will generate a lot of ♥️ on my instagram feed.

 

The world is filled with human predators. Rather than fretting about dubious sellers and tactics, or lying politicians and governments, arm yourself with knowledge. Those who don't are certain to be burned, and overpaying of for a watch will, sadly, prove ultimately to be very low on a scale of importance.

 

Thanks for sharing.

 

The watch has more orange hue than a certain public figure. Now that tells you something.

 

I had a similar response in mind... Let me just get it straight, you are making a sarcasting comment on social media etc, right?

 

Hmmmm? Each to their own mate but... If that's the only reason you buy watches, why don't you just copy and paste pictures of other people's watches? You would save a few bob that way and you could buy real beer and real holidays and real things in general??? Your whole watch thing seems to be 2 dimensional! Don't you like hearing them go tick tick tick tick tick tick tick....

 

I believe he was taking the proverbial piss, bloke.

 

Blimey... we're all at it on here!

 

hahaha

it s not only with watches, but also with ladies at advertisement

Photoshop = $$$

 

I've e-mailed the seller and he says the photos are unprocessed.

What a joke.

 

I am not affiliated in any way with Chrono24 but I have to disagree with you on that. It is merely a site where dealers and individuals list their pieces for sale. A potential buyer should do their own due diligence when buying anything of great value.

With all this said I have bought a watch at a pretty good price from Chrono24 that had bad pictures and had been for sale for some time. This is by no means an endorsement for Chrono24. Again buyer beware.

 

The best deals I've had where watches with poor photos. Enough details to make sure it was correct but passed over due to poor presentation. One day I'll have to share the eBay pictures of a Seiko I got at 1/3 the going rate when 2 others sold at full price on eBay within 2 days.
