Field notes
The workflow separates appraisal from contact exchange: dealers receive the watch details and approved images first, while names and direct contact information are released only after the seller selects an offer. The page describes a single concealed bidding round of about 24 hours, with one possible extension, and shows a sample outcome involving four dealers and CHF 9,850. It also identifies Watchrono as an intermediary rather than the buyer.
