Oh man appreciate all the replies with the stores potentially carrying Mido and I will contact them all.
In the case where I might need to purchase on Chrono24, anyone had experience they can share? And how to have the watch authenticated etc... Many thanks.


So this watch i sold via Carouhell, i saw some seller from Italy using my photos at Chrono24 and also saw a number of Russian sellers selling at ultra cheap price.

Like any other platform, it's not 100% genuine, make sure the seller have positive review.

Better buy @ Gnomon like someone suggested earlier.

Okay 2021 i'm gonna get a good watch.


A Black watch.
Budget >$8000

I don't like Omega.

Recommendation pls.
i just tried the Zenith Defy El Primero 21 in black ceramic earlier this week. That piece is a beast. You got the double escapement, 1 for the running time and 1 for the chronograph. The chronograph is beating at 1/100. One you see the video / hands-on, you will always admire it. tbh it's underrated imo.

The skeleton is nice. But find it slightly big at 44mm.

top hour is about $50, no need prior appointment. just take note their opening hours. authentication is about 15mins only.

Do they open the back of your watch and provide certification if it is only 15mins?
