Omega Speedmaster 145.022 Straight Writing
First class service, great communication throughout and a real pleasure doing business with Tony! I'd been searching for this particular reference as a full set for some time and was thrilled when I eventually found it here. The watch arrived promptly, in mint condition and as described. I would highly recommend the Watch Collector for all your vintage and prestige watch buying needs!

Awesome and quick service: thanks Tony for this super watch! Means a lot to me: my grandfather had one just like that in the sixties, early seventies when I was a kid! Brings back so many memories. Thanks again.

Helped me make the right choice!
Tony was a great help! He helped me make the right choice for my first luxury watch giving great advice on watch collecting, watches for investment and also took the time to compare and describe 2 watches i was interested in in order for me to make the right choice - as i was unable to view the watches in person. I would recommend Tony highly. My only point for improvement was that Tony was pretty hard to get hold of at times, although saying that most busy men are! Thanks again for helping me make the right choice.

Beautiful Omega watch
Beautiful Omega 18-carat 'jumbo' dress watch, made in 1950. It came on time and as expected. In fact it looked better in the flesh than in the pics. It didn't work at first but after a call Tony advised me to keep it fully wound for a day or so and it would 'wake up'. That's exactly what happened and it keeps as good time as my 2015 Rolex Sub! Thanks, Tony.
