These notes are written in plain English rather than legal language so that expectations are clear.
By purchasing a watch you confirm that you have read and accepted these notes.
Sales
All sales are final.
In-person sales are final at the moment the watch is handed over.
Remote sales include a three-day unconditional return window. After three days the sale is final and cannot be undone.
Returns
As a private seller, I am not usually in a position to deal with returns or exchanges. I would rather not sell to you if you are the kind of collector who wants to return watches after six months. I am just not able to operate like that. There are plenty of dealers who operate that way. My watches are priced differently because I do not run that kind of operation.
Buybacks
I have been known to buy my own watches back, but I am not a watch dealer and do not have an open door to do this. I buy at my own pace when my financial circumstances allow. If I do re-purchase, the price will be based on prevailing market. Do not expect to make a profit, or even get all your money back. These are not investments.
Payments
Prices are set in US Dollars and can be settled by bank wire transfer to my business SCB account in Hong Kong, or to a US bank connected to my account. I will accept Bitcoin at the prevailing rate at time of payment.
Delivery
The watches in this April 2026 sale are held in the United States. I can deliver any of these via FedEx in the USA for an additional $120. UK delivery is possible after Mid April 2026.
Ownership and Jurisdiction
All my watches are held by Benjamin Warwick Ltd, Hong Kong. This was because in 2012 HSBC informed me that I could no longer buy watches through my personal bank account, and so I was obliged to buy and own them all via my business account. Watches are delivered tax-free in HK, please contact me for other deliveries. (A few are bought, and are held in UK and USA, so no import issues). USA delivery is simple and inexpensive, compared to Europe.
Warranty
Most of the watches have recently been serviced by Simon Freese in the United Kingdom, and all have been checked by him prior to listing.
These are vintage watches and, statistically, a few small issues across a group this size are always possible.
I do not offer a formal warranty for timekeeping or functioning. However, if a watch develops an issue within six months of the sale, I will pay for Simon Freese to adjust or correct it in the UK.
If the watch is outside the UK, you will need to deal with local corrections yourself. This is not to avoid responsibility — it is simply not practical for me to pay small overseas repair bills months after a sale.
Vintage watches sometimes need a little fettling. That is part of owning them.
Extracts
Omega has still not reintroduced the extract service, and many of the current offerings are without extracts. I have done my due diligence on the movements in this sale, but I do not guarantee that when Omega reopens the Extract service, that all these watches will qualify for extracts. To be clear:
If Omega later refuses to issue an Extract for any watch sold here, that will not be grounds for return.
I am not avoiding responsibility, I do as much due diligence as I can, however we cannot predict what standards Omega will apply in the future, or what the issuance or not of an extract will mean.
My Customer – You!
I want you to find a rare, good quality Speedmaster that fits your budget and your dreams.
Please buy only when you are ready and can afford it. Not only the watch, but any future services or corrections a vintage watch might need.
These are not investments, and I recommend you view this purchase as a pleasure, like a boat, or an aeroplane. (But not a horse).
Please bear in mind I am a private collector — that means I am not ready to buy watches back most of the time. This is my hobby and makes very little money. I do it for fun, and I sell, primarily, so I can go and find more one owner watches with interesting history.
