Purchased Tokyo 2020 Panda Speedmaster.
Purchased Tokyo 2020 Panda Speedmaster. Communication with Darren was easy and fast. After payment the item was delivered very quickly. Very good experience, for sure will purchase some other speedmaster.
Totally recommended
I purchased an Alaska Project Omega Speedmaster and the 2nd edition of the Moonwatch Only book from Darren.
Both were in absolutely mint condition precisely as announced. Darren answered all my questions immediately via WhatsApp, both items were sent perfectly packaged and arrived within 24 hours via DHL with regular tracking updates during their journey.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Darren: totally reliable and professional and also a very friendly and knowledgeable person it has been a pleasure to do business with.
Sad to sell but happy with outcome...
I'd had a Speedmaster for many years but was not an expert in movement types, models, condition etc. Because of this, and concerns about selling my watch on auction platforms, I opted for a consignment sale through Darren at Vintage Speedmaster. The process was generally smooth though not of course immediate and I was happy to achieve a sale price for my watch which I'd otherwise almost certainly not have managed. I would use the service again if I had a second watch to sell!
Very happy Speedmaster customer
I purchased a vintage Speedmaster from Darren recently and the transaction was faultless. The watch was exactly as described and his communication throughout the process was superb. I can highly recommend Darren to any potential Speedmaster buyer. David
Fantastic purchase experience.
Could not have wished for a better online purchasing experience and cannot imagine anyone being any better then Darren to deal with. I transferred the money via bank wire and Darren held the watch for me for two months until I was out of the conflict zone I was working in.
As I was already traveling I elected to travel to the UK and collect my Speedy Tuesday Ultraman in person and Darren brought it to my hotel. It was a pleasure to meet and talk with him and made the experience all the better.
I would say the whole experience was better then working with an original dealer and would buy all my future purchases with Darren if possible.
Darren made the whole experience a real pleasure
Darren was so knowledgable and passionate about his range of Speedmasters and gave really personal service.
I would definitely recommend him if you fancy buying a special watch!
Darren is utterly trustworthy
Darren is utterly trustworthy. He delivers on his promises, conducting his transactions in a relaxed professional manner. I recently purchased a speedmaster. I admit I was a little nervous as this was my first major purchase on line. Darren soon put me at ease by sending the invoice, with his company details, prior to any transfer of funds. Giving me the opportunity to carry out due checks. Piece arrived tracked, packaging outstanding. Thanks to Darren.
Omega Ultraman 2
Just completed a purchase with Darren and it went very smooth. Darren was very responsive, provided details of the watch (Omega Ultraman 2) and shipped very promptly after transfer of funds. The watch arrived as expected (he sent tracking details) and had all the wrapping / packaging / boxes still intact, making it a true BNIB experience. Would buy another watch from Darren in a heartbeat.
Purchase with the greatest confidence!!!
It is without hesitation that I recommend Darren. He is a gentleman and utterly professional in every sense of the word.

Fantastic service / One of the Best
Fantastic service! Excellent communication! First time and I will buy again! Couldn’t ask for a better experience. Delivered so fast and was everything I hoped for. Thank you for my Speedy Tuesday Ultraman.
Fantastic transaction
Darren couldn't have been more helpful facilitating my purchase of a new in box Omega Speedmaster. Everything was smooth as glass even when I had trouble wiring funds to him. (my bank's fault) He knows his stuff and is always eager to talk Speedys or anything watch related for that matter. This guy is the real deal. Buy with confidence.
the Best experience
It has been my first purchase outside of Spain. And I have done it with the best company that can be done. A 10 for Darren, it has been a perfect business, everything is as described and the treatment that Darren gives you is exquisite. My reference for future purchases
"THE" best online watch shop ever…
"THE" best online watch shop ever period !
Communication , price , shipment, package , 100% as described. You would found Darren not a seller but a friend who will help and get you what your dream of.
Just got my Omega Ultraman in HK less than 48hrs after wire transfer. One of the 2012 pieces .
Thanks Darren ... You're the man 🤙🤙🤙
First transaction, looking forward to more.
I've been in communication with Daren for over a year now about various watches that I've been interested in. I finally pulled the trigger on a purchase through him and it was a smooth transaction across the board (discovery, payment, shipping, etc.). Clear communication was a highlight throughout the process.
He's super knowledgeable and even though I'm across the pond in southern California, I plan to acquire certain pieces from Daren / Vintage Speedmaster going forward. I am looking forward to working with him again.

Darren was a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended!
Darren was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish, when selling a watch for me recently.
He kept me completely informed during the whole process, doing exactly what he said he'd do, when he said he'd do it.
It's a leap of faith to put your trust in someone you've never actually met when selling your pride and joy, but Darren made it as painless as it could be.
Would definitely use Darren for future sales and hopefully purchases too.
