Watches For Sale

As a collector I have acquired examples of watches over many years that took my fancy for one reason or another. I do not buy to on-sell watches. From time to time my collecting ‘bent’ changes. These days I have narrowed my collection into two streams, one of which is Omega Constellations and the other is of the 'Big Five'. Naturally, I am not off-loading any of my treasured Constellations, as, after twenty-odd years of collecting them, it would be a prospect too shocking to contemplate.

If you are interested in any of the watches please email me. Also feel free to contact me for additional information at mondodec@tpg.com.au.

Pictures of casebacks and movements are available on request.

Shipping from Australia is secure and reliable. All watches will be securely packed and shipped registered airmail unless otherwise requested. Fedex is also an option. Customs declarations will be styled in a fashion that protects the contents of the parcel.

As in any distance transaction, the bona-fides of the parties to the transaction are important. I will require proof of address, and I will give it; I will require evidence of integrity, and I will reciprocate. I will not ship to Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand or the former Eastern Europe, and I am loath to ship to Italy using postal services.
