Pix of watches were taken on pedestrian pavement beside drain cover? thought these watch deserve more dignity?

That's one solid collection that's up for sale man.

Here's one of the reason why many Rolex collectors keep their Rolexes...in times of need like raising cash for college education for their kids.

Hope his son appreciates the sacrifice that his father has made for him. I m sure that collection has took a long time to reach the stage it is at now.

Thanks for sharing

Cheers!

Maybe he took it at his backyard?

Or perhaps on a BBQ pit?

Thats more plausible. Look carefully at the pit, there is an opening for putting BBQ fuel inside.

if no receive watch, confirm up lorry one!! Otherwise, it seems COD is available to those residing in the same state as him.

carrying cash not the issues, its explaining to departing and US customs thats the headache.

officer: "sir, explain why you are bring such amounts of cash out of the country?"
traveller: "to buy watch in USA"
officer: "fill up this form pls and make formal declaration. we also need to count the cash!"

I would think that he could have gotten more out of the watches if he auction them individually?

That's 1 great dad btw...but I would keep 1 & give the son as a "heirloom"..maybe he has...

amazing collection. At 80k now, and reserve is still not met.

let's guess what the reserve. My guess is 150K. (UCLA woh).

That collection not worth so much. Think end up close with no deal.
