First good watch purchase advice....auction.
Discussion
Bit of advice.....
The auction house near me that normally just does cars, has an auction of watches and jewlery coming up. It's all stock that was lifted by the assets recovery via a fraud case in England.
They have 30 or so Rolex/breitling and some more rare makes. They seem to be higher end ones £20-30k with a handful of more standard ones also.
I presume there's no papers or boxes but going for a viewing today at 3 so I'll know more then.
Any advice? Obviously they need to be working and well priced. I would be buying one to keep rather than turn.
There's no reserve so it's hard to know how the bidding will go, we have a small population over here and I can't see that many people bidding. We only have one good watch shop in the entire country. Apparently the stock came over here due to the sensitivity of the case.

Just back from the viewing, yeah they're all genuine. A couple of them have cases and papers, most don't. Only 2 were going out of the whole lot. They had a bit more wear/marks etc than I was expecting.
Total buyer beware, it would need to be cheap when coupled with the 10% auction fee and then a massive repair bill. Will still take a trip along and see what happens. There's a lovely speedmaster looked stunning in the flesh.

This audemars also caught my eye. Wasn't familiar with the brand but a lot of presence.
