Love it... but surely half the point of collection, is the collection itself, the actual act of acquisition of it?

Also Is that not really expensive? The dirty dozen tend not to be super expensive, the IWC/JLC tend to be what £3k with the others being £1-£1.5k ish.

The Grana is the outlier, about £6k but you have to find one in the first place... I agree though that it must be more satisfying to get them piece by piece yourself.

Ahh did not realise that, always thought the JLC were the most costly, is the Grana £6k due to rarity or is it one of those brands super high quality brands that are largely now forgotten?

Ha! No nothing to do with quality...rarity and collector demand to complete the set!

Surely this would be good for someone to buy then break up to sell individually?

Or someone may buy the whole lot to upgrade or complete their own collection and then sell on the remainder.

In any case, I’m sure there’ll be some interest in this lot and I wouldn’t imagine it will go cheap.
