    Lovely collection. The general tone suggests the middle Omega in the 2nd picture should be checked to see if it has CS(i) written in the caseback which may make it slightly more interesting. It also wouldn't surprise me if the half hunter on the right of the 3rd photo might have either W&D or RWC in the caseback which would indicate it is a Rolex - likewise the left hand one in the 4th photo.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    What an interesting collection.
    Nothing to add, it’s been said above but i do think she may struggle to teach the estimates above.
    Always good to have a starting point though.

    I agree it’d be a struggle to achieve some of these results via an auction house (i.e. with the consignor only getting around 2/3 of what the buyer ultimately pays). However, the military stuff has fairly consitent market values and it should be easy to get these estimates in private sales. UK buyers will be easy to find too. The only one I’d be cautious about is the Smiths GS deluxe. These don’t turn up very often, and I wouldn’t like to hazard a guess what one would reach in an open auction. It’s the one that has the most potential to fly past what might be expected.

    Hard to tell obviously but worth pointing out that the GS looks to be in fabulous condition…
