Impressive display in a Charity Shop window in Dublin today

    So, I was wandering the streets today in Dublin. All the "non-essential" shops are closed, including a charity shop. I am unsure when it will open again - mid to late November is the plan I think. Anyway, an impressive display of watches in what appear to be their original boxes in the window.

    None of these watches are for me - but they are an impressive set nonetheless. I'd imagine they'll go very cheap (they are cheap watches after all). Or am I missing something, are any of these particularly worthwhile?

    My thinking is a collector might be interested in swooping in to buy the lot.

    Looks like someone could jump-start a Croton collection if they were so inclined.

    Leave their inventory in a window when they’re closed? I recall a time when I ran a jewellery store where I live. We made the mistake of leaving Seikos in a window display overnight. Someone took out a $2,800.00 (1985 price) to get at the Seikos. We never made that mistake again,

    That struck me as the pick of the bunch too.

    I've emailed the shop to see what the story is. Asked for a quote on the lot. I've no interest myself, but if there is a OF regular that wants them at cost get in touch.
