Not for me, no, mainly because i have decent examples of older seamasters and connies. But i (we) don't know what you already have and what you are looking for.

From these blurry photos, i think most of these are mainly entry level noob type watches
I’m looking for something that aren’t readily available. Maybe something a bit special. If there aren’t any, then I’ll just pick one that looks nice.
Thanks for looking

I agree with Grumpy er, I mean Sherbie!
In the box of 21 watches, I would pull out the four on the right in the top and bottom rows.
If genuine and nice, they could be worth $400ish each.
The others all flash warnings that put me off at first, fuzzy glance.

Would you mind me posting a few closer up, once I have them?

Could this one be quite old?
'40's looking case, but lume looks thick.
We need a good head on photo but that one might be worth looking at.
Beware: most black dials aren't original.

Wow, I'm exhausted! Goodnight!

Develop your own taste in watches. That's part of the fun. It'd be like walking into a well-known tailor shop and asking them to dress you, without giving them any clue what your own sense of style is or whether you'd be wearing it to work as a corporate lawyer or as a film producer, or to the opera or a football game.

And, yes, do closer pictures. The whole case photos where each watch is tiny and the faces of the watches are lost in glare from the flash are particularly useless. Take a camera or a good cell phone, shoot available light if at all possible. Much of what makes a watch valuable is orginality and condition, and you can't see that if it's out of focus or too small for details to show - at most you'd get a possible price if there are no defects.
