In the UK, the insurance companies don't pay any attention to a receipt for a used item. They insist on valuations and you have to pay for those valuations. My insurance company want a valuation every three years for watches between £3,000 and £5,000 and annually for those worth over £5,000. Bearing in mind that, typically it costs between £60 and £100 each for the £3 - 5,000 watches and £120 to £150 for the £5,000+ watches, this can get quite expensive. Also bear in mind the annual monitoring cost for an intruder alarm and the cost of an approved safe. Then, of course, there is the cost of the insurance.
