Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

Maybe, but for someone with money who doesn't want the hassle of chasing after the watches individually they may view this as a golden opportunity. Also, some of the rarer watches do command high prices these days. Be interesting for someone with their finger on the pulse to guesstimate how much you would expect to pay for a full set. I've certainly seen some at £6k - £7k, but I'm sure others are cheaper.
I wouldn't want to buy a ready made full set. The thrill of the chase is most of the fun of it.Originally Posted by Wallasey Runner
The rarest is the Grana. You'll be looking at £8K for a good one, maybe more. The IWC is probably about £5k. The Longines is getting up to £4k now. Best bang for buck is the Cyma as it's a Stainless Steel case, a more contemporary size at about 38mm and a relatively modest price at about £1k.
I'd have put the full set at about £30K. That's before adding the buyer's premium from the auction house.
Here's my full set plus a couple btw

A stunning collection.
It'll be a lucky buyer that gets those.
Thank you for that, very informative and a rather impressive collection you have there.
This ^^
This is the difficult one to get but by no means the best of the 12. There's just not that many of them:
This one has the best movement. IWC caliber 83:
This is the prettiest. imho.
It didn't look so good when it was found buried in a Welsh field by a guy using a metal detector! Above photo was taken on the Gower peninsula.
I had to sell a complete set about 6 years ago to pay a tax bill; I got 10k then. The Grana sold for 3500 which was, I think, a record then. Amazing how prices have increased since then, I should have borrowed the tax money and kept the dozen for my pension fund!

very foolish, as you said, you should have borrowed for the tax man and kept the set!...
I don't think Finest Hour are representative of the wider market. £4 - 4.5k should still get you a nice Longines WWW imo.
I have caught the bug. All I can look at is www DD watches.

A compete set, that is a proper achievement.
I've been contemplating about trying to get there but the chances just seemed to be too slim.
Someone is very lucky to acquire this set, although i do agree that the pleasure is the hunt.
Darn right...
Darn right, but I was glad when it was over...

I got lucky with the Grana. Chris Herbert (before he set up Finest Hour) was selling a full set. The Grana was still available so I snapped it up. And a fine example it too.
