The fact that 1/2 of the watches are without straps leads me to conclude that the pic was cooked.

For those who can't see the link, here is the actual image:
More like hundreds of thousands.

If that one on the third row down and 4th from the right is a military Panerai with a Rolex movement it is worth 150-250k on its own!

Some of those watches are worth a packet.

Wonder how long he has been collecting these watches for and how many he buys a year.

Amazing isn't it.

That collection is owned by one of the most knowledgeable collector's in the hobby. The gentleman is an encyclopedia of Rolex history.

If you wore each watch in rotation starting on 1 January you would not the same watch twice until 9 March (unless it was a leap year).

If you wore each one in rotation for one week at a time you would still have 15 watches unworn at the end of the year.

If you wore each watch in rotation for one month at a time it would take 5 years and 7 months to go wear every watch. So I suppose you could wear one for a month and then send it off for service. Sounds expensive...
