With the exception of my out-of-catalog Pateks, I assume that a rough estimate wouldn't be too hard to determine by looking at past auctions, secondary dealer sites, etc....even if, likewise, I don't really have an interest in doing so! :-)
The most important thing for me though is, I badly hope I'll never receive too HIGH of an offer for my 'Boccadasse' (people with homes/castles in that neighborhood of course periodically show interest)....since no matter how crazy an offer is, that will NEVER get sold for as long as I'm around! ;-))

Amusingly enough, I was just thinking about it a few minutes ago while in the basement doing laundry. The thought was, "Here I am, an apparently perfectly normal and reasonable human being, doing chores on a Saturday at home. And yet I am somehow also the...
Exactly!
I was about to say this has lessened since I got a new car... but then I realized my 'new' Volkswagen is coming on 5 years old. Not so new after all!
A site I visit from time to time
Watchrecon This gives some indication of market value and what watches have recently sold for. Yes, I have a rough estimate for what my very humble collection is worth
