I was just looking at this the other day, and going by the retail value of all of them for my home contents insurance, it is just over $20,000. I didn't pay anything near that though, maybe $10k over the last few years. Most the stuff I buy is worth $5-800, but with ebay and Amazon, you can pick them up usually for around 50-60% off. But if you were buying them at regular jewelers, it would be around $20-22000. I know a couple guys that have one piece worth that kind of dough.
I don't have any Breitling's, Rolex's or Omegas or anything like that though. I have a very weird obsession with obscure Seiko and Citizen Japanese market dive watches, which account for about 20 of the watches in my collection.
