PBI, there are several good points/advantages to collecting those.... 1) you don't need an FFL to ship a purchase.... 2) you always know WHEN you are suppose to be at the watch show.... 3) you don't need a fire rated safe to lock them up when there are young children around.... 4) Young children can touch and handke your collection without their parents.... 5) you don't have to worry if the watch hands are made by a specific subcontractor or if the marks are humped.... 6) you can wear an entire display on your arm and save the room for display tables at a show!!!
