It all depends on which one is the Tudor, if the Unicorn is RWC or not, and whether you are a watchmaker or would have to pay someone to fx them for you.
As a non watchmaker with a soul I would say $40.
If I didn't have a soul and could write up some bullshit EBAY listing about a connection between Rolex and Unicorn 100 years ago even if the Unicorn was 2 years old I would jump as high as $80.

I'd go a shade higher.
I'd say 150.
The Tudor and Unicorns are an easy flip. The rest are a little dirty but not dreadful.

I was interested in the Citizen and the 2 Seiko's, the rest I have no use for, at least 5 ladies watches are a black hole for me so I was going to make a bid of about $50 - it went past that before I could bid - ended at $210.50 a little rich for me! I was watching an old Seiko due to end at 10:00 AM tomorrow starting price $0.99 with no bids, suddenly this arvo the auction was ended "because the seller no longer had the item". Read the seller saw it going for $1.49 and bailed out. Can't seem to pull a thing these days everything gets bid out of the ballpark, even the wrecks from Ramon are becoming to expensive with the low $AU it costs about $39.00 for a watch that if you can restore it to going condition is worth about $45, and that's after fitting a new crystal and a band.

Not a great deal unless there's a gem in there. I'm not 100% sure any of them would pay back the price of restoration or servicing. I would never have paid $200, buy might have taken a punt at $50.

Supposedly the reason for the sharp fall is low interest rates. If you don't get a good return on government bonds, why buy them? I'd say a low AU dollar value is going to be a thing for quite a while as we are too reliant on China, and they are due for a huge correction any time soon.
