The BLNR is already up to $6,800. It'll probably sell for way more. I don't get people's fascination with this guy. I was hoping for a steal lol

A lot of watches; no reason to buy any of that crooks bad mojo!!! I hope he rots personally. So many tacky diamond upped watches as well. I guess taste is a matter of the individual's perception.

That's a big lot. Can't imagine they're all his. Anyway, bad karma is right, no thanks here.

As mentioned earlier, only lots 1000-1138 are personal property of James "Whitey" Bulger and Catherine Greig. So for watches, this means there's only a couple cheap Seiko and Peoples brand watches that are part of the lot. Unfortunately, there's no Rolexes up for auction that he owned.

Tons of watches. It's a shame there is some cool stuff, but I couldn't buy from a monster like him. Hope they raise a lot of money for those families. We will see all this crap on eBay soon enough.

As noted the watches aren't all his. Only the first 100 lots or so are from his estate. The rest are random seizure spoils from other people.

The shovel was probably used to burry people.
