Stop the madness, just say something nice in 16 posts. You are really sounding very ungrateful that someone left you a prized piece of history and you come off as crass that you can't wait to reap the rewards of your deceased relative. It makes me vomit in my mouth a little.

I should put a stipulation in my will, that if my nephew (I don't have any kids) acts like an ungrateful brat, then he gets nothing and they set up a trust for the other great nieces, nephews and pets. It kills me that you are so worried about selling his watch, that you are posting things like this. I would have at least thought you would be gracious about it.

Sorry, just hits close to home. This is a sad society we live in. I treasure the things that were passed down to me by my parents and grandparents. I just don't get it. I want to pass those things on to my family. Heirlooms are precious to some.....

Motorcycles and Rolex are in no way mutually exclusive

Unless you come off one wearing your Rolex Maybe that's what he was afraid of.
