Last Will and Testament - Make Sure All My Rolexes are in my Casket!!

Anyone else taking these things to the afterlife? I'm considering an Egyptian style mummification so I can enjoy these things for eternity

in that state of preservation, keeping accurate time would probably be the least of your primary concerns.

Couldn't agree more here. My mom did the same thing with her jewelry.

Last Will and Testament - Make Sure All My Rolexes are in my Casket!!

I am having watches placed by an Angle on a unicorn's horn at sunset, under a rainbow with butterflies and white doves flying around my casket...

Seriously- If you want to do that you fare free to do so. Not sure you will see or need them in the after life.

Mine would go to family. No use in having them decay right next to me.

I will be sporting one at the viewing. I have told my wife which ones are keepers for the kids and the rest she can sell. She never will sell them. She will keep them because it was my thing and reminds her of me.

I will haunt my entire family if they bury me with my watches!

These things are built to outlast our short human lifespans. They're supposed to be enjoyed for generations.

I have no family and am most likely gonna die alone on the floor of a dingy Bangkok hotel curled up in the fetal position in a pool of my own vomit with a needle sticking out of my arm while the front desk person rifles through my wallet for my last three bucks and yards my Rolex off my wrist... This only after being called by my neighbors cuz the smell got too bad.



Relax. I'm kidding.














It will probably be a 19 year old prostitute that gets to my wallet and Rolex before the front desk guy.
