BAM! You are hit by a bus today, who gets your Rolex?
Who would you WANT to have it? Since I don't have kids I guess by default it would go to my wife, and I'd be happy with her keeping it.

I'm guessing it would need a service after that hit though.

My wife can decide what to do with my things, why would I care?

Likely my son would want the watches or at least some of them.

I have a deal with a seller. He will sell all my watches for me and take his commission. Rest goes to my family.

Wife and full instructions already planned out. They will go out to the best behaved TRF members and only those who don't whine about precious metal watches. The list is getting slimmer since Basel though.

Wife will pass them to my son upon college graduation. If he is not into watches...or my taste in watches, she can sell them or some of them and use the proceeds to get him a car.

My son and daughter. Lucky for them I have been able to amass a tiny but (to me at least) respectable watch collection. My wife can keep the DJ and other watches I got for her. But I insist on getting buried in my Alden cordovan shell long wing bluchers color 8 of course!

Seriously, this happened to me once.






The bus bounced off my SubC.





Didn't even leave a scratch.

No need to wait for a bus to hit you, Ken. I will gladly take one of your watches right now. I will PM you my address.

I've always loved precious metal watches, can I get two?
