Yes, insurance will give you the piece of mind that your watches can be replaced if something were to happen!!!

I will be making some phone calls Monday to my homeowners insurance company to see what they offer.
I will feel much better knowing if something happens to my Rolexes they will be covered.

Mine live on my wrist, or in the safe deposit vault at the bank, so no.

Insured as additional items with home contents insurance, after 4 watches they insisted they I have an intruder alarm fitted, but that's not a biggie as it all helps

I don't cos I don't trust insurance company. They'll find all sort of reasons not to pay you. When they decided to pay, it could be months or longer. And don't feel safe leaving my Rolex at home either. So I wear it all the time.
Now I have a problem .... I realized it long ago ... how do I own more than 1 Rolexes this way?

Yeah for 60 bucks for a year, ill spend that to be covered just in case. That way they also have a record of my watch before hand. I also have extra coverage on my firearm and military collection. Ron
