We don’t have any children. I have two younger brothers and a bunch of nephews. I want my wife to keep my Patek Calatrava.

I’m working on figuring all this out as we speak. Whatever happens to it, it will not be sold but will find another wrist to enjoy it for hopefully many years.

Why, do you plan on dying anytime soon?

silly boy. everyone knows as soon as you die, the cabal shows up, secures all the timepieces, and sell them to grey dealers out of the back of the hearse.

(decide where you want them to go. if you want them treated differently than the rest of your estate, add a rider to your will)

Pw92676 · 13 November 2021, 02:04 AM

Maybe give a few to anyone close to you who would appreciate a reminder of you to perpetuate your legacy? And what are you doing with your other assets?

Chadridv · 13 November 2021, 02:06 AM

It’s like any other asset I suppose. Obviously it all goes to my wife. She can do whatever she wants at that point. I’ve given her the names and contact info of some trusted friends that can help her sell them if she wants or she can obviously just keep them, give them to my kids, whatever.

sond86 · 13 November 2021, 02:10 AM

I just live in the moment and will
Name some beneficiaries
In case of an untimely demise.

Otherwise I’ll start selling them and gifting some to nephews when I’m
Retired

Tikandtokalot · 13 November 2021, 02:11 AM

Forget to wind it up.

FHFinster · 13 November 2021, 02:11 AM

They will come with me to the afterlife.

If I live long enough I will liquidate all but one. The last one which was an inheritance piece will go to an heir.

Llamathurst · 13 November 2021, 02:15 AM

Make provisions to have them thrown off the nearest mountain. Some lucky hiker will score. I think I'll leave the keys and titles in the collector cars and park them on the street with "free" signs.

h20addict · 13 November 2021, 02:28 AM

They will go to my kids.

Marcjvr · 13 November 2021, 02:33 AM

I plan to sell my Rolex to my grandkids on my deathbed

It's Hedley · 13 November 2021, 02:34 AM

My wife and I have no kids either. My wife's rings will go to our only niece and I will leave each of our 4 nephews with a very nice watch.

Calatrava r · 13 November 2021, 02:34 AM

Ideally, you will have a heads up on your demise, during which time you can either sell your watches or identify those people who you want to have them and pass them on while you are still alive.

Harry-57 · 13 November 2021, 02:40 AM

Our children and grandchildren will get them, whatever they might be by then. They can treasure them, wear the hell out of them, sell them or give them away as they see fit. It won't make any difference to us.

S52 · 13 November 2021, 02:48 AM

Sell off the entire collection as i get older (except for 1 which I’ll probably wear to the end of the line). No children to worry about here.

Gotta try to time it just right so the last check I write is to the undertaker… and it bounces

GST15 · 13 November 2021, 02:50 AM

They are marked for children and grandchildren

Gotta hope they don't dig you up and check you for rings and gold fillings.

joejet · 13 November 2021, 03:16 AM

I plan to pass on my Patek 5990/1R order I placed, to my kids when I die.

enjoythemusic · 13 November 2021, 03:24 AM

Usually these things go to family members.

My percussion/drum setup is being donated to a world-renown percussion college.

tarponfly · 13 November 2021, 03:27 AM

Split between my children.

WatchNutcase · 13 November 2021, 03:41 AM

I'm literally having kids just to pass down my watches

DavB · 13 November 2021, 03:47 AM

Lucky I will pass mine to my kids.

fsprow · 13 November 2021, 03:48 AM

Let my heirs inherit my spots on the waiting lists.

Ensign · 13 November 2021, 03:49 AM

I wonder if these watches will retain much value in 40 years or so.

I remember 20 years ago, if a Rolex was more than 15 years old, it lost a lot of its value.

Will Millennials and Gen Z pay much for a 40 year old Panda or Batman?

brandrea · 13 November 2021, 03:52 AM

I have a will with a codicil that explicitly states who gets what, including my watches

Mick006 · 13 November 2021, 03:52 AM

If anyone is without heirs and wishes to pass them to an enthusiast, I am happy to oblige.

If you’d like, I will come to the service and deliver a heartfelt eulogy.

zengineer · 13 November 2021, 03:59 AM

My son will get everything that my wife doesn't know how to operate, so he gets the watches, power tools and oven.
