All of my watches go to my wife, except my SS Daytona. My friend and boxing coach Bruno is getting that one because I know he'd like it and take care of it and my wife will have enough watches to sell already.

My wife and I don't have any children either....so, I'd give it to my nephew. We already gave him a car!✅

The city gets it. The bus rolled right over it and now it is imbedded in the bitumen at the corner of East and Fitzroy. 11 pedestrians have been run over trying to prise it out of the road.

You have always liked my YG DD Kenneth so that one goes to you.

My wife will look after the rest.

The kids can bide their time.

My son, but to be realistic if I get hit by a bus I'm sure it will get stolen and will never reach him. haha

The bus shattered the crystal, and blood went in it.

My wife would proudly wear Kermit.

I was going to give my Sub C to a TRF member. The problem is not many of you like ceramic inserts, maxi dials, thick lugs or that ridiculous clasp

Am I the only one who finds it strange that this question is being asked by the Dark Knight? Surely someone who has been able to fight Bane, train with the League Of Shadows and has enough tools/gadgets to protect a whole city by himself shouldn't be that worried about a mere bus...

...Then again, you may have a little (and understandable) fear of things that could break you...

Not a bus near any where I go. OK, maybe one shopping mall. I'm just not worried. My wife and kids can kill each other over them. Hopefully I'll be watching from down below.
