Tombstone · 27 March 2007, 05:59 AM

An associate of mine and fellow Rolex owner told me that when he dies he wants to be buried with his Rolex on. I looked at him in shock as this sounded foolish to me. Your dead you don't need to know the time, time is over for you. I feel some one would take the watch or it would rot along with everything else inside. I just don't see the logic in this. He feels that others think as he does so we shall settle this foolish idea with a poll, would you do this?

Tombstone · 27 March 2007, 06:04 AM

And yes what about the cremation factor, do you just throw the Rolex in a box of ashes. It's like the prize in the Cracker Jack box.

Obsession · 27 March 2007, 06:09 AM

Stupid idea

Earl · 27 March 2007, 06:25 AM

I voted wrong due to not reading/understanding the question. If it is the part of being buried where you are laid out in the coffin for the viewing and it is to be closed after then I say wear it and have the undertaker remove it before casket closure as was done with my parents... wedding rings, watches, jewelery it was removed at the last minute to give to the family. So, to take it underground then you then you are a materialistic SOB.
my 2 cents

Dan Pierce · 27 March 2007, 06:27 AM

When I'm gone, all useble body parts donated to others, then cremation, and my ashes spread over the Ohio River or the West Maui Mountains.
As for my Rollies, they will grace the wrist of my son and then, hopefully his son.

No, and I'm going to live forever anyway.

I hope to be buried with YOUR Rolexes! ;)

WES · 27 March 2007, 06:52 AM

I've always tried to be a good Dad

and I wouldn't want the the kids to get hurt or arrested while digging me up!

They can have them when I go.

steve-o · 27 March 2007, 06:55 AM

I would hope my son or daughter would want it.

Rubenonfire · 27 March 2007, 07:06 AM

Nothing like thousands of dollars of totally usable asset lying in the ground. What are you, a Pharaoh? I'll send mine to JJ, he'll probably outlive us all, what with the mountain air and the sheep.

bwalkerVintage · 27 March 2007, 07:19 AM

I would leave it for my children. If no children, then to some charity auction.

^fai^ · 27 March 2007, 09:18 AM

I would pass it to next generation and hope it carry on...............

nko51 · 27 March 2007, 09:51 AM

That would be a waste of a good watch in my opinion.

Scooby · 27 March 2007, 10:17 AM

Not to cast aspersions, but that guy is a grade A moron (oh well, I guess that was a bit of an aspersion

).

When I am gone, my GMT will grace the wrist of my son like it did his grandfather.

astcell · 27 March 2007, 10:19 AM

Since I have no kids I may put mine in a geocache.

JJ Irani · 27 March 2007, 10:35 AM

I asked my wife about this and she said she'd kill me if I even considered it.

Either way, I'm a loser!!

Then you will be double dead.One Rolex for each death ....

santaclaus2100 · 27 March 2007, 12:56 PM

My watches will be left to my son, daughter, wife and my best friend.

When I am dead, I AM DEAD. No need to bring it with me.

TARDIS · 27 March 2007, 01:00 PM

A daft idea.

I have grandsons with their inheritance.

Mr. K · 27 March 2007, 02:23 PM

no way. I am with the others. I would leave it to somebody else to enjoy.

Alex Stylianou · 27 March 2007, 03:14 PM

No . If I have Kids , It Will Be For them . If no kid's to my family members

greenfan · 27 March 2007, 04:43 PM

ROLEX will go to my daughters. The only problem is that I have two girls, so I´ll have to buy another ROLEX......

mansion · 27 March 2007, 05:28 PM

I'm taking everything with me.

Later, date undetermined yet. To a sunnier place, with no taxes, no boss, no cold days.

I'm planning on grabbing a nice little cloud, yes. That reminds me - must brush up on my harp lessons.

amanda · 27 March 2007, 06:55 PM

No I'd rather leave it to someone that I love.... for them to wear or even sell if they ever needed the cash desperately!

leopardprey · 27 March 2007, 09:02 PM

NO. They will be given away to close friends or relatives.

Rockrolex · 27 March 2007, 11:48 PM

I'm with the vast majority. Of course they stay above ground for others to enjoy.

LKNGOOD · 28 March 2007, 01:33 AM

No - I would love to have my daughter have it. She's my little princess (Now 2 years old) - Sshhh - Don't tell my wife she's no longer the baby in family - LOL.
