I think I've taken this concept as far / low as it can go. Your Rolex and your final resting place !

Lion · 3 July 2013, 01:54 AM

My watches will go to my son before I die and anyways...I plan on being cremated and my ashes spread in the garden. I would hate see fine mechanical watches placed in an urn and stuck up on a fireplace mantel somewhere or in a vault at the cemetery.....

kilyung · 3 July 2013, 02:10 AM

That's grim.

swils8610 · 3 July 2013, 02:15 AM

Yikes!!!

Cesium133 · 3 July 2013, 02:15 AM

Well, better to have the watch in front of the headstone rather than 6' under it.

77T · 3 July 2013, 02:29 AM

Wow...not going to think about that for me!

But do wonder how many Rolexes are buried each year...

lja1821 · 3 July 2013, 02:31 AM

Talk about a morbid thread!

Daytona-Dan · 3 July 2013, 02:36 AM

I've hear they can turn your cremated ashes into a diamond using the same process of creating synthetic diamonds (heat and pressure).
Sounds pretty cool to me!

Throw me in the ocean and let me be recycled.

Sans watches.

SearChart · 3 July 2013, 03:54 AM

I think this goes a bit too far.

perpetualman88 · 3 July 2013, 04:00 AM

I think you all are too cynical lol

I for one am going to live forever

JJL · 3 July 2013, 04:02 AM

whoa, let's not get ahead of ourselves. This is a good reminder for all of us to enjoy life while we have it.

Thanks for your comments - I thought I would get a mixed bag of replies.

BTW my collection will go to my sister, as I'm single.

Bangel · 3 July 2013, 08:32 PM

That's certainly a different type of watch box for long term storage!

Here's hoping the second date on that headstone won't need to be filled in for a very, very long time.

SUBversive · 3 July 2013, 08:57 PM

mjclark32 · 3 July 2013, 09:02 PM

Ummmmm... Nice watch...

FeelingTheBlues · 3 July 2013, 09:58 PM

I shall have my ashes put in a vintage Grandes Complications pocket watch which shall then be thrown at the bottom of the Atlantic sea, my apologies to whoever would have loved to own said watch...

As my friend BB King used to say, may I live forever and may you live forever and a day because I don't want to be here when you pass away!

VICI · 3 July 2013, 10:06 PM

Why would anyone want to get buried with a watch?

Pass it on the someone who'll appreciate the piece(s)

PM me if you are in the charitable mood :) applying for 501(c)(3) status :)))

Speed · 4 July 2013, 07:45 AM

Yeesh.

Couldn't you have just reported another Smash and Grab?

;-)

kuya808 · 4 July 2013, 07:50 AM

My watches will go to my kids before I go.

powerband · 4 July 2013, 08:03 AM

Who's turned on by this?

vintagewaferthin · 4 July 2013, 08:40 AM

My watches will go to family or my kids( if i ever have any) before i pass away. This is such a morbid thread. Can somebody please lock this?

porschejeff · 4 July 2013, 09:06 AM

Kind of like those people that get so attached to their vehicle and want to be buried in it. Not for me. I'll pass.

T. Ferguson · 4 July 2013, 09:15 AM

Being laid to rest with my Rolex would finally give me a decent reason to get a winder.

HL65 · 4 July 2013, 09:39 AM

No comment.

landroverking · 4 July 2013, 09:47 AM

Well I want my body parts in other people. If I haven't worn them out.
