Explorer II black dial (once I receive it anyways). If I die before I receive that one then it will be my Tudor Pelagos : )

My son’s birth year watch. I’d like him to remember me with it. Maybe peeling it off my cooling body in a hospital ward might ruin the wearing experience for him though… hmm.

That rather depends on what I'm wearing at the time. If I die tomorrow it will be a limited edition Seiko Astron. Tuesday through to Friday I'm traveling and it will be my BLRO. If I survive beyond Friday (as anticipated) I'll have to get back to you.

There will be some flying and driving in bad weather happening next week, so for the next few days the strong money goes on the BLRO.

I'll be giving away or selling watches during my last days if I get any kind of warning. Don't want the hospital staff skipping "The List" and getting a Stainless Sports Model with zero effort. Years of waiting, Christmas cards for the staff, Tequila Tastings, countless unwanted Omegas & Tudors... they have no idea!

Hopefully my sky-dweller. Or a BLRO if I ever get one from my AD.

A Rolex Submariner ND-C. Don't own it now but as I get older and set the hobby aside it will be my one and only.

I haven't seen a dying person worried with a wrist watch, though I'm sure it must happen. Generally people turn inward during that time.

I’d like to be burnt in a gold dd36 with champagne dial, one day I will get one ideally for my 50th birthday (still a while away yet) should God allow me to make it!

My blue Omega AT 41. I can't see ever being without it. May wear it as my daily in the ever after.

Are you asking me to predict the exact day I will pass away?

Just joking

I’m assuming you’re subliminally asking which watch from my collection I prefer the most. Well, I’ve gone full circle over the many decades. My very first love was the zenith Daytona. It was my second Rolex watch back in the 80/90s and was only second because I couldn’t buy one. As soon as I was able to financially I bought one. Since then, over the ensuing decades, many watches have come and gone. My collection is complete(ish ) yet the deepest appreciation of a single timepiece has returned to the Rolex Daytona Zenith. As I said, it’s gone full circle

Thank you.

A bit of gallows humour on a freezing cold, grey Sunday morning never goes amiss - so long as the Universe doesn't mishear me!
