“Time comes for us all”

Tiiiiiiiiime

Is on my side

Yes

It is

Definitely buried with a watch.

No to being buried/cremated with a watch. I figure once I’m dead the one certainty is that I’ll be done with the things of this world.

You guys are thinking about been buried with an adored timepiece, while I am struggling with a next watch purchase, the community is effing weird. I am undecided between a ceramic Omega PO GMT or a ceramic Breitling AVI GMT watch. Since it will be my 3rd significant addition during the last 2 months, my adorable wife will probably send me to afterlife if she finds out. Appropriately my recent purchases are all black. I have been worn out by all the recent reviews of colourful dials, however I confess love for my blue dial Santos and grey dial Baume&Mercier Moonphase.

No "exit watch" for me. Hope to gain a few more watch before my time comes and I would like to pass my watches on to the next generation or the one following. We all go out of this world thy same way I came. Can't take nothing alone.

Invicta Joker.

I’m leaving this to my niece, but it’s of a similar mould

Yes - I’m thinking about whether one would be buried with a watch. Is it not reasonable to ask a bunch watch enthusiasts if they would be buried wearing a watch, considering everyone is taking about exit watches all of a sudden.

I hope to pass all my watches to my kids or nephews or their kids while I still have my mental faculties and just wear one of my quartz watches, hopefully my birth year watch, till I meet the maker.

I dunno the song, but it's from some horror movie in the 90s/2000s.... John what's his name from Roseanne was in it..

Enjoy my friend

I’ll get cremated so no watch … death is inevitable … enjoy life as much I can anyway!! 🍻

Pass the bacon and pancakes!!!

I am all in lol. The problem with being buried with a watch means that we will not be buying any more watches. In fact when my older brother passed away suddenly at a very young age, I was obligated to consult with an respected elder about certain items that he was entitled by ancient traditions to be buried with including a writing instrument and certain other tokens that his age, status, achievements were considered appropriate. There was no mention of a watch which his family kept to recall him.

There is that to consider… I appreciate that traditions are important, but there is also a level of curiosity about what is considered appropriate. I suppose I am guilty of certain assumptions here.

I suppose I just think of what those I have lost took with. My aunt was buried “dolled up”. My grandfather wore his golf club captain blazer. My mum’s cousin wore Mickey Mouse pyjamas and took a Mickey Mouse with him. A vintage Smiths and a mechanical pencil would be enough for me, with a little something for the ferryman.

Ah that's the original song. I heard it from this B movie Denzel was in in the 90s.

First video context, second video explains why it's a creepy song to me as a kid!

I'm going where there's no depression

To the lovely land that's free from care

I'll leave this world of toil and trouble

My home's in Heaven, I'm going there

I will not care about any of this, time or its measurement will be irrelevant. However, my conception is a bit more modern:

Aquamation here., But same basic idea.

Nope, organism’s die

Watches don’t, pass em on!

No need for watches when I leave this mortal coil...

And when I am in that better place...I know I won't care what happens to them.

Hopefully, they will find there way to other enthusiasts who will enjoy them and curate them for the next round of enthusiasts to enjoy for a brief time.

The sweeping or jumping seconds hand is my memento mori.

Some might say that watch should be buried without you. 'I' wouldn't say that, but some might.

Excellent!

I'll see if I can give a big picture answer. I'm nearly 70. I've had hacks, scams, and identity theft attempts. I like the internet and computers when I can see our watch photos, or cat photos, or watch AND cat photos, but I really wish it could be kept away from my bank records and medical records, and damn sure don't want computers completely controlling my state's power grid. I would have been just fine if a computer never got beyond being just a really cool toy, like a fancy old school hi-fi or camera. Inconvenient and a shame if it breaks, but no disaster.

Speaking of old school hi-fi, I at least have a fighting chance to fix it when it goes down. To speak to your confusion about those thinking hi-tech being magical: Do you yourself really have any idea at all how this stuff works? You might if you're a professional IT guy, or electronics/computer wizard, but otherwise I'm guessing not, and neither would about 99 out of a hundred people on a man-on-the-street interview. I can manipulate hi-tech stuff to a fair degree, but have no clue how it really works and am just a slave to it when it goes down. I'll unsubscribe from something I never subscribed to, and then two or three more subscriptions turn up, like those creatures in mythology where you cut off one head and it instantly grows two others. Or it offers thousands of options when I only need a few, or apps and functions seem to appear and disappear like, well, magic.

Is it that hard to keep up? What am I keeping up with? Every bit of news, weather, sports, games, information, dis-information, dat-information, an absolute 24/7 deluge of maybe useful but probably useless information that I now have to wade through and figure out how to access? I don't love technology. It's become a god, although a very false one. Because almost every new technological thing is invented to make our lives more comfortable and convenient. Comfort and Convenience are the real gods now, and technology is just a slave to Them. Comfort does need to serve us after a long day of exertion, but we have become lovers of Comfort and Convenience. These things will destroy us long before the difficulties of life will.

Can I use "beer o'clock?" Is it copyrighted? I'll have my people call your people.

I have never had my identity stolen and I’ve built more computers than I can remember. I mod game sytems. I’m literally in the car now on the way back with parts for one of my retro iPod mods. And I know how to keep my media stream turned down. (Most user agreements you click on without reading you gave those emails prrmission) We Twitch stream, we go to gaming and scifi cons. We have eight computers in a one bedroom apt. I generally don’t leave the house without a video game system. Tech is life. :) I truly hope I never get to the point where I can’t manage my tech. Probably my one real fear. I’ve been geek with a computer since I was a teen, and I will be to the end.

We'll get our people to have a confab, but take it from the horses mouth yes of course you can. Cheers 🍻

Damn now I’m thinking which one I should tell my wife to bury me with 😂😂😂

When St. Peter at the gate sees you wearing this, he'll smile and let you in.

You don't need to put ideas in her head.

😂😂😂😂
