Sold them before death...of course, that's assuming death did not come suddenly sooner than expected.
In that event, my wife has the fully catalogued collection with prices paid and market value and the best places to market them.
That old Boy Scout motto about being prepared 😉
Leaving my collection to my son. He’s already saying he will sell them all…I don’t care, I’m dead! 🤪
My son will have a nice few pieces to wear..
What a morbid thread 🤦🏻♂️
Distributed between close friends and family as keepsakes
I can see you pointing at your mechanical Seiko on your wrist, telling St Peter, “I’ve got more time”.
St. Peter responds, “@AussiewatchIdiot, that Seiko has been loosing 30 seconds a day for decades.”
Leaving to my son's. They already stand in front of the watch box and divvy up who gets what.
If I'm dead, I can't do anything, so...
They'll be loaded onto the ship with me to be burned as it sails out to sea so that they will accompany me to Valhalla.

“Dib dib, dob dob”?
That’s all I remember from scouts 😂
My children will spilt them up. However, I hopefully will have done most of that before I die. I think it will mean more to gift than them picking them.

Hail Ragnar!🤣

Asked my wife, and told me she would leave them to my youngest; she has a budding collection of casios and timexes

Nice. We have 5 children. So I guess my goal will be to get to 20 watches so each child and spouse gets 2 watches. I’ve got 12 more watches to buy to meet that goal.😂 More if I change the number to 3.
I've already distributed most of the family watches that were handed down to me. Not worrying about my personal stuff at all, that can be easily sold or handed out when I'm dead.
I will continue the family tradition of leaving an estate that burdens heirs until their own death. Of course the bulk of the family is modern, consumerist, and wasteful, so I expect vintage gold watches to go straight to the dump with everything else. At best a few will be tossed in a drawer for a few decades, which is how I got them in the first place.
Throw em in the casket with me 🪦
My biggest fear is that my wife will sell my watches for how much I told her I paid for them…
As I have said before, I will lock them in a safe with a timer. After a “waitlist” period, the safe will unlock. Figure they should experience some of my pain to earn them.
