I understand the biggest Rolex AD is in heaven, but if you go to hell you have to wear Rado.

This thread doesn't warrant serious answers.

ALL my possessions will be buried with me. Useful servants for the afterlife will also be buried with me including my accountant, personal trainer, and secretary.

On second thought, maybe I'll leave it all to the kids.

I've told the kids that I want to take it all with me...

Watches, cars, toys, and cash.........just dig a bigger hole and toss it in with me..

I'm sure they will carry out my wishes..........

Besides if anyone sees you wearing a rolex, you'll get a visitor that evening. You know what I mean?

I'll pass them to my Son, its against the law in the UK to exhume any animal or human without Court permission so I wouldn't want him to get a criminal record

I definitely want to be buried with one rolex..and prefereably they will set the watch to minute of my demise..I would want a watch on anyway so that I am seen in what I wore in life..so why not be buried with one that I honestly would have worn...
