Already gave my 16600 SD to my daughter. She loves it and I love seeing her wear it!

Keep it, print it out and present it to him with the watch!!!!

When my son was born I texted my AD from the delivery room and bought my son a Hulk right then with the card in his name and dated the day of his birth. This was back in 2013, he has no clue.

Here is a pic of it before I put in the vault

SPECTACULAR!!
I will do something like that for the Grandkids….

My son will get my Batman which is his birth year watch probably during college. The rest of my watches he'll have to wait much longer for.

I have a similar story to many here, but with a slight twist. I had a DateJust 16013 that I purchased when I was 25. When my son turned 25 I considered getting him a nice watch and the one he wanted was the same specs as my DJ. I figured it gave me an opportunity to start my collection all over! So I gave him my 16013 Datejust when he turned 25 and he wears it all the time. I had it serviced before I gave it to him and the jubilee band rebuilt. He is much easier on watches than I am and it still looks brand new.

Not sure what I will do with my current collection. May sell them for medical care when the time comes?

Have given my 214270 39mm Explorer dated 2019 to my grandson born 2019. In safekeeping till he's 18 or 21.

II gave my daughter white Milgauss for her 21st birthday (now 12 years ago).

Her reaction is priceless!

I remember when you posted this video a couple years back. Her reaction is priceless. Is this still her one and only Rolex?

Hillg2784 · 4 May 2024, 09:18 AM

For my first son I have a 2017 blusey from 2017

My second son will get a sub also from his birth year, actually acquired two before he was born.

And my daughter will get a dj41 tt in rose gold with brown dial also from 2019

Bluesy looks great! I’m sure he’ll love it!

aboutime · 4 May 2024, 01:41 PM

No kids, two nephews. I’ll see who treats me the best in my older age… both are too young to care about watches or really appreciate anything that is of ‘value’.

JSCP · 4 May 2024, 02:08 PM

My goddaughter ,11 yo now ) will get a gold Cartier Panther Vendomewith diamond bezel, and a Rolex Datejust 1987 36mm, steel I bought @my first job after grad school. She has an Apple watch I gave, which she loves. But she will get very some nice jewelry I have saved for her.

My nephew, in finance, a modern Rolex from my collection that’s not sold when I’m much older….retired in 5 years? But I already gave him an Omega Seamaster Sub.

My last watch to keep until I’m gone will be a DD-40mm yellow gold and will go to
my partner.

it’s nice though to give sone while we are here…my dad did that with me (several). It’s nice they can say now: “my uncle gifted this one!”.

😊

Matty99365 · 5 May 2024, 02:26 PM

I’ve specifically bought my girls an OP31 each which are put away for them. They will of course then receive all of ‘my’ watches too when I’m dead.

geoach · 5 May 2024, 07:47 PM

I gave my two sons Rolex when they got their Masters degree.16610 and sub none date.

East of Eden · 5 May 2024, 10:54 PM

I don’t assume my kids will have any interest in my watches, but at the least they can sell them for some something they do appreciate

fishingbear · 5 May 2024, 11:44 PM

This one will go to my son, he was born in 2003

Kiddodoc · 6 May 2024, 12:10 AM

I plan on giving my son a 16710 GMT with all 3 bezels and both an oyster and jubilee bracelets. He will inherit my 1680 and OQ DD as well but when I am gone. I have many more but may down size my collection over time. I plan to give one each to my stepsons too.

That’s a whole collection in one! Love the 16710 for the versatility; perfect first piece!

jamesbondOO7 · 6 May 2024, 01:05 AM

I hope I will have the time to sell my watches before I croak as I have nobody in the family remotely interested.

MichelleP · 6 May 2024, 02:04 AM

No kids but 2 nieces and a nephew as well as 2 older sisters. I've already bought them each a Rolex along with other watches. My oldest niece is the most into watches (she has 2 Rolexes already). My will says oldest gets 1st pick. My nephew has already chosen my 50th Silver Snoopy. My oldest niece wants my DD RG Olive. The youngest hasn't decided yet. She's likes larger watches, currently has the Explorer II Polar 42mm. She will probably get the BLRO.

Mom's 1989 DJ President was recently handed down to my wife's daughter.
