That is kind of a game-changer, isn't it? Keep thinking about all these going to our 2 boys, but if I have grandkids, maybe they'll get one directly from me and the wife...

My Daughter gets my Explorer II, 16710, that I was wearing the day she was born. My Son gets my Submariner, 14060m, that I was wearing the day he was born. I'll have to figure out a way to divide the rest.

Who are my watches going to

Love this post I have 3 boys and have just got my 2nd Rolex a couple of months ago so I’ve now just put my name on the list for a steel skydweller and that will give them 1 each, I like the fact of being able to pass down something with a bit of sentiment but also will be worth something should they ever need it I hope they won’t and they will be passed on to their children as well,

I have four kids. Two girls and two boys. My two girls get to pick one each. The rest will be divided between my two boys as equally as possible. Hopefully during my lifetime.

It'll be easy, one and done. Finally got my 9 year old to wear the Swiss Army watch we got him, he looks all grown up wearing a watch.

My Grandson. He is already infatuated with my Sub whenever I am around.

This is a really heartwarming thread, guys. I love comments like "everything I do is for them" or "whatever he wants, when he wants it." My wife & I are recently married (~2yrs) but have been together for almost 8. When we do decide to have a child (we have decided on only one), whatever we have will go to raising that child in the happiest and most comfortable environment.

That being said, my father gave me my first (and only) Rolex two days before my wedding. I was floored and not expecting such a gift. It was his first gold Rolex. I plan on passing it down, so to speak, when the time is right.

Mine will likely go to the person who meets at the price I'm selling at. My belief is that giving a child that is under 5 a watch in the future will be similar to giving them a VCR.

Don’t blame them. It’s truly amazing!

It’s where I got to try on the platinum Daytona too

A hotel that’s figured out that if the kids are happy the parents are too. Thinking of going back next year once 2020 is firmly behind us.

I would like my watches to be sold so that the proceeds can be spent on a Viking longship and period costumes for the archers who will fire flaming arrows into the ship while it sails me into the ever after.

We have two young boys so obviously whatever I have will go to both.

I just need to work on getting a 2and Rolex and it'll probably be a good excuse why to get a 2nd when the Mrs questions the acquisition 🙂

This guy right here will get my watches. I always try to talk to him about the value and meaning of things so he understands how lucky he is to have a warm meal every day so he doesn’t take things for granted. He shows interest in my watches so that’s a plus.

Never really thought about giving one to my nice until I read some posts about it , might go this road

Thank you to every one posting on this thread as it really worms the heart and is nice to see around the forum.
