I really hope your buddy doesn't have his home broken into. If it does happen, I really hope the burglar doesn't steal the watches. That would be a shame. To the lawters out there, what would happen in that situation?
Side note, what self-respecting man would wear another man's watch? |

Time to replace with a look a like Rolex. Then let things just happen, when and if, she comes back with the watch and complains. Then ask her what has she done with the one she took away

I'd smash both of them with a hammer 100 times and put the hangtags on the bracelet toss them in the boxs with all accessories and when they opened them up to sapphire crystal covering their hands like sand at the beach and texted me.....

Sad situation, sorry to hear.
Have the lawyers negotiate it and let her choke on it. It's just a thing, though admittedly a fairly expensive thing. Once he gets his bearings he can buy a shiny new watch, or shiny new watches. Nothing like getting a new watch in the mail to cheer me up. PS - wait till the millenial boyfriend wakes up one morning and realizes he doesn't want to be laying in the same bed as a middle aged woman. I mean, I'm 48, and even I don't want to be laying in the same bed as a middle aged woman... Good luck to him.

Divorce
When my divorce was in process 30 years ago, there was a country western song about divorce that I remember well.
"She got the gold mine and I got the shaft." |

Shouldn't this be moved to "general"?

Are you not all assuming he doesn't deserve this. For all we know he could have done any number of miserable things to her. There are always 2 sides to a story and maybe she bought the watches anyway in the belief he deserved them and unknown to her he was not the person she thought he was.

Are Rolexes Considered Community Property?

When they say half of everything, they mean half of everything! Even if you own assets before a marriage you may be liable for their appreciation during the marriage should one divorce. A family member learned this the hard way |

What seems obvious to me is that her jewelry should be fair game for the same equitable division.
I'd imagine she has some nice jewelry if the OP has three Rolexes. If she's attached to any/all of it, maybe you can agree that she keeps her jewelry and you keep your watches... |

This thread is comical.
Things get split up during a divorce. It's too bad he left his rolex lying around. That said he'd get credit for one half the marital value in equitable distribution. So crying over it is just venting.

About 15 years ago, a neighbor in Florida was going through the same issues. When he caught his wife cheating, the wife said she was going to divorce him, so he engaged an attorney who said exactly what you've said here. Before any case was filed, the neighbor got in his 4x4 pickup truck and went on a rampage, driving into/through the house, over the stuff in the yard, and into anything he couldn't drive over. All the property was junk. She got half the market value of the property at time of filing, which for junk isn't much. He still had to pay off the loans on the junk. She tried to get the market value before it was trashed, but the judge ruled that at the time he trashed it the stuff was his property to dispose of as he saw fit, and though it may seem a bit crazy that he would trash his own stuff, she had no claim as there was no action underway that would protect the value on her behalf. I'm not a lawyer, and this is his side of the story, but I know she was telling everyone she didn't get anything out of the divorce. |

I would give them to her in a heartbeat if the judge ordered it. Otherwise he is going to order cash be paid instead. I would however open the case back and make sure that watch needed a new movement before I handed them over. Good luck to your buddy and I hope there are no kids involved. They are the ones who pay the most in a divorce.

My buddy back home, his ex-wife's new boyfriend is driving his old Harley. Tell me that wouldn't piss you off seeing him tooling around town on it.

Wait it gets worse. I've got another one.
My best friend from high school. A full bird Colonel in the Air Force. 26 years. The day that he submits his retirement packet he comes home from work and finds the locks on his house have been changed. He can't get in and calls his wife. No answer. Long story short this woman waited until the last minute of his career to divorce him to maximize her half of his retirement pension. To say that my friend was floored is an understatement. ![]() ![]() |
