I recently bought my son a new Sub for his college graduation. We had been looking at pre-owned since he was in High School. I also bought a GMT II for myself that I will 'pass on to him someday'. I can tell that he has my passion for watches and he will always remember this special time for us both. I'd love to hear stories about watches that gave been passed down or that will be. Anyone...?

ExplorerChris · 17 July 2014, 10:24 AM

I wish I had someone to pass my collection down to

Slculve · 17 July 2014, 10:29 AM

I'll send you my address...

Racerdj · 17 July 2014, 10:30 AM

That's my plan, if they have an interest for them. Luckily I have lots of kids so that is a good excuse to buy lots of watches ;-)

beshannon · 17 July 2014, 10:35 AM

My son can have them if he wants them . . .

never2late · 17 July 2014, 10:36 AM

I've already given my Son my Sub C (116610LN) and he'll get the Hulk (116610LV) and Bluesy (16613) when I'm gone. It pays to be an only child.

I bought the BLNR specifically to one day pass down to my newborn son. We called him Chalupa Batman in the womb (fans of the show The League will get that) so the BLNR seemed appropriate. I plan to wear it regularly until that day comes so it will be something he connects to me over the years.

Yup. Daughter will be getting a TT sub-c sunburst and Explorer I... and a third watch.

DULLYJAY · 17 July 2014, 11:08 AM

My son is five now. He sits on my lap now an turns the basel around quite frequently. The Sub 14060 will be his. Maybe 18 Bday.

vitalsignsrn · 17 July 2014, 11:09 AM

I don't have children of my own but I do have a niece and nephew I adore. They will get my watches.

Of course, they need to be nice to their aunt.

RC2 · 17 July 2014, 11:11 AM

Yup probably will give to them in their 20s when they r ready. I'll keep a few until i pass. But want to see them enjoy when I am still here to watch

Absolutely. My son will inherent everything I own, we're very close. I like to think I'll be around for another 25-30 years, however.

Muzz · 17 July 2014, 11:44 AM

The boys will get mine and if we have a girl (we better LOL) she will get my wife's watches. Plus they will have the ones we buy them along the way:)

Presa canary · 17 July 2014, 11:45 AM

God willing...

Nice one

I have given sons & daughters Omgeas and Rolexes

Time Collector · 17 July 2014, 12:13 PM

A little over a month ago, I did a "Hand Up" to my uncle who was always that perfect role model for me, I actually gave him a Rolex that I loved and was in my (then current) rotation. I truly believe that we should give our love ones their flowers while they/you are here. I also have kids that I have purchased watches for to mark an achievement or graduation. They will get the rest of my watch collection when the time comes.

Headshrinker · 17 July 2014, 12:22 PM

Two daughters, I guess they will have to do the Jennifer Aniston.

Same here! Lots of kids and now grand kids too! More watches should make them all happy!

Kyu · 17 July 2014, 12:34 PM

My sons getting majority of mine, the limited ones

Brucie D · 17 July 2014, 12:35 PM

My son will get this one someday as long as he works hard.

Yes of course.

ltmgeller · 17 July 2014, 01:05 PM

My kids have already claimed my watches. My daughter wants the BLNR. My son wants gold. I told them they can have them when they pry it off my gold dead arm. I think I'd like to be buried on my Pepsi 1675 if it wasn't such a wast of an amazing watch.

The_Walrus · 17 July 2014, 02:05 PM

I have two daughters so if they like them they can have them
