I admire you and your wife, this is my plan with my collection of watches and some cars in the future. Luckily, I have a few years left before I start this as my kids are 4 1\2 and 6 1\2yr old. My son who is the older one already knows when I have the Rolex and Panerai, last night I had something else other than those two brands and he would not leave me alone until he could read that it was a Breitling. Its so nice to see parents give to children like you have done.

What a gesture Tom...you're a generous father and I'm sure you're children realize how blessed they are. The "Fab Four" is a great lineup!

A title I am using either for a book I am writing or a chapter title of a book in the works will be something along the lines of,
"It's not how much things you have in your life - but rather, how much life you have in your things." Though you may not have taken my line - you have certainly taken my thought. Very nicely done!

Thanks again all for the nice comments!
I have gotten more joy out of these watches with my family wearing them then I or anyone could ever imagine I always believed in sharing my stuff with my kids long before I loose my health or for that matter my mind, I am still blessed to have both, hopefully still for quite some time!! Don't wait life is short enjoy my friends!! Cause times like this truly are PRICELESS !!  Tom |
