Rolex watch -- would u sell an inherited one to get out of financial difficulty?  

So true and I have to agree with you, It is hard to let go a material object because it does recollect the the memories of that person. You will always have memories and you can keep them alive in heart or when you talk to family members. No one can take those away from you as long as you choose to keep them alive which I am sure will because you are asking for advice on a difficult decision. Ultimately you will make the decision that it right for you so let you heart talk to you. Good Luck and take care.

Hi Emerillus,
Selling it would be the best thing to do under that dire financial need. We know how much Rolex watches cost now, especially the vintage edition. I am sure it can go a long way to solve financial problems. Of course, we have to part away the memories that it carries. It may be something we feel guilty or sorry but selling it is the right thing to do rather than, say, borrowing money or even doing illegal acts to solve financial problems:

Newtalent: You are right. The memories will always be there. Let us live in the thought that they who have left us, don't want to see us suffering, and, in a way, are even glad to have the Rolex watch helped us who are still struggling on earth.

Thanks to both of you!

Hi Recycledgoth,
I personally think it is indeed a difficult task. You very well understand the situation because you had been into one before.

It is hard to part away with something because you know that the owner of the property really valued it a lot and considered it precious to him. But, on the other hand, you have no other way to save you from financial difficulties except to sell it. It buys you out of problem and feed you than having it collect dust where you hid it.

Hi Newtalent,
Rather than it becoming useless because you are afraid of using it, might as well sell it to save you from financial difficulties. The memories stay with you forever and just be consoled with the thought that the valuable thing left by your parent has really helped you and your family. It had been used for a good purpose for people that they left and loved.

I think it would be a different thing with cash inheritance. Cash has to be spent --- it is our medium of financial transactions. It gets demonitized if kept for a long time. A Rolex watch is a rare to acquire or own, especially for the medium-income families. It also appreciates over time. You can acquire cash anytime but you can never find the same Rolex watch that you had. That is why the difficulty in deciding whether to sell it or not.

Hi Chulce,
Selling it would be a wise move to save you from financial difficulties. With a sure big sales over the Rolex watch that has become vintage and precious over time, let us be consoled with the fact that those who have left us ahead would be happy to see us, the living, saved and fed because of the valuable thing they left to us.

The memories for them will linger. Nobody can take that away from you. In a way, you may feel guilty doing it, but it was really needed for people whom they have left behind and loved, to live. You are right, we cannot take these material items with us when it is time for us to leave.

That is a wonderful answer giftsandbagscom. Yes the memories of our parents far out weigh the mechanical things which they left us.

Hi Rameshkumaar57,
You are so right, Ramesh. You may have to sell it when the chance comes. There are collectors who advertise to buy these kinds of watches. It is not good to have it repaired by local watch repairers. They had to be repaired by authorized Rolex centers which are not common in a place. And, if you had to repair it with them, it is so costly. Once repaired, they issue a certification as to what repairs were done on the watch. Such precious piece of item going to waste sometimes because we just hide it for fear of being stolen or taken forcibly from us.

Hi Myzire,
In effect, you are saying that material things do not replace any human being. I agree with you. Even if we part away these things, the memories attached to them do not go with them. They will always remain in us. We will always remember them.

Let us be consoled with the thought that they are happy wherever they are seeing us making use of the valuables they had left us.

Hi Cher913,
These are just material things, yes. But the sentimental value attached to them is beyond value. It may be sad having to part away the Rolex watch but what is more important in the circumstances is for you to feed your stomach and have financial freedom. I am sure with the huge sales of the watch, it will come a long way for the family. They who have left us, will be happy seeing us being able to make use of their valuable things.

Hi Lingli_78,
Rather than do illegal things to feed ourselves and where you have the Rolex watch to solve financial problem, might as well sell it. It will surely go a long way because of the high value attached to it. We may feel guilty and sad over having to part away with the watch, but we are sure they will understand it. You are selling the watch for a good purpose. The guilt and sad feeling will vanish in time.

Hi Missybear,
If in a really difficult situation and there is no other way to do, I would sell it, too. It would be hard but I should decide to do it to save myself and my family. Rather than keep it locked and garnering dust, might as well make it useful for us. I am sure my parents will understand. These may be valuable to them but I know they will be happy seeing us out of financial difficulty by the use of the valuable watch they left us.
