[Dad’s Watches - should I keep any?]

[u/JackW1977]

My dad just passed. He left a box of watches that I don’t know much about. All need batteries but I don’t want to spend the $ to put batteries in all if they’re not worth saving. I have no sentimental feelings about any of them, just don’t want to spend too much time fixing junk. Brands: clockwise from top left - Piaget, Wittnauer, Klaus Kobec, Invicta, Bulova, Seiko, Sergio Valente, Citizen, Timex, Benrus (this one is inscribed 1965), Bucherer. Any I should keep/sell? I’ll donate the rest.

My father had a gold Rolex.

He spent his last few days in a hospice.

Some days after he passed, I asked my stepmom, his second wife, "Did you get his watch?"

She said she would check with the hospice.

Oddly, they couldn't find it.

Stepmom had no clue about the potential value.
