DHL repeatedly sends emails and texts asking if you would like to change to a no signature required and deliver it at your door. I refused and ignored it. If I’m paying over a grand for a watch plus a few hundred in duties, damn right I want to be home and sign (I work from home 3 days of the week). No doorbell, knock on the door, just an email stating, your item has been delivered. I live in a stacked townhouse condo development where parcels go missing. I was not impressed with DHL that time. Perhaps it was just that driver as the other times DHL has rang my bell for a signature.

Damn this thread has me teared up. Sorry for your loss. I lost mine to the same disease 2013. Commented on this post earlier on the meaning of a crappy watch and what it means to me.

Showing symptoms is usually stage 4

My dad passed away 10 years ago from cancer. The day before he passed ,he decided no hospice but to die at home, he asked me to go in his drawer and grab a small box. He gave a watch his parents gave him on his 18th birthday, which would have been 1964. It’s a 34mm gold mechanical timex. I still remember him in a low, graspy voice, “now don’t go and try and sell this, or you’re going to be very disappointed.”

I’m not a fan of gold watches, but the rare time when I wear that watch (still works), I replaced my white gold wedding band with his gold wedding band to match.
