no one knows that OP has the watches. No one, Not even the wife. There’s no evidence, no proof, nothing that would point to him for having the watches IF it was a private conversation (No text messages, no paper trails)— he could easily withhold that information if he wants to. Watches can easily be hidden. For all the wife and the police know, he could have just lost them, gave them away, etc. Also what do you mean? He can easily sell them to a random pawn shop in a different state/country years and years down the line if he wants to. No one’s gonna care/check a decade later.
