Firstly... Condolences for your loss. Nobody should have to go through this.
Am I the only person here that sees this as something more than just money, though? He trusted you for a reason. He also enjoyed watches for something more than their value.
Imagine he knew of his passing ahead of time. Do you think he'd then say "don't tell my wife until I die."? I'd wager not. He wouldn't say that because he'd know his love for watches would still be traded for money and then used on things HE might not approve of.
If I were the person saying these words to a friend I'm entrusting 200k to, I'd 100% want him to keep them and ENJOY them for what they are... Not what their worth.
This is how I see it... Maybe I'm whack, idk. Usually I'm super conservative about these things but it seems like he knew what he was doing when he said what he said. Nobody seems to take those words into account just because of his death.
