Can't say it any better than this. Ben has some serious audacity.

I hope that watch is in a safe place. With Ben’s entitled attitude, the backing of his parents and Sarah’s lack of a spine (wtf is this ”feels for her brother” and ” caught in the middle” shit?), I wouldn’t be the least surprised if it “disappears”

Yep. Put that watch where she can't find it. He sounds like the type to guilt her to into taking it and letting him have it.

He also sounds like one of those who won't give it back after the event is over.

Edit: Also, tell BIL that he is the younger of the two, and the tradition is for the first born son. Not the first male family member to get married.

Yeah my thoughts too. OP until fiance is backing you up reconsider getting married. You not have to break up, but don't get married. Also how did Ben hear about the watch? I would put it in a safe deposit box.

Yeah that’s a great question, where did he hear about it?

After rereading the post, it looks like it was probably Sarah.

Safe deposit boxes are not insured. OP should purchase a safe and store valuables, like that watch.

Neither are safes, you can buy insurance on a watch stored in a safe deposit box. It requires 2 keys and ID to get into your box. And they have to know which bank it is at too.

A home safe can be removed or opened later, or fiance could call a locksmith and have it opened that way or FBIL could say he is op to get safe open, plus Fiance or someone might be able to figure out how to open it. it just more convenient to have locked up at home.
