My condolences on the death of your son. Be thankful for the 21 years you enjoyed, following his heart transplant.
As to how to deal with your watch collection. If your son was 59, that may say something about the time that might be available to you, to divest yourself of your watches. You imply that you have 30 Omegas. It might be a good idea to begin offering one for sale, here on the MB, and gauge the amount of time required to sell it, then multiply by 30. If your watch is right, and the price is right, it might sell pronto. So one at a time might be the way to go. On the other hand, if it takes a year to sell six of them.........!
I can sympathize with you in a way. I am likely close to being in what I assume is your age group, and I have about 130 watches and assorted other timepieces, a complete watch and clock repair workshop, hundreds of pounds of project or parts watches, and a lot of clocks. Our son is still with us, at age 48, and he has NO interest whatsoever in what I have spent 50 years gathering. What to do! Watch for my obituary, then camp out in my front yard and watch for the dumpster when it arrives.
