What's your "Grail"?
A year and two months ago I purchased my first Rolex. since then it seems that every two or three months I have this urge to buy another. I buy, and I just don't feel that I have all that I need. Finally, I have realized that I needed to find my "Grail". Has anyone else had this similar feeling? If so have you found your "Grail", and what is it ?

I already have my realistic 'grail' but that does not stop me from hunting for my next watch

Yep. For me the grail was and is a DD. Since I've gotten the DD I've gotten several other watches. Getting a grail doesn't make other watches go away.

Rolex does make my "Grail" watch.

My grail would be a 14060M with an added 24hr hand and 24hr indexes between the lume

Patek World Time, but I have an issue with spending that much on just one watch.
