4 Stainless Steels vs 1 PM model

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to know if you prefer to own 4 different SS models or just 1 Grail PM model?

The total price of the 4 SS is roughly just the same as the One PM model.

I am just curious of what everyone thinks, are you a 1 grail watch person or the more is always the better?

Cheers!

This for me. I kept my sub date as that will be handed down to my kid. PM WG Sub is my daily.

I agree with this. Having an SS piece to alternate with feels ideal to me. I’ve been a 1 PM and 1 SS guy for 3 years and have been enjoying it

I agree with the above that one PM and One SS would be ideal. I’d probably go with a WG Daytona with blue dial and then a SS sub or GMT

Platinum Daytona, it also weighs about the same as 4 SS watches.






(I know that's not true platinum daytona 282g but it feels really heavy - still not got mine but oneday)

Considering the same thing. I’ll still have couple of SS Tudor(BB58 & BB Chrono) as my daily. My PM choice would be WG Sub or Rosegold GMT.

If out for an upscale dinner, it would be nice if I had that one heavy hitter PM, but for the other 95% of my activities, the 4 steel would be more fun and practical to own, so definitely 4 steel. Especially if a daytona and BLRO were in the mix.

1 grail PM for me!
What’s the point in having 4 ordinary stainless steel watches that you don’t love, surely makes sense to own the one special grail watch and wear it daily

I prefer SS so I would go with 4 SS but I guess it might depend on the models vs the 1 PM.

For me....it depends on which 4 and which 1 grail. Although no matter the grail, I’d want one SS to accompany it.
