Buzz Aldrin's lost Speedy Pro he wore EVA-ing on the moon.

Couldn't keep it if found, of course, but who could resist wearing it a bit before the MIB showed up to cart it off to the Smithsonian?

THE white gold 6265 Daytona that John Goldberger auctioned for charity last May would be my Holy Grail at any price point.

HODINKEE talking watches, Episode 3.
Ben: ...so, it’s a white gold 6265?
John: yeah.
Ben: the only one?
John: yeah.

I agree with CRM114 it would have to have some cool history to it. Buzz’s speedy is def high on the list, maybe tops.

If we are talking provenance aside...A really clean 5517 would be great.

How about a Grail AD, where no matter who wants what watch, they have it in stock at MSRP

Not a watch, but one watch, and be happy with it and move on.
