What's your "grail" watch?
What's your holy grail watch? The one you would sell any other watches for. Mine is a 1980 red sub although a 5513 might be more realistic right now.
You? |

Rolex - Chocolate Daytona
AP - RG RC Both are realistic grails, ie obtainable in a few years rather than decades. |

No such watch exists for me. I have multiple grails--modern and vintage--Rolex and others and all have different meaning and equally important. Sorry....Cheers.

Once you get yor grail, you will start looking for the new grail :) that is why it is good to have many grails

I don't really want anything more expensive for my "grail" than a Daytona (White Dial)
Not sure why I haven't bought one b/c they are going up every year. |
