Icon5 The time piece you cannot afford BUT ...

What’s the one watch you cannot pick up due to finances but would be an instant purchase if funds weren’t an issue.

I recently saw an AP RO in RG with a blue dial in the wild and was floored. I did some research on the MSRP and had to quickly forget I ever saw it.

Oh you mean the real definition of a grail watch? What absolutely nobody on the forums understands? Since when was the grail ever found people? I wish people would drop that term because everyone misuses grail.

I'd love a Nautilus. That's out of my reach.

The bracelet is really nice. If I got the strap I would probably change to rubber or a blue calf; the blue alligator is a bit much for me.

A Tornek-Rayville diver, yep that’s my answer and I’m sticking to it.


...or a Rainbow in WG, no...RG, no....YG, no...WG! Dammit, I would love one of these but would I actually wear it?

No....

Possibly one of these...if price and depreciation aren't factors.

Funny enough I don't have a grail. I know it's not fun but feels great.

Some nice Pateks and Breguets that I wouldn't mind owning. But this perpetual calendar in all gold would be nice. I'm a big fan of the BTR range. These have depreciated heavily (from the original 38K price) but they're still out of my budget.
