No picture, because it simply does not exist. My grail is/would be a SS GMT II with ceramic pepsi bezel and brushed oyster bracelet, rather than PCLs. Or......maybe a super jubilee bracelet. I could be happy with either!!

As far as vintage Rolexs go, I would love to find a 1680 Red Sub in great condition but with some well-aged tritium markers.

Here's to hoping that I will find one someday!

Well my real grail would be a gold vintage 6062 moonphase which I absolutely , however that is defiantly financially unattainable, so my practical grail is a black dial 116520 Daytona.

You want to see a desirable vintage men's? Check this one. A grail of many, to be owned by a very precious few. It would certainly be near the top of my list. Rolex wise, If I could go out tomorrow and choose... It would likely be this one. Star Index Moonphase. A classic that trumps most any other. Complications, Elegance, and loads of Class. Absolutely timeless, never to be made again. Photo from John Goldbergers book: 100 Superlative ROLEX.

So many great choices above. Definitely one of these, and something interesting in the vintage Sub category like a milsub or Comex. There is also a IWC I absolutely want to have, the single hand Portugese Regulateur.
