What's your WISHWATCH ?

If you could have any new or vintage Rolex, what would it be? Find a picture and post it.

Here's mine. And, it's for sale ! ! !

I'm just learning the lingo - my grail will change as I see new and more desirable vintage Rolex. I'm also now beginning to look at the very early Men's rolex watches as they are small enoug for a woman to wear and I really like them. Love that 1955 triple chrono. Is that solid gold?

I don't think I could pick just one. I already own a few of my grails: a ladies' Heuer submariner, an Omega orange PO, a brand new Speedy Pro, and my latest, a brand new midsize silver opaline teak dial AT 8500. As you can see, when it comes to modern pieces, I prefer Omega's offerings. I do love the look of the Tudor snowflake milsubs, and would love to find a smaller one, but I don't think they even exist.

Realistically, a 116710. In my dream world, a RG Skydweller

If we're not restricted to Rolex, then a cal. 8500 Planet Ocean and a Lange Datograph Double Split would be nice too
