My grail would be the Meteorite Daytona in white gold. But that may change in time.

Other than the fact that I've pretty much got all my grail Rolexes, this is the only one I'm missing that I would consider my grail.

Hi Friends!!
I´m delighted to find how many responses brought this post!
You built an interesting thread here!
It´s evident that everybody here has a very clear idea of which is his own Grial Rolex!

Many, many great watches have been shown. Some truly one of a kind.
Some of you already own your Grail, others, like me, keep dreaming for the moment.

Everybody is having a fun time talking about Grail Rolex!
Wish those of you that already got it, keep enjoying them in good health. Congrats for your great finds!
To those who keep dreaming (me included) I wish our Grail Rolex will come soon.
Thanks for your answers and sharing those beauties.
Best cordial regards from Argentina!!
Abel

Hi Karis!!
DD... Great!
But keep thinking and try to decide its config.
Dreams come true in any moment, and you need to know exactly how your Grial Rolex should look!
Kind regards, Abel

anyone of the following, would be grail and simply amazing, one day, one day...but for a non-ice love the WG/MOP/bracelet with roman numerals, simply beautiful and the pics dont do it any justice

SubDiver · 5 March 2009, 03:36 PM

Solid 18k Yellow Gold GMT-II or Submariner

007Sub · 5 March 2009, 04:28 PM

I definitely love the old subs with no crown guards... but i actually prefer a perfect 5513 maybe with a maxi dial (cant get enough of that creamy vintage tritium)... or an older one with pointed guards...those are nice. I love the 5512s too. No one has mentioned those yet.

Hi Greg!! Thanks for your comment.
I agrre with you. Those two variants of Sub 5512 and 5513 are great ones.
My second choice after my no guards Grial choice.
5512 due to its historical importance as first guard model.
5513, was my first Rolex, my first Sub, and lost in an armed robbery I was victim of. I wish I´ll replace it in a near future. That was a great watch bought in 1966 brand new. I really miss that watch!

Thanks again for your sharing.
Kind regards, Abel

This is my TOP 3 :

1. Daytona Paul Newman Dial (Panda Face)
2. Military Sub
3. Explorer II McQueen.

Parachrom · 5 March 2009, 10:19 PM

My grail is the 18kt yellow gold blue or black dialed sub with saphire index markers. heck even without. It is one stunning watch. I love the cobalt blue of it. "But the gold... it calls to me" I have to get one before I die.

pricojorge · 6 March 2009, 12:46 AM

i love my Sea Dweller to death, i never take it off, i guess i'll call that my grail rolex
but my other grail watches would be my daytonas
White gold (black dial, and gray dial)

ergaster · 6 March 2009, 12:52 AM

For me it's always been the Polar Explorer II - still can't believe I've got one after wanting one for so long!
