What’s your grail watch?
Curious to know what everyone’s grail watches are. Please post pics! Mine’s the A. Lange & Söhne’s Datograph Tourbillon in silver or the one in platinum. Cheers all!

Already there, especially since it’s been discontinued as of this year

A fellow member posted a photo of that particular DD a couple of days ago and I have to say it is gorgeous. I had only ever seen it on the Rolex website which doesn't really do it justice when compared to seeing it in real photos. It is now one I would seriously consider if buying a DD where I wouldn't have thought about it before.
Good choices!

I do not have one since a true grail would be unobtainable

Gee... I dunno... I don't think watches occupy much of my thinking. I think there are far, far, far more important things in life.

To dream about a watch?????? I could easily get rid of the ones I have, and not look back much.

My first Rolex has strong sentimental value... so I would hate to part with that one. But the rest is just mundane toys.

Just the steel submariner. It’s always been my favourite and is the perfect watch for my life. While I do have a datejust, I never really wear it, so I consider myself a very contented one-watch-person.

This one. Which I have. I lusted after it for a number of years and love it's simplicity. The dial reminds me of pocket watches and it has an enamel dial.

Agree.

Reminds me of this a bit, one of the classiest watches ever built I think.

The one I’ll never have.

After all this time, I’m certain it doesn’t exist.

But forever I searched for it. It feels like I’ve tried everything.

40(ish) mm. Not too big. Not too small.
100 meter depth
Super strong lume
Date/day
Timing bezel
Wearable in any situation
Rubber strap
Deployant buckle
Durable

Love your answer! One watch is enough.
