My grails are: Panerai 6152-1, Rolex 6538 4 line, Daytona 6263 PN, and 5513 Milsub.

Mission accomplished...May everyone get their grail sometime soon!

ExpII · 19 July 2011, 08:40 PM

Let's see, I have two grails I'll put in the attainable someday category (or so I think):

Rolex YGDD/w white roman dial
Patek Philippe Calatrava 5119R

And never going to happen unless I win the lottery:

Patek Philippe Calatrava Perpetual Calendar 5140G

errol0_7 · 19 July 2011, 09:14 PM

GOLD GMT IIC & Platinum day date for me

SWIMPRUF · 19 July 2011, 10:16 PM

BeekerMuppet · 19 July 2011, 10:34 PM

Grand Seiko 6146-8000 (Cal. 6146)
Rolex Explorer II Polar 16570 (Cal. 3186)

The very fact that it has a screw-down crown and is water-resistant to only 30m and costs $20,000 on a leather strap makes it a horribly impractical timepiece in my opinion, but one does not question too much the affairs of the heart.

What a stunning watch! Never seen it before. Thanks for mentioning

mfer · 19 July 2011, 10:45 PM

I have two Rolex grails and one ultimate.

One like what Ken just got...
http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=185853

And the other pure Rolex, 3,6,9 sub.

I'd love to have them, but don't see it happening...

My ultimate grail is NOT a Rolex, but Panerai/Angelus!

None of these pics are mine, just found them on the web.

Jibba · 20 July 2011, 01:12 AM

Grail = AP ROO Safari, Rubber Clad, Themes, Diver (unsure)
GRAIL = RM 011 or Rose Gold AP ROO

I think I'm drifting away from the entire grail concept. For years my GRAIL was a Sub Date, but I've found that my tastes have changed a bit, and this has opened my mind to a variety of watches. In my hunt for that one nice daily wearer I have a list of top contenders that I wouldn't call grails, but I'd be super happy to own any one of them. There really isn't that one watch that I've just got to have anymore.
Weird, huh?

Wow. Is that from the Marine series? I always thought the Marine Big Date was a stunner, and that model looks awfully nice, too!

Joe(UK) · 20 July 2011, 02:17 AM

my grail is either a AP ROO diver or a NOS sea-dweller but my GRAIL would be a NOS COMEX SD

Paracentesis · 20 July 2011, 02:23 AM

Grail: PP Nautilus 5712
GRAIL: Rolex Milsub 5517

Horologically, one makes the other look like a bargain, which is why I won't be getting the one!

Chipmunk · 20 July 2011, 02:24 AM

My grail: YG DD with ivory pyramid Romans.

My GRAIL: PN Daytona 6263

gwalker · 20 July 2011, 02:24 AM

GRAIL: any of George Daniels Millennium Watches

(It almost got me killed when I spent that on a boat, don't even want to think about spending that much on a watch)

Roxas · 20 July 2011, 03:24 AM

My grail is A. Lange & Sohne Datograph Platinum.

Yes!
That is the Marine Chrono in RG ref:5827BR/Z2/5ZU

Christiaan · 20 July 2011, 04:50 AM

Never had a singular grail piece, i've always wanted to complete my grail collection. 6 worldtimers in different metals plus 3 Rolex.

KarlFr · 20 July 2011, 05:02 AM

No Rolex grails for me but a few Patek and AP

warren G. · 20 July 2011, 06:12 AM

my grail : A.Lange & Sohne 101.027x
my GRAIL : Patek Philippe 5970 rose gold

my Rolex grail : 5513 Gilt
my GRAIL rolex : DRSD

rolexsweep · 20 July 2011, 06:47 AM

Grails... They keep changing because you end up buying it one day then you want something rarer and better

The Archer · 22 July 2011, 03:04 AM

My unattainable grail would be a Ulysse Nardin Tellurium J Kepler in yellow gold. Has a bunch of astronomical complication, 43mm diameter, etc.
If I ever have 116k to blow on a watch, that would be it.

dnagwhogas · 22 July 2011, 03:15 AM

A PN Daytona.

757doc001 · 22 July 2011, 04:51 AM

grail = white gold daytona, panda dial

GRAIL= DRSD

I too hope to obtain both and declare two more!

phelix_da_kat · 22 July 2011, 05:30 AM

No fair!! lol

As I learn more on this forum.. the more I want..

When I started, it was just to be able to afford one.
Then as I worked more I learnt about other Rolex.. it was a Daytona..
Next I learnt about vintage and got the Red Sub..

Just keeps getting out of hand!
