I like Eric Chans sentiment that achieving a grail is a once in a lifetime moment. Too many people seem to obtain a new "grail" every year. That is not a grail. It's just a watch you want a lot.

Exactly how I feel. A grail means different things to different people; to me needs to be really special to made a watch a grail.

Figuring out what your "true love" is in anything in life is a hard thing.. and a very fortunate occurrence. In watch terms, I will probably never have one grail since I love too many... so the journey continues!


These 2 are probably grail territory for me :-)
