Tried on my grail yesterday

If they would do the sub in 18K WG with a black dial / bezel would be in trouble!

I just got this and it was my grail for a long time ! I have a sub c too so i was struggling with spending so much on the same watch in WG. But the blue dial truly sang to me. In fact it was the one i wanted until I discovered it was WG so got the regular a few years back.

But having worn the sub c I realized this was the watch for me. It was tough to part with the cash but now that I have it , its not going anywhere ! ( same goes for the sub c , no way can I part with that baby ).

Truly a marvellous choice of grail!!! My personal long-term grail would probably be the yellow gold Sub, but a gold Sub is the perfect grail in any gold type!

Beautiful, one of my grails as well. For now, I will have to live with Black and S/S rather than Blue and W/G.

Love this blue beauty and a grail for me too. The first PM Rolex I ever tried on and it left a major impression. It's magical indeed! Hope you get yours. Cheers!

This is the "ONE".

Once you figured that out, the rest is easy. Good choice by the way.

It flies under the radar as a PM watch. In my opinion it doesn’t get enough kudos. Other than a WG Daydate it’s the only other PM Watch I would even consider getting. And as others have said, anyone who has this beauty.....they know.

Simply stunning, now I see why I never see these pop up for sale ! Would have to sell off some of my gun collection to purchase one lol. Interesting to hear it's in WG also.
