I agree... the Daytona is my grail simply because of the price... I'd have to have lots and lots of money to buy that beauty

boa2 · 5 March 2009, 08:08 AM

Probably a PT Day Date

And a 6263 for my wife...it's her desktop background.

AIKO · 5 March 2009, 08:11 AM

There are three Rolex which are tops in my mind-Sub LV, EXP II white and Sea Dweller. I like them all equally. I got the Sub first and the others will come with time.

Also, the IWC Portuguese is an eventual grail for me.

DanP · 5 March 2009, 08:20 AM

GV for me folks

I know it's not vintage or as sought after as the others, but it holds a special place in my heart and will own it and wear it everyday forever

cody p · 5 March 2009, 08:21 AM

a bnib early sub or gmt sans crown guards. yeah right!

WatchSmith · 5 March 2009, 08:22 AM

The GMT IIc exceeds all my expectations, therefore I would consider it my grail watch.

sea-dweller · 5 March 2009, 09:06 AM

Paul Newman Daytona, GMT 1675 complete with boxes/papers, 18K gold Sub 16618, or current model black face SS Daytona...

Here you go.

Certainly not my watch or photo, but my dream as well.

MrRetep · 5 March 2009, 10:50 AM

18k Day Date II...nuff' said

okay i lied..well not really..i have two grails! White Gold Daytona, Arabic Numerals black dial...

Bisquitlips · 5 March 2009, 10:53 AM

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

it is hard to resist. I kept thinking about it day and night and eventually i ended up going home with one.

Wildwing · 5 March 2009, 11:25 AM

Yellow gold Day Date, white dial, stick markers. The iconic Rolex.

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

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 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

I totally agree. Any Paul Newman dial daytona whether vintage or new are my choice of holy grail watches. But those are not currently economically feasible for me to afford right now. But I'm very happy with my current watch that I recently purchased.

Starwalker · 5 March 2009, 03:30 PM

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.
