I'd love a Nautilus. That's out of my reach.

I thought I was the only one who thought this . On this forum frequently "my grail watch" just means "my next watch". Either way I enjoy seeing all the pics.

I tried on a 126715CHNR (the solid rose gold GMT). Blew me away. Add that to my list.

Assuming I would be given the opportunity to buy one, I would be looking for a full spec 5517 with a Hudson letter and preferably some other military provenance.



If we're really dreaming it'd be a non-Burford dial A6538 milsub. To my knowledge there's only one known to exist in full original spec.



Other nods go to a CERN 1019, a FAP 6265 or a MOD 1016.

I had a similar experience when I first saw this watch on bracelet. Was floored and while I could pull it off dollar wise, I'd rather spend ~50k on a few pieces than own that one AP. Funds not an issue, would be among the first although I love it in steel as well.

A Patek minute Repeater or a Patek Certified Astronomer, that gorgeous watch with the heavens spread across the dial.

Made me have a good think this thread. Loving those Patek moon phase watches.

Think it would be Vintage 1971 DD YG Full set, Blue dial and President bracelet. Or GMT TT Rootbeer, nipple dial, full set

Probably a 5208P.

On a dark brown strap though. Don't like the black.

My End Game piece is A.Lange & Sohne 1815.
I want one more watch, and then I'll focus on the ALS.

Too many to list. I’d love to get matching platinum day date and Daytona one day.

Who made you the judge of TRF?

Our grails are personal. Why in the world would anyone criticize anyone for choosing a grail they can obtain?. There is a difference IMO between a grail and a fantasy.
