What is the real definition of a "grail" watch? Isn't it something that cannot be found or obtained? As in the "holy grail"? Or is it just the apex or peak of what you want?

culto · 25 November 2010, 12:35 PM

Gold GMT II C with a Green Dial

culto · 25 November 2010, 12:42 PM

I wouldn't turn away a white gold Daytona with a silver or black dial either

Steelfish · 25 November 2010, 12:51 PM

King Midas.....didn't know that Rolex made one. Thanks for sharing...

kelly56 · 25 November 2010, 01:02 PM

Vintage Daytona 6263.

AP ROO Team Alinghi Carbon

rpryan55 · 25 November 2010, 02:11 PM

I have Patek, Panerai, Cartier, Franck Muller, and Rolex. My grail was the 14060M.

DavidSW saw to it that I got one. I am a happy man.

Cabaiguan · 26 November 2010, 02:56 AM

I didn't know it when I bought it, but the Sub-C has turned out to be my "grail." I love it to the point of ignoring much of my other watches. It may wear off after a while, but this is the longest that I've been satisfied with just one watch.

HORNBLOWER · 26 November 2010, 03:08 AM

I like the 18k gmt with green maxi dial....oh yes!!!!!

topcat30093 · 26 November 2010, 03:35 AM

My ultimate grail piece.

Andad · 19 January 2011, 09:23 AM

I had my grail PN Daytona on my wrist but could not not spring for the 90K at the time.

TomcatSNK · 19 January 2011, 09:50 AM

Id like a gold PN as well one of the latest . .or the tiffany one also

redsrover · 19 January 2011, 10:13 AM

You're not talking about the Tiffany timepiece that's the size of a cash register are you??

learningtofly · 19 January 2011, 10:39 AM

Got mine, although a double-red wouldn't go amiss

Atomant · 19 January 2011, 10:49 AM

There is no grail, you just need to own every single piece of Rolex out there. Except the Leopard Daytona.

veidtadrian · 20 January 2011, 01:47 AM

My grail as well though I found it a bit heavy when I tried it on [I like relatively light watches]

Is this post still going. Ok my grail(s) are: a perfect 4 line 6538, a 5513 fully spec'd Milisub and finally a 6240 screw down 2 color white PN. Is that asking too much?? The Holy Rolex Trinity for me!! LOL.

Michael M. · 19 January 2011, 12:18 PM

6538 brevet

CEG · 19 January 2011, 10:33 PM

GMT IIc in Yellow Gold/Black dial

psv · 20 January 2011, 12:15 AM

Don't really believe in grails, but an original mint military Sub might come close.

Submarino · 20 January 2011, 01:33 AM

There's no such thing as a grail, I always end up getting another watch afterwards. I thought my grail was my AP ROO but I still look around. Perhaps a Double Red SD or a Platinum Patek Nautilus with black strap!

Sub'erman · 20 January 2011, 03:44 AM

WG Sub C blue dial... Hands down!!(out of my league, unless I hit the 7 numbers in the Lotto, though)

The French Dude · 20 January 2011, 04:21 AM

In my case, actually... just a Rolex !

Maxtor · 20 January 2011, 06:19 AM

The Shark (love that mod) if Rolex would do it as a factory option.

Gerardus · 20 January 2011, 06:54 AM

The DD 100% always was...

The GMT Master · 20 January 2011, 07:00 AM

In terms of Rolex, a 116710 - I would be exceptionally happy with one. In terms of my all-time grail, an A. Lange & Sohne Datograph is what really gets me excited!
