Learning about "grail" watches and how people see them has been awesome! Great thread!

I don't think I've decided on a grail, but the next few watches that I'll be getting are as follows:

1 - a YG daytona white dial lume markers -- I've always wanted this since I was 19, so it would be the closest thing to qualify for my grail and it's why it's what I'm saving up for now.

2 - SS Datejust Dome Oyster, for more casual settings.

3 - WG Sub c blue - this watch is downright sexy and I have to have it.

I hope to span the purchases out over a few years to enjoy each piece as it becomes mine and I associate good times with the watches. Maybe when I'm older I'll decide on my end-all-only-one grail that'd I'd want to be wearing at the Second Coming!

WG DD with the waves dial....mmmm.

(picture borrowed from paverman)

That's my grail...certainly won't be my next watch...hopefully I'll have the opportunity to own one someday, but who really knows? I'm sure I wouldn't mind a GMT while I save up

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

I'm pretty happy with my Sub-c LV. I honestly never get tired of looking at it and wear it often. Prior to that it was the WG Sub-c Blue (aka smurf blue), but wearing both at the store, I really like mine. My other watches don't see much wrist time since. Cheers.

htc8p · 8 April 2011, 02:08 PM

when i reach my goal of 3. i would consider them my grail.

I'm torn, yellow gold DD, except I hate PCL's. Therefore, likely the white gold blue sub. But wait, that has PCL's too, right?

Yep. For me the grail was and is a DD. Since I've gotten the DD I've gotten several other watches. Getting a grail doesn't make other watches go away.

Platinum Pres. DD with meteorite dial.

As soon as I find the perfect meteorite dial!!

klayface · 27 April 2011, 04:01 AM

My realistic grail was a Ss daytona with a white dial but that went out the window last week when I bought it. But for now if I could insist on another one it would be a Philip Pateke Grand complications.

Michael M. · 27 April 2011, 10:10 AM

I'd say a Ref.6036 triple date chrono in YG!

MB7000 · 27 April 2011, 10:20 AM

without a doubt, My grail is the YG day-date with diamond meteorite dial. I will look to buy one this year. I'll have to sell my 18038 first

Beeper · 27 April 2011, 10:29 AM

I'll keep dreaming as I wait for the lottery to finally go my way...

Exquisite taste. Those are mine as well.

An SS Daytona is more attainable right now

Mockingbird · 27 April 2011, 11:49 AM

My obtainable grail (might sell a piece to help fund it though):

And my unobtainable (would need to sell the apartment to get it):

renfield33 · 27 April 2011, 11:51 AM

realistic grail is PP calatrava.
