What is your grail of all grails?

Obviously pics are required. Here is mine.

For AP it would have to be current Laptimer (only dual chrono in the world).

I don't have a picture but I second what Paul said, Laptimer is #1 on the AP wishlist. I'm expecting one or two to pop up on TRF, and I will enjoy living vicariously through those owners when they do!

Since we're talking AP grails, I'll go with Tom's (GB-man) choice.

Eiseman's in Dallas has one. At least they did two weeks ago, and it was/is there for almost two months.

Well the question didn't state AP grail, so my grail would be either a RM Skull tourbillon, or a Patek 5213, if AP probably a RG Jumbo

Well I don't mind the design of some Hublots and for instance like their Carbon fibre dials, and unlike many I never really thought the BBs looked that much like the ROOs as the ROO octagon is so distinctive. My main issue was with the very high prices they charged for basic ETAs and then they had all these celebrities and footballers buying them and it all seemed like a bit of a con trick, an Emperor's Clothes trick. Recently they have added more substance to the brand and Biver's service is creditable, but the tarnish remains for me.

I think I may change my mind and go with Edo's choice, since it is a perpetual calendar (the more complications the better for me).
