The wait is finally over! My grail has arrived

Pictures dont do this watch justice. Just amazing in person. This is my first PM watch. Owning the 116500 I wasn’t sure how they would compare on the wrist until i wore both. My wife isn’t to happy about the purchase but I am lol. She told me I’m done. (Heard that before) At 6 now and I think after this one I’ll have to take a little break and agree with her.

Congrats! I love it. I can empathize with your wife not appreciating your passion (sickness), but hopefully she gets over it!

I usually dislike gold watches and green is not my favourite colour. But somehow the green dial and gold Daytona is sooo beautiful. Congrats.

Congrats!

In my opinion, no Rolex is nicer to wear than an all gold Daytona.
