That is truly a beautiful watch. My favorite stories are about members hunting for their Grail timepiece and their reward in the end. Wonderful!

It's stunning! Huge congrats on getting your Grail. The hunt always is a big part of the fun, but the satisfaction of putting it on your wrist for the first time is unparalleled.
