I think this Nadal would compliment my collection quite well.

If someone said “You can have literally any watch on Earth,” honestly ... I’d probably choose whatever I could turn into the biggest $ payoff.

But “What watch would I love to buy for myself and wear, if money were simply no object?” Maybe the Bao Dai moonphase, or one of the pyramid-stone dial DDs (coral and lapis lazuli are below, are there any others?).

Drooool ...

I think you’ve misunderstood what ‘grail’ actually means. Also, Indiana Jones found it in that film! Lol

When it comes to watches a grail is not literally something that does not exist, unless you seriously think a grail should mean the watch worn by Jesus or Santa or a Diplodocus, no it is a piece you cannot get easily and it may take many years, but it does exist and is obtainable.

I saw a Lange Zeitwork at WOS. That would be the watch I can’t afford but would buy if I could afford it.

I set a limit, in my minds eye, of spending no more than $100,000 on a watch. I came close with my 5980-1R, but when I started looking at Richard Mille; I had to say no more.

STOP SHOWING THAT 5270 with a chocolate crocodile strap....I feel it calling to me������
