Incoming Grail : Bluesy
So a little back story, year was 1996… I was enrolling for a semester in college while wearing my 16700. Rich kid son of a politician was in front of me wearing a Bluesy. I was very envious, not gonna lie. That’s pretty much it as the image of this watch stuck in my head like a sore thumb. While I was unboxing for the first time minutes ago, I must mumbled to myself “Oh my God” like 30 times!
I know not a grail status watch for most if not all here, but it is certainly for me :) Pardon the iPhone pics..     Royal blue brilliance can’t be captured by camera. One must see it in person. Here are pics compared to bright blue DJ dial and overcast picture.

Beautiful watch, congrats!
Will you keep your all blue collection or switch up the others now that you got your grail? |

Congratulations, this was a keystone piece for me as well. I'm convinced those that put this watch down are just jealous. It is classically beautiful and it looks great on you.
