2 and 4 are completely different animals. One is around $12,400 and the other $39,870 MSRP. Should I blow my load on one watch now, or save for my Grail Watch (5712/1A)?

Option 3. Tried one on in Athens last week and it’s an amazing piece!

Go for AP 3 now, still not easy to find at retail now, and keep your eye on the grail 4 in the future. That's where you want to land eventually.

Maybe your decision will come down to what you can acquire readily versus what might be a long wait on lists. I like option 2 but they are as rare as hen’s teeth unless you spring for the massive premium in the secondary market (I wouldn’t personally). Good luck.

You might look at the 39mm RO 15300.

I shouldn't have this problem...

#3 AP. It’s a great piece and will diversify your collection. Personally, I have doubled up like you are considering and eventually my collection got thinned back down.
