No grail(s) but I would like a nice ss datejust in a couple of years. Oh and a Reverso.

dafuture · 6 April 2017, 02:47 AM

Basel 2017 WG Daytona...for now.

esscaster · 6 April 2017, 02:52 AM

it keeps moving up the older and more well off i become but right now it's a platinum day-date II and a patek 5980

ras47 · 6 April 2017, 03:18 AM

I'm in the process of acquiring my holy grail right now. Working on a trade for a Pepsi GMT Master II for my Deepsea. I thought the Deepsea was it but it's been in a drawer in the box for two years. I've been wearing my Omega Seamaster the whole time.

My other "must have" is actually another Omega, a Speed Master of some kind. Still trying to decide which but leaning toward a Dark Side of the Moon.

My Pepsi GMT will be my daily watch. Doubt I'll ever take it off. I've been enthralled by the Pepsi ever since Magnum PI wore it. :)

Mine is Platinum DayDate, thats propably the top end of my newly started collecting honby. Lets see how long it takes to deserve it.

MyDadsAirKing · 6 April 2017, 03:25 AM

Currently a Daytona 116520

ras47 · 6 April 2017, 03:25 AM

The new Sea Dweller 43mm anniversary is also on my list and rising fast.

Geez, the longer I think about this topic the worse it gets! I'm starting to covet a nice simple DayDate too. Matching pair for the wife and I? This is getting out of hand!

If grail is nearly unobtainable then the Platona is the one for me. Although the DaytonaC I am waiting on is very much a grail too.

This is my next target. Funny there is a programme on the Holy Grail on right now in the background... in 30 minutes I'll tell you all where it is...

aeon888 · 6 April 2017, 04:39 AM

My holy grail is a No-date Patek Nautilus and Aquanaut

Although I am not sure when they will ever make one. LOL

jschark · 6 April 2017, 05:02 AM

5970g all day long

SodiumMonkey · 6 April 2017, 05:49 AM

My grail has been the A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk Minute Repeater for some time now. I doubt that I'll ever be able to own one, but I do dream of perhaps being able to own the regular Zeitwerk one day.

For strictly Rolex, my two would be the exact same as your two.

Platinum Daytona. The weight!!!

904VT · 16 May 2017, 03:03 AM

Platinum AL&S Datograph Up/Down

triethylborane · 16 May 2017, 03:09 AM

Jack Swigert's 1675/8.

Steve36Efc · 16 May 2017, 03:21 AM

it has been a Dblue over the last couple of years..... now I have that it's a WG Sub.

Viscount1961 · 16 May 2017, 03:55 AM

A Patek 3448 perpetual in white gold.
For Rolex, a triple calendar chrono. Not necessary actually to have been worn by a famous skier or emperor.
A Journe platinum tourbillion could scratch the itch.

tmw84 · 16 May 2017, 04:00 AM

This ^^

But this might be more attainable in my lifetime

Lemieux66 · 16 May 2017, 04:03 AM

DD40 in yellow gold, champagne baton dial.

saskmh · 16 May 2017, 04:07 AM

This!

....or a 5517.

TheRolexKingofLV · 16 May 2017, 04:09 AM

Newman Daytona for me!

Bob the brush · 16 May 2017, 04:31 AM

I'll have to be boring,but in my case realistic, and my grail is the new Air King.

jb335 · 16 May 2017, 05:06 AM

YG GMT with green dial.

spoilsofwar01 · 16 May 2017, 05:17 AM

5517 Mil sub, if anyone's got one knocking around the place and gathering dust that they no longer want......................... erhum!

sawhornsoff · 16 May 2017, 05:45 AM

Right now, the watch I'm waiting for is the blue SS Skydweller. It think it will be superb.

Maybe one day I'll be so grown-up, so secure, so confident and so wise that I will know that the only reason I haven't been able to obtain my grail is because I haven't progressed enough to know it is my grail.

Maybe, one day, I'll outgrow the constant yearning, and pass all my watches to my loved ones and go out and buy my grail.

When that day comes, I will have arrived. I will, (like the black-belt martial artist who understands that in order to advance any further he must once again don the white belt), understand that not having my grail was never a matter of insufficient money, but of insufficient maturity.

One day... when I'm wise enough...

Could not have said it better myself. This is exactly how I feel with the No date sub or an Explorer.

Less is more!
