if i managed to sell it, i top it up for brand new piece, but is that anyone's business? no.

i am here to share what I got, anything else is secondary.
you are 100% correct. i’m just stating that i don’t agree with you calling it your grail and then flipping it. if i got my grail i would not flip it. and yes you don’t have to answer to anyone what you do with it.

Let me be clear about it: That was a dust spot near 4, not a ding. You need better eyes.

While it's not "anyone's business", it's okay for the people commenting "great watch!" when it's not "anyone's business", but not okay for me to comment that you're going to flip what is supposedly your grail?

Great laugh for a weekend, while I wear and enjoy something that is truly mine.

Same here. I disagree with calling one watch your grail, and after getting it, choose to flip it.

Then again, some may even suggest that OP decided on flipping it even before getting the '64A because there's a quick buck to be made...

Oh sorry, it's not my business. My bad!

So you're from the "words mean something" school of thought? Need to get with the times, man...

Kind of a mute point - it will NEVER sell for anywhere near 80 grand!

I wonder who is more pathetic -- someone who needs to flip his grail, or someone actually owning his grail with zero intention to flip...

just spotted a better condition 5164a for sale locally. immediately sold the previous piece that has scratches and dings for it.
top up some cash and i am a happy man.

here's 2 of them side by side
black strap - newer
blue strap - sold, the older piece



here's the new piece with orange strap! flawless bezel!
