The grail exists, no doubt. But it's unobtainable.

♛- Yet to be determined, but a white 16520 is on the short list. (I believe that I'll be able to read it better than my old 116520)

I have nothing. I admire a lot of more expensive watches but don't really want them.

To be honest, I don't really have 1 watch that would be the ONE!
There are many beautiful watches out there, many of them too expensive for me to consider. When I started this journey a Rolex SubC was my dream. Once you own them you look for the next dream. I'm kind of playing with the idea of a classic dress watch now on a leather strap, in RG, but haven't seen one that truly sings to me for the money.
