What's your vintage grail?

Mine is this Stainless Steel triple date chrono, only problem is it costs more than a new Mercedes E-Class sedan!

If a grail is the 1 watch you got to have and it means more than all the others I have mine already.I bought it new as a teenager and have worn it ever since. I have bought,sold,traded etc 100's of watches and somehow always go back to this 1.I wouldnt trade it for a milsub, daytona or a red letter 1.

Would love a DRSD with all the goodies! The 6263 would be nice, but my wife would notice that its different, whereas all the Sub's & SD's look the same to her!

Well an obtainable grail for me is a perfect 1675...if I'm lucky I will get it tomorrow!

But I would really love a gilt 5513 or a 6542. Wouldn't mind a 1665, 6263, etc...

Mine was the 1665 I just sold to Clay due to being laid off. Makes me sick.

Not sure I have a "grail"....But......

I have been looking for years for the "right" 1665 Great White......
I have owned three others and sold them all after a short time as they weren't "right".....
I finally found this one a couple of weeks ago........

Ah, the vintage dilemma, so many cool references, so little time [or $$, or both].
