What is everyone's grail from Rolex? Why?

Mine is a white dialed Milgauss. I love the look as it is simply different from anything Rolex (Or anyone else for that matter) has to offer.

Thoughts?

Mine is a Day-Date in YG Presidential Band. I have a TT Datejust 16233 right now.

You, Sir, have very good taste!

I've always liked Subs--they remind me of my dad as he favors dive watches. But I also really dig the Explorer II (polar). It would be a tough decision if I had to make it now. I guess Sub date is the one I've wanted the longest, but I'm trying to keep an open mind these days.

Kanger · 14 July 2011, 07:30 AM

NOS DRSD full set with creamy aged dial to the perfection :)

mjclark32 · 14 July 2011, 07:48 AM

White gold sub!

The Archer · 14 July 2011, 08:10 AM

Great choices everyone!

HL65 · 14 July 2011, 08:13 AM

For me--1958 Big Crown Sub--4 Line 6538!! Runner up: 6263 PN.

Grumpy Badger · 14 July 2011, 08:14 AM

I'd sell important bits of myself for a MilSub. (in fact I've already offered Ken several spare body parts in exchange for his. Sadly, he declined!)

A combination of the rarity and wondering what action it might have seen make it beyond übercool in my book!

Melanotaenia · 14 July 2011, 08:15 AM

Comex

ManUtd · 14 July 2011, 08:15 AM

My first Rolex is my grail - because IMO it is the epitome of a classy/sporty Rolex.

mjm800 · 14 July 2011, 08:16 AM

For me it's the Sub LV 50th Anniversary. I've had many opportunities to buy one for some dumb reason I always end up getting something else.

I just love everything about that shiny green bezel. Ceramic just doesn't do it for me.

dddrees · 14 July 2011, 08:19 AM

A Rolex perpetual calendar moon phase.

alexhr · 14 July 2011, 08:21 AM

Paul Newman Daytona, Am I day dreaming?

ericdube · 14 July 2011, 08:21 AM

SS Daytona with White Dial. One of these days I'll own it, but for now there's still a couple on my short list I'll probably get before that (including a Milgauss GV.)

kareemthedream33 · 14 July 2011, 08:22 AM

YG DDII White Roman Dial

Ken, how about a grail that you don't already own?

One down for me, a gilt GMT with pcgs:

I would really love a 5513 or a 1016 though!

Annan · 14 July 2011, 09:30 AM

I just got my grail this year....a new TT DJ with white/Romans dial, super jubilee bracelet. This one just simply caught my eye some time back. To me, it's a classic Rolex. Have to admit however, I'm spending lots of time looking at Subs and GMT IIs now. Probably will not be for some time yet but one of these will be next.

stockjock1975 · 14 July 2011, 12:37 PM

For me it's the President......in Platinum!!!!!!!!!!!!

jrssv · 14 July 2011, 12:38 PM

I have it. My GMT IIc SS.

Based on your other posts I'm surprised don't have at least three of each!

Sunny Arizona · 14 July 2011, 12:41 PM

Not sure...I guess I'll know when I put it on.. If I could choose a non-Rolex maybe a IWC Big Pilot
I have never owned a 1680, good thing that one is coming tomorrow via FEDEX

chestercopperpot · 14 July 2011, 12:42 PM

gold president!

yessir69 · 14 July 2011, 12:43 PM

My 1967 feet first 5513, Mark III Daytona, and Platinum DD with glacier dial is my personal trifecta.

lamnyc · 14 July 2011, 01:14 PM

Newman Daytona, McQueen Explorer.

gwalker · 14 July 2011, 01:28 PM

Day Date 41mm President in gold. My father purchased a used one from a guy that was going through a divorce and got an incredible deal on it. To me its the most luxurious Rolex out there. I would like to have one but I don't wear a suit to work so I don't think I would want to wear it everyday and I think a Rolex is made to wear everyday.

rosspanics · 14 July 2011, 01:28 PM

Vintage: PN Daytona. Modern: WG Daytona.

Fearsome Puppy · 14 July 2011, 01:29 PM

Yatchmaster for me...

DG123 · 14 July 2011, 01:29 PM

36mm Oyster Perpetual no date silver dial !

GoonerStrike · 14 July 2011, 04:10 PM

16610 for me! rugged, sporty, awesome!
