What's your Grail Watch?

[coolhandluke]

I'm of the same mentality. However, most of the grail watches I will eventually pick up are from JLC.

A JLC is definitely on my list of three different pieces that I'd like to own someday. Not really grail watches, but I'd really like to own...

1. Rolex Submariner 124060 (41mm, no date, ceramic bezel insert)

2. Panerai Luminor (haven't narrowed it down to an exact model)

3. JLC Reverso (haven't narrowed it down to an exact model)

Yes to number 2, I don’t know which one either.

my grail list is like 7-8 million for 2 watches. Which leaves me about 11-12 million short.

That second sentence is the perfect signature line and applies here too...lol.

I don't know what it is about Panerai, but I've lusted after them for years. My two favorite watches when I first got into collecting were the Doxa 300 Sub (now I want a Sub 200 T-Graph instead) and the Panerai Luminor.

+1 for a Reverso. I politely ask to hold a few each year when I'm in Vegas for a trade show. There is a JLC store along the way to the event center that I walk past each day. I used to think I wanted one of their more complicated models. While they are impressive, I'm leaning more and more towards the monoface small-seconds Reverso. You can get them for a cost that lies between an Omega Speedmaster and a Rolex Day-Date.

Maybe one day.

Something tells me we would pick the same Luminor or be really close. The bronze one Stallone (one of his personal watches) he wore in expendables is cool (hate the strap). It’s rare though. https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auc...ference-pam00382-luminor-submersible-1950-a-2

I just really like most the luminor and/or submersibles

Ohh I’ve had a few milestones! First was the Omrga Seamaster 007! Below. Then the Rolex Submariner! Below! At the moment I am on the two tone kick! However, I’d love a gold day date or Speedmaster! oMG!

My grail watch would be a titanium cased diver, with large lume I could read by at night and which lume never faded, the watch powered by a self-winding automatic day/date movement which never needed repair, servicing or seals replacement, viewed through an unbreakable and unscratchable crystal surrounded by an unbreakable, unscratchable bezel ring. Just as soon as I find it, I will let you know the branding.

That’s a serious piece. My grail watch has to be the patek philippe aquanaut replica. I stumbled across it while browsing a local shop, and it really caught my eye. The blend of elegance and sporty design just blew me away.

I’ve always been into watches, and this one felt like the perfect addition to my collection. The way it sits on the wrist is just right, and I love how it’s versatile enough for any occasion. If you’re ever considering a piece that balances style and function, I totally recommend checking it out. It might surprise you!
