Newly Purchased Grail....1675 - Nipple Dial GMT

[HunterST]

My grail is on my wrist after a long wait and I had to share my new purchase. Over the years I've learned a lot from the online Rolex community and I owe a debt of gratitude.

My daily watch for 15 years has been a Datejust I purchased with a small inheritance upon the death of my Grandmother. And while I have been lucky enough to have several other watches through the years - a Sinn, a Rolex Oysterdate, and a few others - the Datejust has been my every day.

I first saw a Nipple Dial GMT TT 1675 when I was 20 and have wanted one ever since but they always seemed just out of reach. It was a well worn, stretched out, every day watch of an old girlfriend's father. He wore it year round - on the slopes in the winter, every day at work, and through summer after summer of water skiing. I always wanted one and am happy to say that I have just picked one up after 20 years of admiration and it hasn't left my wrist yet.

With the arrival of this watch, the Datejust is going to go in for a service and spend some time resting in the safe.
