Maybe there is no such thing called Grail

[Ed Man]

I believe as "collectors" there may be no such thing as a true grail. Part of what drives the collector or hobby is the thrill of the chase and getting the next one. This is true in whatever it is you collect. There is always going to be a next one. If there is not you probably aren't a true collector but just enjoy owning a nice watch.

or its SS sibling.

Oh, well, either could be a grail for me.

funny similar tastes, I had the first one then flipped it, now I have the YMII so now I want the Platona, and when I get it and so on and so on

You're right, Tom. And so on and so on.

Grail - The never ending quest...

I agree, it's always something, I love my GMT IIc, but I "want" the PP 5711 blue... Just don't want to afford it yet...

The grail is not so much the watch but the time that it represents...time is so precious that it would be a shame to waste it looking at a watch...
