Finally got my Watch Grail!!
Hi All,
Having owned all the SS sports I have ever wanted - finally made the decision to get my grail. The 18238 - 1991 model. Full set. Not much stretch in the bracelet and wears beautifully. Lugs are in good shape. My wrist is small and even I find that this 36mm watch in all gold has a lot of wrist presence. Even though the links are hollow, the watch head is surprisingly heavy given the PM. This size is the max I think I would feel comfortable wearing out and about in YG. I find the President even more comfortable then the Jubilee. Today was a good day. I just always dreamed of owning this watch when I got into this hobby. Thanks All.

Congratz! I'm wearing mine right now.
The 36mm has a ton of presence, especially due to that President bracelet which frankly makes the watch. I'm also shocked at how comfortable the watch wears. The president bracelet may be the best bracelet I've ever worn. In 36mm, the watch comes off as elegant. There is no way getting away from its flashy nature but the understated size and classic design help balance out the watch. Once you go 40mm+ it takes on a much more sporty nature. |

Yep. That’s the Grail alright! Congrats!!
How big are your wrists? I’m debating whether to go 36 or 40 for the YG DD (7” wrist). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
