Wow, I missed a load of belated wishes here.
Thank you all again for your kind words and well wishes. I'm absolutely loving my Grail

When I got my SubC it was as much as a grail could be. I really don't consider any modern watch a true grail but by far the favorite Rolex I've owned over my 116600, 16660, my GMTc. Only watch I much prefer was my AP and I'm not even sure the fact it was of finer quality made it "better". Sometimes you just need a truck and not a Benz

Very nice! I have the no date and wear it the most from the 3 i have.
Tip, after a month or so do it in a glass of water with some dish soap and let it soak for 20 minutes and finish it with a soft toothbrush. What a difference!! Enjoy your watch

Aah, so not the RG, then. I thought that would fit in nicely with your collection. I'm a big fan of the rhodium version. Not sure if the platty dial is still in production? |
