Not my first, nor my last, but definitely my grail watch forever.

Looks great.
I'm thinking a AP RO. My only worry is whether the bezel scratches. Does it scratch easily?

Thanks man! I would say it's probably similar to the Daytona. However after 2 bottles of Rose' any bezel will scratch!

GO FOR IT, the finishing of this one is just amazing!

I started out collecting Omegas but never considered any of them grails. So one day I decided to aim high and jump straight to a PP annual calendar. I was fortunate to achieve that goal two years ago:



Now the goal has been set even higher.

Grail achieved...

Finally attained mine today; the 18K yellow gold Rolex Yacht Master with MOP and ruby dial. The bookends are Breitling Chronomat Evolutions in SS with MOP dial and diamond bezel, and TT with blue face and gold subdials.

Updated from my previous post on this thread.

Originally my grail was an Omega Speedmaster and a Rolex Submariner. I then purchased the Omega. However, after some very bad experiences with Omega's head of customer care in the UK and Switzerland I sold the Speedy. (I do not want discuss the experiences) My new grails are the Explorer 1 and the Submariner. It will be a while before I get the Submariner but I have the Explorer 1 now. Best to stick with the Rolex Way in my subjective opinion.

The 5712 t dial. I love the asymmetrical dial layout, the sapphire case back revealing the master artistry of the caliber 240 and it's thick micro rotor, the rare tiffany &co stamp blends in with the entire design of the dial. It's discrete yet adds an extra dimension every time I look at it.

Also my one and only PM piece, I thought why not Patek? The value retention of this piece is great, and I bought it from a London dealer when I make US and HK dollars.

Could not be happier!
