Icon20 What Is Your Grail Watch?
Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far. Just wanting to know what everyone's watch of their dreams, or grail watch as it's commonly known is?

Feel free to post pictures too!

I have 2 grail watches that are both very different. My professional grail watch would be the Deepsea Challange as I love the design and the extremes of engineering that it represents and my grail dress watch would be the most expensive watch Rolex makes, the Pearlmaster Masterpiece Platinum 18956 BRIL

What's yours?

My grail watch is the Patek 5726 which was finally released on a steel bracelet this year:



I was also dreaming about the DDII, but after trying it on, I have to admit, it is too large for my wrist...

That Patek is very nice. I must admit I don't know a great deal about Patek's. How much does this particular model retail for?

WOW! That watch looks like it has seen many good years! I wish you good health as it no doubt continue's on the journey of life.

I am one of those people who loves a watch with scratches. Shows alot of history and character. The way I see it everyone has the same watch when they leave the factory, it's the years and years of ownership that makes them unique.

This Citizen 1300... not terribly expensive, but super tough and hard to find.

I finally acquired a TT, Bluesy Submariner (16613) my Rolex grail, so now I guess my new grail is a s/s hulk.

I love them! I love the Rose Gold one in particular but I wish they would give a Rose Gold Oyster or even Presidential bracelet as an option.

Patek 5726, steel case on steel bracelet = US$47600. Too much, but it's such an amazing time piece
