Someday I'd like to own 2 expensive watches. My grails would be a Rolex DSSD and a Panerai PAM112.

Brad, we checked with your Mrs.... your grail is a Quartz Seiko from JCPenney.... wear it in good health my friend.

As far as watches go, I'm not a fan of the "G"-word. There are some highly desirable, hard-to-get ones out there, but we all know damn well that almost as soon as you have it, you start looking at other ones. This unfortunately does not only apply to watches, either.

Love that flick! I have to watch it at least every 2 weeks or so to keep my sanity at work!

Honestly, I have it. I'm totally done. I'm down to this one and my birth month/year 6105 (if I thought I wouldn't regret selling that one I would). I haven't even thought of buying anything else for a LONG time and I can't really think of anything else I'd rather have on the wrist.

I'm revising my grail list to two:
AP Jumbo 15202, not sure if I want the newest iteration or the last generation though.
Image

And of course the TTP '68.

I'm going to start saving my pennies (which means no Pelagos, 1675, or 5513 :crybaby: ).
