‘grail’ is a stupid term
...But what it does sorta accurately describe, is something that cannot be readily obtained even if one has the funds.
So for as cringe-worthy the term, I’d say this has been mine for the last few years. They pop up from time to time, but never in the right condition, and never when I have the funds available. One did earlier this summer, but I slept on it and missed out. Ultimately couldn’t really justify the absence of practicality so I bought a modern variant instead, all the while wishing I’d gotten this one instead.
Well, another popped up over the weekend – originally boutique-purchased, single owner, and an absolute safe-queen (hell, I’m not even sure the bracelet’s been sized) – and I had the funds ready to go...

Winning!
Re: ‘grail’ is a stupid term
Couldn't agree more. I'm really blown away by how crazy modern this thing looks and feels, despite coming from 2011. Was light years ahead of its time from a design and technical standpoint, but still nailed the dimensions. This thing with a Master Co-Ax would be a fucking screamer.
This is the Planet Ocean as far as I'm concerned.

Re: ‘grail’ is a stupid term
Yeah, it was just a wild guess. I knew it was an Omega, and my mind immediately went to the supposed "holy grail" of Speedmasters based on your subject line.

I agree that this with the Master Coxial motor would be stellar. As she sits I wouldn’t kick her off my wrist. ;-)dinexus wrote:Couldn't agree more.

Decent pair, if I don't say so myself.
Re: ‘grail’ is a stupid term
Congrats! I love mine. Best PO design they've ever done...followed closely by the normal 2201.50.
Re: ‘grail’ is a stupid term
Beautiful. Congratulations.

Re: ‘grail’ is a stupid term
To me a grail is a watch that you could never afford completely out of reach were you can only dream of like a Rolex Submariner from 1958 my birth year that I will never own due to price that's what I call a grail some thing all ways out of reach you will never own. Now the ones you can afford you told your self it was a grail is like the flavor of the week they all ways change so really there not a grail took me a long time collecting watches to figure that out. My first watch I thought was a grail was a Eterna Kontiki Super IFD and then it was another and another so the flavor of the week.
