Well. This could be a long story, explaining that I kinda have my non-graily grail already. Or that the closest thing to a grail that I might actually pay up for at some point, for me is the Tudor Pelagos 39mm (as I feel that's how far I personally could go without babying the watch, or feeling stupid spending too much money on it.) Or that some other watches may become the grail.
However, the short story is that what basically is my grail, is the GS SBGV229 (or one of the other colour variants). And it's out of production... For a while now afaik. And, as I personally also want my grail watch to be bought new if I am to get any such piece, combined with me not being in the position to buy that kind of watch in the coming year or two: It's pretty much not going to happen.
Unless GS releases a new version of that watch that is. Sadly, the steel version which is much more permanent in the GS lineup, while very similar, is still not a grail for me in the same way. I simply think I won't be very fond of the weight of it on the bracelet, and I'm slightly worried it might be ever so slightly too dressy too. The titanium version is just about far enough over on the slightly sportier/casual side of things, due to the different design of its bracelet combined with the ever so slightly more subdued nature of the metal itself.
