IWC Le Petit Prince Chrono. The book means a lot to me and it is such a beautiful watch. I think it will be within range for me one day, but it's definitely something I've got to save up for.

Absolute grail would be the VC 222, no chance I ever get that though.
Attainable grails I have way too many.
It was the Sinn 103 St, however I now think the Sinn is too thick. I've fulfilled my desire with the Nezumi Corbeau.
GO Panomatic Lunar.
Stainless steel I believe attainable within 10 years. Gold on the other hand, who knows
AP Code 11.59 perpetual calendar in rose gold. 99% sure I won't get one in this lifetime but maybe the next
I have searched for it but I don't think it exists.
Grand Seiko SBGA415. Just perfect. I think I'll be able to afford one in a couple years.
Fuchsia gmt on jubilee
I dont know if I would say it is my “grail” piece in the traditional sense but when the sbge275 was released It really hit for my tastes and wanted to see it in person. Ofc they sold out before I had a chance to look at them. I went back/forth for a year on buying one second hand until I ended up getting it from my wife as a wedding gift. Thats probably the most grail piece I will ever own, has value to me far beyond just being a watch.
The Rolex holy trinity of jubilee bat, green sub, and white Daytona.
The Edox 07002-3-C1 Geoscope limited edition tribute.
My DIL said she'd get it for me when I retire in 8 years. I really hope she can find one then, but I won't hold my breath.
Omega Speedy dark side of the moon.
Call me a basic bitch but a Santos. So very unlikely
Casio f91w, I have one
Mine is the F.P. Journe Chronomètre Furtif because it perfectly matches my wedding band. And I will never be able to afford it. Its fun to dream though :)
Either a Seamaster 300 or Tudor BB58. Neither of which I’ll ever be able to justifiably afford in my lifetime. My realistic grail is just a Sinn 556i RS.
My grail is a Lange 1, but the Zenith Chronomaster Original is the grail I likely to get. I wanted the Sport for a long time, but when I tried it on, it was a bit big for my wrist.
Omega Railmaster, not impossible, but quite unlikely since there are no AD in my country and the only places that have real Omegas are incredibly overpriced, so my only chance is to smuggle it coming back from a trip or something, provided Customs doesn't notice it, and the box comes alone via UPS or something.
Definitely the Seiko "Whirlpool" SBGH267 the face is just so amazing looking but they just go up in price because they were a limited unit.
I just want a Tissot PRX 80 with a blue dial
Zeitwerk Striking Time. Even if I could afford it, I'd never spend $100,000+ on a watch, so I'll never have it, but it would be cool to see in person if it lives up to the hype.
This is one of the watches on my grail list. The top for me is the new Omega Aqua Terra small seconds and the older Carl Bucherer Patravi Evotech
Mine is a Speed Master Sapphire sandwich hoping one day I’ll own one before I die.
Mine is the GS Snowflake that is in my watchbox
FP Journe quantieme perpetuel. Never gonna happen lmao
Handwound reverse panda Daytona with the red text. Likelyhood of obtaining it is probably zero.
Probably the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph in black ceramic
👨🏻🍳🤌🏼
My all-time favorite watch is the 5513 Sub, and fuck no I'll never afford one
Oooh the Chronomaster Sport is really awesome! I'd love to have one but it's alot of money, and something tells me I won't get them back 😬
Somewhat realistically, a Frederique Constant Manufacture Slimline Perpetual Calendar on a bracelet.. .. Last I checked they went for 7 to 8k Euro
VC 1921 historiques american. Not likely i'll ever have one
Oh man - I would loveeeee this watch.
Unrealistic grail that I’ll never own - A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Flyback Chronograph.
Realistic grail watch that I hope to own one day - Omega Speedmaster 3861 Sapphire Sandwich or Omega Speedmaster from my birth year (1990).
Cartier Santos medium. 5-6 years from now? Possibly. 10-15? Likely.
Not likely to get it anytime soon. There's just so many other ways I'd use that kind of money before $100k+ watch made the list.
Beautiful sir
OMEGA De Ville Prestige Co-Axial Chronometer 40MM . No way il ever be able to afford something like that though hahaha. Saw it in a nice store oneday and the dial really hypnotised me 😁. Its the one with the blueish dial.
Got mine and wear it as a daily. Just seems silly to buy a grail and never wear it. Lange or Patek is next on the list for the more special occasions.
VC overseas blue
