Mine is the zenith chronomaster sport in white. I'll be optimistic and say that I'm somewhat likely to get it but not for a while, and by the time I have the money maybe I'll have a different grail. Idk tho because this watch is stunning.

Lmk what yours is and add a picture if you can. Some of you might already even have theirs.

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.

[–] witch-finder@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It was the Sinn 103 St, however I now think the Sinn is too thick. I've fulfilled my desire with the Nezumi Corbeau.

[–] MattSellers@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

GO Panomatic Lunar.

Stainless steel I believe attainable within 10 years. Gold on the other hand, who knows

[–] Tekrion@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

AP Code 11.59 perpetual calendar in rose gold. 99% sure I won't get one in this lifetime but maybe the next

[–] Ruckus886@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I have searched for it but I don't think it exists.

[–] TheBlackSheepBoy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Grand Seiko SBGA415. Just perfect. I think I'll be able to afford one in a couple years.

Fuchsia gmt on jubilee

[–] Rapph@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Russell_Steapot@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] ziggyjoe212@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Omega Speedy dark side of the moon.

[–] No_Opportunity_1502@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Call me a basic bitch but a Santos. So very unlikely

[–] sandyknuckles@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Casio f91w, I have one

[–] klaes_drummer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

VC 1921. Yeah, it's never gonna happen.

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 :)

[–] TurtleTruths@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] DonutCop1967@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] b14ckcr0w@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] albinosquid6@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] biadyy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I just want a Tissot PRX 80 with a blue dial

[–] Dark1000@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] vectorgeek@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] GreyLaser@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Anordain Model 1 Fume. I'll have it in 3-4 years.

Mine is a Speed Master Sapphire sandwich hoping one day I’ll own one before I die.

[–] JohnyDangerous@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mine is the GS Snowflake that is in my watchbox

[–] zjquid@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

FP Journe quantieme perpetuel. Never gonna happen lmao

[–] showergoblin@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Right now it is the Omega Globemaster Annual Calendar since I just purchased my Speedy.

Probably the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph in black ceramic

[–] RickyPeePee03@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

My all-time favorite watch is the 5513 Sub, and fuck no I'll never afford one

[–] olipheus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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 😬

[–] Fun-Drawing-7181@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

VC overseas but that's beyond aspirational

Somewhat realistically, a Frederique Constant Manufacture Slimline Perpetual Calendar on a bracelet.. .. Last I checked they went for 7 to 8k Euro

[–] BIB_LOP@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

VC 1921 historiques american. Not likely i'll ever have one

[–] mdinhlam@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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).

[–] brucewayne1935@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Cartier Santos medium. 5-6 years from now? Possibly. 10-15? Likely.

[–] bobbyphysics@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Something from MB&F.

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

[–] 10Unique10@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

Ressence type 3 for me.

Not a chance.

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.
