I know the feeling. You must be a very happy man.
I got both of my grails too, so now I am not looking for any more watches

Owning your grail watch is a strange feeling

This was the number 1 watch on my list for a decade and it is crazy to think about how much time and money and thought and emotion that was expended in getting it. Now, I am enjoying the process of getting acquainted with it! ...
Ahh!

I miss mine - I don't wear mine anymore due to safety concern because now it's so well recognized where I seem to go.
That is such a pity!

I must live around a bunch of country bumpkins. Not a single person has recognized it. The only person who said something: "That is an ugly watch and I have to imagine you paid too much for it."
Funny thing...

I think this is a common experience!

The first time I saw it I was not a fan but somehow you warm up to it. I do prefer, maybe in the 2006-2010 range, when this was an enthusiast's watch - a little bit of inside baseball. Thanks for sharing your origin story!
You're welcome!

I still think the watch on its own looks a little naked. It needs to have a wrist! It's like the watch is the art, the wrist is the frame. The art looks naked without a frame.
Hahaha, I hope you are not related or,

worse, married to that person. I think the 5712 is absolutely drop-dead gorgeous and the few times I've handled a friend's have been special. Enjoy your grail! Cheers Marc
Congratulations!

Sadly, this sickness being just that, I already have my sights set on other things - however, in fairness, I cultivated other interests over the decade that I was waiting!
Thanks Aquaracer1!

My path was certainly circuitous but I stayed the course. I really appreciate the wise words of many on here who preached persistence.
ROFL!!!

Very, very similar.

A penchant for stripes around these parts, perhaps.
The most satisfaction

Congrats Josh. I like it to go for the difficult route. A watch that is easy to get wil never give so much as for watches that needs to be hunted for. Investigate, trial and error, time, and get on the wrist a watch that is crazy when you think what you a...
