Wrist Scan for Friday 6th of March is Open!! Theme "Defining Grail Watch"
Hello dear Friends! Wrist Scabn is open and you may post in this same thread! As announced last Wednesday I will have the pleasure of hosting this week end edition and I am inviting our members to participate sharing with us their Grail Watches. We are sp...
Grail pair of vintage dress waches
Life is funny! As a collector of vintage jumbo manual-wind time-only (JMWTO) watches, with jumbo being defined as 36mm and up,it's often harder to find these. Especially for vintage VC and PP. Jumbo VC's are a bit more common than jumbo PP's, but they're ...
Thank you so much dear NT931 for sharing these two Grails!! I´m sure you´ll get the one you have in your soul to complete the trilogy!
These are two marvellous pieces which I can feel makes you very happy! Keep enjoying and loving them and good luck with your hunting for your third Grail!! Hagwe! Abel
The Grail for me...
is a journey and not a destination. This is something that I have learnt along the way. So many “stops” on this journey and these are just a few to share with you this weekend. Great theme Abel. ...
That´s a great definition of Grail Watch my dear Captain! "A Journey not a Destination" can answer my opening questions!
Some Lovely Grails you share! Didn´t know there was a 6238 Pre Daytona in you collection! That´s a most charming timepiece I love so much! I just wonder what could came next in your list! But these are things that can make for an interesting chat next tim...
The journey is longer than I originally expected
and hopefully time for many more enjoyable stops along the way. I hope to have the opportunity to share them in good health with you my dear friend.
Wow...your Lemania 😍😍😍
Of course Nautilus Chrono but the Lemania is an absolute heart breaker ! Best, Mahesh.,
So, for me a Grail Watch is a watch I highly desire or desired. A Grail is a watch I own or I will own. Nothing to see with the value. It may be expensive, or not.
Here are some of mines. I am definitely a lucky collector. ...
Ahh my dear Nicolas!! I know we share very similar "gustos" my friend! All those watches are Grails for me too. Yes, you are fortunate having these dream watches come true...
... and I´m very happy for you. All of them ar superb examples of its class. I specially love the FF vintage which I have been lusting for long. I agree completely with your definition of Grail. Thank you so much for sharing Grails and thoughts! Hagwe! Ab...
Mi gran placer Nicolas!! Ah yes, the FF is now in another level. Guess it is a train I missed now. You have made a good move with your FF collection, and I´m happy for you. I only wish...
... you will let me try one of them during my next visit! Buen fin de semana amigo mio! Abel
A receptionist asking you:"Do you need a wake up call?"
"No. Thank you. I have got an alarm watch. It is an automatik." I cannot forget that scene! I was laughing in silence because that woman would most probably know nothing or not much about watches. I certainly knew what you were meaning 😀. Top pieces!!! ...
You must remind me to tell you a story ...
About a friend that made a big mistake using a hotel phone 😉
You are a lucky man! Totally agree on your
Grail definition. Not available for judging on this Patek Not available for judging Best to all, Tim ...
Hello Timerider!! Thank you for sharing your Grail Watches! You are a Lucky Man as well! ;) Beautiful timepieces...
... all of them, but I´m specially in love with your salmon dial Breguet and your Lange Datograph. Breathtaking timepieces!! Glad you found your Grails and I wish you you´ll get the other ones in a near future! Hagwe my friend! Abel
Fantastic collection!!
most of them are THE absolute grail (that couldn't be obtained) for me you definitely a lucky collector, my friend and i'm lucky enough to join this forum & be able to look at your pictures of those grail watches. cheers
Two beautiful Grails Tyo! The Breguet La Tradition is in my Grails wish book too. I was very near to catch one a couple of years ago, but finaly I couldn´t make it. A superb timepiece...
... agree with you: it is a Masterpiece. But why you wouldn´t wear it ?? That´s part of the beauty of collecting timepieces: we can wear Masterpieces like this in our wrists. Not doing so means not enjoying them at full I feel. The Reverso Rouge is a char...
I don't because where I live I prefer to wear bracelet or rubber
it's more convenient
Ahh yes, but you can remedy that! You can wear your Breguet with a sporty nylon or rubber straps so you can enjoy it more. Some guys will think it is a heresy to wear such...
... an important classic watch this way, but if leather is the reason not to wear it, I would do it. Your Breguet is a true beauty which deserves to be worn, and you as an owner deserve to enjoy (no matter the straps!). That´s my view of course. This is a...
For me branding is more important than a particular model...
Seamaster PO Chrono (I also own Speedmasters) is the watch… But more importantly it is the brand ethos that really matters. Is there provenance? Do they really make the best gear?… Or is it all for show? Do they stand behind their products?… What is their...
I also have..
the Seamaster PO 2500 movement. This is a beater that I wear over my parka when I’m snowboarding etc. I love collections but tend not to collect. Having said that I LOVE the Omega Roulette Seamaster (the one with the football timer on it) the Kennedy Tank...
Grails
IMHO every piece I get is a grail. I never knew whether I can get it or not. (due to rarity or specific limited number or other reason). Most of all due to limited budget, I have to always ask myself, is it another true love or just passion and desire.
Good answer Gelato Monster! These are questions we collectors do ourselves some times: which? where? when? Budget allow? ...
While love, passion and desire are part of our game... Always! May be you can share some of your Grails with us? Hagwe! Abel
Like Captain and Amanico said a grail watch can be a cheap watch or a expensive one but its all about the hunt and the journey towards getting or owning that watch
I fully agree with them and thats why most of my watches are ,,grails,,imho . I am proud to own them and most of them tell a particular story as well . So its hard to just pick one or two to post here . Will pic a few but at no particular order. I don’t w...
Thank you so much Watchonthewrist for sharing with us...
... your Grail Watches! I can well understand your point. All these superb watches are true Grails for us!! Keep enjoying them so much!! Hagwe! Abel
Outstanding indie watches! I see you have a liking for salmon dials :)
Love the Chronometer Contemporain and the bespoke Kudoke!
Those all definitely qualify as grails!
A very well thought out and impressive collection!
Amazing post Watchonthewrist
Love the Gronefeld, Mosewr and amazing Vianney Halter. GEO
Grail Spam !...
That’s a whole new thing. A fabulous and well thought out collection.
