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 charming Tribute indeed. I own one too, a souvenir to my first trip to Milano. Lovely! Thank you so much for sharing dear Tyo.
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 watch I expect to catch sooner or later. It represents the spririt of Breguet so well I feel! Cheers! Abel
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 service department like? Do they consider the money that they accept in exchange for product a covenant? And lastly do they rest on their laurels or do they prove they are truly the best every single day?
Hello Myles! Interesting concepts to consider a watch as a "Grail" !! Thank you so much for sharing with us. Any picture of your Grail/Grails? Cheers! Abel [nt]
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 as well as the Globemaster...you never know...
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.
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 want to spam you with more of my ,grails,, so will leave it with these . HAGWE
