Haven’t got the grail yet...enjoying the time and process to hunt it down. Probably will cost 10 months salary.

So far i tried to keep my watch valued approx 1 month gross salary.  Which means my watch target is in tendem with salary increment..
But.. that’s only hope, most of the time much higher than that.

I think you guys misunderstood, what I mean is your grail watch (could be the watch you dreamed of but not yet acquire though)
Some reply like 1-2 months salary is like face palm.. unless your salary is like easily 50k? or your grail watch is like 10k range?

If 1-2 month salary you would have just bought it anytime, it's not even a grail lol

well.. to be honest.. everyone has their own so called grail.. to me.. grail is The One Watch.. the watch when you acquired it,u stopped looking and drooling at another watch for good.. that is the grail watch.. the everything u ever dreamt of from a watch.. and to me.. my grail only cost me a month salary.. its a damasko watch.. thats it.. the best watch that i ever buy.. my grail..

Quite a few times : Daytona S/S, Daytona Ceramic, Sub, Hulk, Batman.
The ones without premium : Daytona TT, Sub TT.
The ones with discounts : DJ, DD, SkyD TT, YM.

I tend to be a flipper, and I find that the premium paid could be easily-recovered when I want to flip the piece, but it only worked for the hot models though.. In any case, time is more valuable so if I could get the piece fast minus the waiting list, it's still worthwhile in my books  :thumbsup:

Honestly, has anyone REALLY stopped after getting their GRAIL piece? I was offered my grail piece once, and I declined to take it then as I didn't want to be constrained from pursuing the hobby further. Of course, now that the grail model had since ventured into the 6-figures, I'm kicking myself for not netting it when it was still in the 5-figures  :o

Your grail worth how many months of your salary?
Have you bought it?

If it cost half year of your salary will you still get it?
What is your maximum tolerance?

Good question, but it's better to be measured in how many % of your net worth.  :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor:
