You guys do know that the Nautilus is plagued by the Sticky Date Issue right?

The Nautilus is my Grail too




I can't get over this piece. At the moment it's grail enough for me.

Only other pieces I would purchase from Patek are 5070 5970 or 5131. These r also grail for me.

Apart from that I got a new ceramic Daytona SS on order.

I don't really have a Grail watch in my thinking. However here are a couple on the attainable list.

1. Dornblüth 99.5
2. Cartier Santos 100 XL
3. Zenith Extra Special Bronze Pilot
4. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15400 ST
5. Parmigiana Kapla XL (however it might be too similar to the Cartier so its likely the first on on the wrist knocks out the other.)
6. Bell & Ross Desert (if it's made in the 01 series in the future)

Grail would have to be something not attainable to an individual so, for me it has to a RM.

Patek Philippe 5070G white dial, 5170G white dial or 5172G blue dial.

The former (Lemania Caliber 2310 CH27-70) is available in overseas as pre-owned in various conditions.

The latter 2  (Patek Philippe Caliber CH 29-535 PS) are still readily available as new stock in local AD.

Which one is more desirable, & how safe is it to get from overseas seller?
