PP 5711 would be my grail
Quote from: Chris on July 16, 2018, 12:41:30 PMPP 5711 would be my grail I had a few watches on my radar as my grail. And the 5711 was one of them. I remembered lusting over this watch, esp the one with the blue dial. Then during one of the watch gatherings, one of the guys wore it. Of course I took the opportunity to try it on. I was a little crestfallen on how it looked like on my wrist. It’s like anything else out there, you won’t know till you tried it on...as beautiful as it is, the way I dress and my daily life doesn’t go with this elegant and classy piece. On my way home...I dropped by a Rolex boutique and tried on the second watch on my radar, a rose gold Daytona on oysterflex. Just wanted something else to lust over. This was of course way before the craze for SS Rolex hit the world market. And the AD would have all sports models available on display...I had the same feeling I got as the PP...fast forward to today...and I still don’t have a grail. But I don’t feel bad nor empty anymore. I still love watches and admire and appreciate the craftsmanship. But...no grail...yet... maybe it will come, maybe it won’t. But no big deal...

Very nice of you to share this =)I'm afraid that will happens to as I tend to love bigger watchJust recently I went to AP in Starhill to look for Royal Oak, was keen to the blue dial at first and tried the white version of them, I still loves them but that was not what I expected. In the end I picked up a diver instead. Actually liking the diver more than the Royal Oak that wasn't expected at all.
