Dear Fellow watch enthusiats, i would like to share my joy of landing one of the "Ultimate" Holy Grail. I have not written any review of my watch before but for this, i think i will try my very first to write about it. Which brand and model? please bear with me while I am preparing the review. (I learnt to build up suspense from a fellow forumer here ;D)
Some clues
1) definitely a holy grail by any standard
2) A Grand complication model
3) A dress watch, in strap
4) in one of the most precious metal case
5) I got it pre-owned at an acceptable price. the brand new price would keep many drooling enthusiats (me included) keep drooling with no help... :Laughing_on_floor:
Let's see who could guess it right.. :D
-
A. Lange & Sohne
Langematik Perpetual
310.025
Platinum
-
Patek Philippe perpetual calendar in platinum. Since it is one of the "ultimate" ones, I still could be wrong with my answer. :Laughing_on_floor: So don't disappoint us bro.
-
something from Franck?
-
ok i will play :laugh:
IWC Portuguese Grande Complication
-
too many dressy + complication + PM out there
i'll just sit tight and wait for your review ;D
-
A. Lange & Sohne
Langematik Perpetual
310.025
Platinum
I second that
-
You are NOT sharing your holy grail you are asking us to guess ? So, if we get it right you will donate the watch ok ? I mean lets make it worth our effort instead of leaving us green with jealousy !
-
ok i will play :laugh:
IWC Portuguese Grande Complication
My guess too.... ;)

Ha Ha, that is the fun of it, i will donate the "Watch photo" probably. ;D
-
No one guess a tourbillon and minute repeater?
-
A. Lange & Sohne
Langematik Perpetual

Platinum
I too second this.
But I do hope to see a minute repeater from PP (still under the Grand Complication category, 5078 or something...), if not from VC or IWC
-
So far only Lange, Patek and IWC, other brands not "holy" enough?
-
Richard Mille RM008? Audemars piguet tourbillon?? Hard to guess because you said it is the "ultimate" holy grail. Can't be anything less than that and the ones mentioned..
-
normally 'holy grail by any standard with grand complication' price is hard to fall until 'acceptable' level......unless the brand itself is not the 'very popular' 1.
So my guess is Frank Muller Grand Complication in white gold.
-
This one?

fast fast share your watch pics and review!! ;D
can't wait....

Hi Bros,
Updates! The review almost done. now is the photos part. my Samsung could not give the watch justice. i am getting a proper high res camera for the picture shots soon.
Probably ask Joseph to give me a hand on this. His close up picture shots are incredible ;D
-
... and we shall wait with baited breath! ;D ;D
-
a JLC duometre?
-
You sir, are a real tease indeed!
:Scolding:
-
too much foreplay already

Dear Eric,
It would be my pleasure to assist in taking macro pics of your holy grail although there are many more accomplished macro shooters in mwf.
Regarding ur holy grail. let me break it down as per your tips..
Holy grail means one of the trinity or a AHCI..for some JLC, Lange is also included
Grand Complication means at least 3 complications from any combination of :
repeater/sonnerie, chronograph, perpetual calendar, sidereal, equation of time, alarm, tourbillon
Most of these are in straps
Most precious metal-platinum followed by PG,WG,YG or one of RM's esoteric materials
Pre-owned- this is a Pandora's box- be very careful that many grand complication owners sell their watches when its time for a service as servicing costs for grand complications cost as much as a local mini compact car
Since the price is acceptable and drooling, I'm guessing its either a VC, IWC, UN, JLC...

as a watch newbie... i wanted to guess JLC but deleted my post thinking i'll get laughed (or worse :Scolding:) at... :laugh:
Read that "holy" usually means PP, VC and AP... and recently ALS...
el118, mind giving at least a close up teaser (or at least a partial teaser) while everyone is eagerly waiting? :Praying:
-
never look down on JLC, they do made super high end and super complication watch, especially their Minute Repeater and Sphérotourbillon

not at all, i've been very interested in JLC lately... initially thought of guessing Duometre ;D
high complications won't be in my list this lifetime but the MUTs maybe :Praying:

Answer will be out tonite. i will just try my best shots using Samsung and pls bear with me the pic quality.
