i *would* say that a grail watch should only come on a strap, but that would be denigrating some of the excellent pateks with integrated bracelets

anyway, here's the greatest patek reference of all time, and hence the ultimate grail: the 1518

It's the ultimate watch for me.

It has all the functions you need, is durable and waterproof and will always be precise. Everyone will think it's just a cheap g-shock so you never have to worry about envy or theft while you can appreciate the beautiful finishing.

i kinda messed up.. this exact watch was ON SALE in my local watch store. this happened a month ago. I had the money to buy it, but I looked at it as a wear watch, and it didn't cross my mind to buy it, only to resell it. it wasn't even that expensive, just too expensive to justify impulse buying it. but you can still find them in stock idk what the big deal is.

I don't know why you thought the glashutte belonged on this list. Might as well add a citizen for good measure. If you had said a Saxonia I could understand.
get the 5227G at an AD and ask to be waitlisted for an aquanaut or a nautilus

[Anonymous No.17952412]

None. Classic/dress watches shouldn't have a centered second hand, that's a sports watch feature.
Get one with a small second, or no second at all.

[Anonymous No.17952420]

>>17952386
The Patek is the most generic but also the one with the best resale value. It's pretty much an office watch.
The Breguet is more a dress watch, very clean. So it's between those two depending on if you want a dress watch or a daily watch.

The Glashutte is a mix between a dress watch and a field watch, meh.

[Anonymous No.17952422]

it's a chronometer feature, having a seconds hand was a requirement for all watches and movements taking part in observatory trials and with most modern movements the only option was a center seconds hand

It's not an ugly watch but why is everyone so crazy about it?
It's like $70k to get one which puts it at twice the retail of a 5227G which I think has a sleeker and more iconic design.
Is the movement amazing? Does a little swiss man take it apart for services?

It's just virtue signaling from watchfags.

FP Journe is one of the most skilled watchmakers of all times. He became famous for his "Chronomètre à Résonance", a watch with an insane movement that was theorized centuries ago by Abraham Louis-Breguet. Journe succeeded at building it (among other watches with crazy complications) and now he's kind of a living legend in the watch community. His watches also have a very distinctive style, that only true "watch enthusiasts" can recognize.

The thing is, FP Journe also makes very traditional watches like the Chronomètre Bleu. It was "affordable" a few years ago but now it sells for 4 times its retail price because of hype and "muh quiet luxury". The watch itself is nothing crazy, but Hodinkee and other medias have decided it's a modern icon.

People who say it's their "grail watch" don't even understand why. They just like the idea of having a grail watch that isn't a Patek or a Rolex, that's still praised by the "right people" (ie Hodinkee and Revolution Watch editorialists).
