Űber Grails

[freddy333]

About a year ago, with the completion of my 6536-1, I had constructed all of my grail watches

But, now, with the (near) completion of the infamously mythic Pan Am GMT (my Phase II 6542), I think I have to define a new level - Űber Grails - those ultra rare & mythic models that include the likes of the gold Moonphase & albino 6202 (TBA)

Love that Pan Am (and the others)

But the Pan Am, it certainly is in a league of its own.

Fabulous. Wear those watches well.

Freddy,

wonderful collection. As I said before, the Pan AM really stands out and is my favorite.Your collection sets the bar even higher. Enjoy these beauties, they are in a class of their own.Question is now, since you have collected all of your grails, what's next?

1st, I have to get the roulette datewheel installed to complete the Pan Am GMT. Then, continuing the albino theme, this is next on my to-do list (Datejust-style 6202 Turn-O-Graph)

Someday, once I figure out a plan of attack, I would like to do a proper Moonphase. Possibly, yellow gold.

Man, you de Bomb!! I bow in awe to your abilities. moonphase will be a great project, probably more difficult from a parts accusition point than any of the others before it.

Life is so unfair.. 1 man should not be allowed so many grails.. and now Uber Grails.. Hail the Monty Python.... Attack!!!

You're a true hardcore Freddy! Stunning examples what serious modding can achieve... I wish I had 1/100 of those skills.

I'm not familiar with the albino Turn-O-Graph at all, but that's beautiful. Is that a circular texture on the dial?

[freddy333]

Thanks All.

It looks like it, but I have never seen 1 in the flesh, so this will be a learning process in more ways than 1.

Gold moonphase..........please! that's what I have always wanted.......

I seem to recall that Phong (or another 1 of the aftermarket/franken sellers) was selling a nice-looking Moonphase for about $10k. A little rich for my blood & I shudder to think of what it looks like under-the-hood, but if you need to satisfy an urge

Amazing job "I wish I had 1/100.000 of those skills to do this" :

I bet that 1 of our recommended collectors could put something together that is similar. Try Trusty or Perfect Clones - send them that pic & see if they can match it.

They are out there. You just have to ask around (alot)

[Ronin]

Astounding. Clearly a master of the craft.

Looking forward to seeing your future projects.
