WCM21_88 Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 1988 16520 El Primero for me. Love the way they look with a bakelite Although I would love a 1680 red or white.. 1
Sogeha Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 Working slowly towards my personal trinity, Grail, in so far as I will almost certainly never own one 1
sgtguk Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Posted February 8, 2017 Bumping this one up for some more input guys
kernow Posted February 9, 2017 Report Posted February 9, 2017 This is the closest I've gotten to my grail. A modded Seamaster Pro. This was built by our very own SSTEEL. 1
docthor Posted February 9, 2017 Report Posted February 9, 2017 Even though I don't have a Seiko actually my grail and my wanted birth year watch are from Seiko... Grail Grand Seiko Spring Drive Diver: 6105-8110 birthyear watch I once had and sold (the idiot I am some times ) 1

Sogeha Posted February 9, 2017 Report Posted February 9, 2017 ^^^ This illness never lets up does it?^^^
movingshadow Posted February 9, 2017 Report Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) well, as far as birth-year watches go: In 1981 the only 4-digit-reference rolexes readily available (as no one wanted the friggin' things) was the 1655. There are also ref. 5513 dated to 1981, but I'd want a COSC (hence "superlative chronometer") certified watch so I'd rather go with a transition-model 16800 or a GMT transition-model 16750... Grail... hmmmmm, in terms of affordability, something like a platin A.Lange or Patek... unless I win the lottery (and even then I'd have to hit it pretty friggin' big ) The details on these are out of this world....
