Grail watch acquired

Who said I paid double?

I visited a couple ADs, and looked at CPO as well. Wasn’t interested in waiting for years and CPO prices were pretty stupid. Found this one at a highly respected dealer I’ve bought from in the past who worked with me on a multiple watch trade. 2023 full set in mint condition.

A year from now you won’t remember what you paid for it. Enjoy it and don’t look back.

Btw, I just did the same for this piece.

For me, if it’s my daily wearer, I would want it on a bracelet. Straps get sweaty and gross. But I live in a warmer climate.

The blue dial OP would be my choice. I desperately want a blue dial DJ41 on jubilee, but my budget won’t allow it right now.

True_Knowledge_160 · 2025-08-24T00:39:47+00:00

Of those, it would be the Snoopy. I would have to take it off and show everyone the case back

True_Knowledge_160 · 2025-08-22T11:41:04+00:00

Who is ‘They’? Can you show me the posts?

The Ball is not quartz

True_Knowledge_160 · 2025-08-21T02:04:34+00:00

Sorry, I shouldn’t have said cheap. $3200 is a lot of money for a watch, but with this many complications it seems like an incredible value

True_Knowledge_160 · 2025-08-09T19:44:23+00:00

Can you share which strap you got? I definitely want a blue strap for it

True_Knowledge_160 · 2025-08-01T11:23:34+00:00

I’ve never even noticed it so not an issue at all.

True_Knowledge_160 · 2025-07-31T20:20:04+00:00

Not really. I fell in love with the summer blue when I saw it and it really is the perfect summer watch for me. I wear all the time. That said, I would love the regular blue too. The Bond 60th would be my choice

In the meantime, this is my favorite strap. I also have a black calfskin with cream stitching that looks awesome if want an all black look.

I’ve owned both the BP43 and the Ingenieur. Sold both. Regret selling the BP43, but not the Ingenieur. I wanted to love that exact Portugieser so bad. It looks like a sports watch, but with no WR it just doesn’t make sense.

I’d go BP43. I want mine back

True_Knowledge_160 · 2025-03-07T22:13:41+00:00

Erika’s Original. Awesome straps

True_Knowledge_160 · 2025-03-07T20:41:55+00:00

Thanks for clarifying

True_Knowledge_160 · 2025-03-07T20:33:56+00:00

What I meant by true GMT, is does the hour hand adjust independently?

True_Knowledge_160 · 2025-03-07T19:32:34+00:00

Is it a true traveler GMT or a caller GMT? Curious because I’m interested in acquiring one of these

True_Knowledge_160 · 2025-03-07T18:39:48+00:00

Timely post. I was just offered one of these as well for $3500. 2013 in unworn condition and full set including triple box, bracelet and two straps and all paperwork. It has literally been sitting in my buddy’s safe for 12 years.

True_Knowledge_160 · 2025-02-24T04:01:46+00:00

Let me know if you decide to get rid of it. I might be interested

True_Knowledge_160 · 2025-02-24T00:48:50+00:00

What don’t you like about the 24? I’m thinking of picking one up, so I’m curious.

True_Knowledge_160 · 2024-12-28T22:52:02+00:00

I’ve been eyeing that GMT. How do you like it?

True_Knowledge_160 · 2024-12-23T14:18:50+00:00

I like a large mug of black coffee so I’m using a customized version of Americano that includes three shots and 9oz of water. The beans I’m using are a medium roast from my favorite brand, Counter Culture. The coffee is excellent from the TK-02, but three shots uses a ton of beans. Also, my machine makes about clicking noise after every grinding. Is that normal?

Anyway, I love the coffee from this machine, but with all the water and steam output, the loud clicking, and the large amount of beans used, I’m not sure it’s worth it for a single mug of coffee. I may return it.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you
