I see Bonhams are selling a Grail Speedmaster next week. I have given up trying to educate auction houses and watch sellers on the difference of Grail watch and Holy Grail. Chuck Maddox never used the term Holy Grail, it was just 'the Grail Watch. He deserves better than this sloppiness. In his words- A personal admission: I'm the one to blame for "the Grail Watch" moniker...

Paul, thanks for that, I have read that but also read MWO's take on these watches and they do differ. Meanwhile did anyone know the hammer price of the Bonhams auction?
