Fellow Grail owners, how do you go back to wearing other watches?

    With the day date, central seconds, 24 hr counter, and automatic movement, the sheer utility of the Omega 1045 is unmatched. Coupled with the 1450 bracelet, we have a truly comfortable as well as wearable combination. When traveling, one may readily use the 24 and 12 hour counters as a second time zone, essentially serving as a built-in GMT function.

    The question is, as a daily wearer, surviving in this brutal and rough world that we live in, how is it possible that a Grail owner goes back to wearing a non-Grail? This watch has the comfort, utility, history, and the prestige!

    I suppose a strong case can be made for showering or swimming. In either of those situations, a modern Rolex Submariner or Seamaster is clearly superior. However, in non-water situations, I don't believe a better choice exists. Cheers!

    2998 or Ed White, doesn't matter. The simple dial layout, manual wind movement, and sublime case makes it an easy choice.

    Haven't we been through this with you before? May I suggest you get out of your parent's basement and start dating?

    Sorry, maybe this watch is your grail. Glad you are enjoying it so much.
    Most of us here own many nicer watches that we wear every day.
    My 2 questions are if you love with your watch so much and don't want/need another, which is perfectly fine, what are you doing here and why are you posting ? Do you have a Facebook page full of wrist shots too ?

    He’s doing it again! Let’s not go down the 30 pages of WOOFT, let him play in the sand pit on his own, he’ll learn to play nicely eventually.

    Can we see some of your other watches?

    Maybe we should have a subforum here just for you and your holy grail prototypes? Then I won't have to see you fight with everyone about how beautiful your prototype watches are and how their functionality far surpasses that of any other watch ever (maybe get yourself an Apple Watch btw...)

    It's getting to be a bit much already, don't you think...?
