How about you guys show off your grails....
Helps us all... And you have opportunity to brag

Only Vintages please. unfortunately i dont have anything to start off this thread ...a part from the full set Connie which is not really grail

Bring it on.

Depending on the likes lets make a list

 

If we're talking vintage Omega, these are two that are my favorites:



Both bumper chronometers - a '46 Centenary reference 2500 and a '54 Constellation reference 2799. Got one or two other gold dialed Omegas that are kinda nice too.

If we expand to all brands, then this '60 Conquest reference 9025 is the centerpiece of my Longines automatic collection:



It's closely followed by a date-at-12 18ct pink gold Flagship and an 18ct Ultra-Chron.

 

No grails for me. I just have a wishlist and I prioritize them differently if they pop up for sale at the same time. Those above are definitely in the wishlist for vintage Omegas.

 

I like the way ulackfocus thinks.

 

Omega only ? or all Grails?? due to the recent constellation outbreak here, my 2 early ones. steel/pinkgold capped and steel with a black high gloss dial with white gold markers and white gold hands; factory restored with the original stretch band. there are a few others and the incoming luxe in 18 carat with gold mesh and silver box. kind regards. achim

 

if you buy the JLC in the biggest case version, it`s fine. it is a very nice watch; try to get a used one for 50-60% of retail. good taste ! kind regards. achim

 

Another general dibs! There are some stunning pieces there achim. Pls let me know If you are ever tempted to part with any of those

 

Hi all

This is my input ...

... and she is called ...



"The Holy Grail"

ST 376.0822

Calibre 1045

from 1987

on a Band 1450 / 809







In NOS - still with the Omega-Seal - the RED DOT

 

Looks like Connie deluxe and grand luxe will be in the top 5

 

I spent a very long time finding a 2913-1. I would have accepted one in any condition given the rarity of the model, but was lucky to find this absolute beauty from 1957.

 

you are a lucky guy indeed ! count down bezel...... what a beauty. kind regards. achim

 

It looks so modern... Hard to believe it is that old...

Great find

 

Congratulation

 

Thanks for the positive comments!

Yes I'm fairly certain the bezel is original. I'm not an expert on telling the difference but it was in fairly messy condition when I got it. I spent a long time very carefully polishing the bezel with peek and while it still has a few scratches it looks pretty good. I replaced the crystal while I was at it, but that's it.
Infact I believe it is one of the first 200 made as the back has the 'certified high pressure waterproof' engraving around the edge of the case back on the sloping part (like the 2915-1 Speedmaster) while most you see have it on the flat part of the case back, around the Seahorse.
