·Rolex 1655. I have an Explorer 1 214270, and both an Explorer II 16570 polar and black, the 1655 would be a capstone watch for me. I doubt it will ever happen, but that would be my dream.

·Its a gold speedmaster. The 1980s Apollo 11, if even possible to find, or a LE gold from the 1990s.
This will finish off my watch collecting career. It will also complete my Decades Collection.

Mine is a breitling 765 avi. Three register dial. From 1953.

·Any parameters? For example: I can't really afford the Newman Daytona which just sold for ~17mm
My personal grail is an unpolished Blancpain Aqua Lung No Radiation.
I've been chasing that stupid watch for almost 10 years and each year the market price increases by 6 to 10% and the realty of acquisition decreases by a factor of 2.
Dare to dream. Maybe I'll find one at a garage sale one day?

Agreed! The Speedy was holy grail for me too. I had wanted one since I was 9, and finally got it in March, 2017- 24 years later.
The closest "grail" runner up I can think of is the Bremont USNTPS special edition GMT chrono I have on order. Hoping it'll be here by Christmas. Here's a stock photo:

·Non vintage: a Blancpain fifty fathoms in white gold. Limited to 50 pieces world wide. I love the fifty fathoms in general. But the white gold makes it so special and under the radar for me as for most people it will just look like a steel watch.
If we talk about vintage, tough call. So many beautifull designs out there.
But to keep it somewhat realistic:
A Tudor 7169 (both bezel variations) would be some sort of a grail to me. A friend brought one over once, and I can't get that dial out of my head every since.
The re-Edition by Tudor just doesn't cut it for me... to sad.

·For me, Grails are defined as either a watch that is so rare as to take years to find, or so expensive as to require a dramatic change in income.
For time sought, I think of the Breitling 765 AVI with digital counter. Truley a rare and fascinating complication. I'd probably put down a Doxa Searambler 300 no-T White Lung. I have only seen ONE in existence.
For silly money, Id go with the MB&F Hodinkee LM101 with SS case and Brown dial. Just a superb execution of an incredible watch to begin with.
