Obviously $5M is a lot of money, but for a lot of middle class people like myself this is attainable in a lifetime after saving for a while. Curious what each person’s choice would be for a “grail watch” that isn’t ridiculously expensive.

    Two answers:

    I think for a lot of people just owning one of the “classics” is a grail enough. A Rolex DJ or Omega Speedy can be found used for $5k-ish and finally getting to own one of those can be endgame for someone. Commonplace for rich watch nerds but really special for someone who can finally afford one.

    A answer in the spirit of the question - a MR G. There’s a lot of G Shock enthusiasts out there and a $3,000 titanium G is the “ultimate” version of a the watch in the same way an Olive Day-Date or WG Pepsi might be for Rolex.
