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.

I am actively listening for the Fedex truck to knock on the door deliveringThe Fedex truck arrived while I was typing this with my two-tone Frederique Constant Highlife Automatic Chronograph.I found it months ago after I decided I finally wanted to invest (not literally) in a fancy luxury watch. My girlfriend and I have already decided to get married, we’ve just been waiting for the right time to get engaged, and I thought it would be nice for me to buy a nice watch for my wedding. I LOVED this FC as soon as I saw it, but I knew I couldn’t have it because it cost more than my girlfriend’s engagement ring and that didn’t sit right with me.
It eventually sold out anyways, then I found a good deal that I passed up on and then it sold, and I ended up writing off getting this watch and looked into alternatives.
Well two weeks ago I finally made my proposal plans, I have the ring, the date (New Year’s!), the location, and my friends on deck. I decided now would be an appropriate time to start shopping again. Just for funsies, I looked up the Frederique Constant again last week and found it on clearance for about a grand below what I got my gf’s ring for! I waited for a week and then jumped on it this past Wednesday.
I’m gonna open the box once to make sure I didnt get scammed and to size the bracelet. After that, it’s going in the closet until 1/1/24. Can’t wait!!
Great choice man. I’m still convinced this is the sleeper brand of the last 5 years. On my short list for sure.
