Mine is the zenith chronomaster sport in white. I’ll be optimistic and say that I’m somewhat likely to get it but not for a while, and by the time I have the money maybe I’ll have a different grail. Idk tho because this watch is stunning.

Lmk what yours is and add a picture if you can. Some of you might already even have theirs.

    Here we go with the “grail” discussion again. I’m of the opinion that spending lots of money for a watch that can be found at the dealer is instead a matter of prioritizing expenses. My definition of grail is “the object of an extended or difficult quest”.

    I have a number of grails and I’m tracking them down one by one. One of my grails cost only $600. I knew it existed from a photograph of one in bad shape and I started a long search. A few years later I was able to get the watch when one just showed up on ebay. My watch is now one of three known to exist.

    My most recently acquired grail was a 14kt gold Alpina Gruen Techni-Quadron Jump Hour from the early 1930s. It uses an Aelger movement that was branded as a Gruen 877 when used in this watch, or a Rolex 300 when used in the Rolex Prince. Here’s a picture
