The Grail - Another Watch Thread - What's your grail?

There's just something about a meticulously engineered bit of mechanical wizardry, hand-crafted and refined over 100+ years that justs makes life a touch more interesting. Better yet, it can go anywhere with you...strapped to your wrist, and appreciated at a glance. Hard to explain, but compelling (to some of us) none-the-less.

Have spent way more than I ever should have over the years and always seemed to have a Rolex on the shelf or my wrist, but alas.....no more.

Let's face it, a watch is a very personal item and is rarely appreciated beyond your own personal engagement. So, this week, I parted with my last Rolex and acquired a watch that I'll never see on a plane or in a meeting (or at least....very unlikely). A nice piece of old-world, hand-made craftsmanship.





Wearing an Omega Chrono (I love Chronos) for daily use, but this JLC is on an entirely different level.

An over-indulgence to say the least, but we all have them in one form or another (life is short, right?). What's your over-indulgence?
