    I chose my grail!!!! Still can’t believe it. Maybe it will hit home once I pick it up on my actual birthday. A sealed piece will be coming directly from the factory. Think I’ll be camping outside the boutique the night before! Did I make the right choice?

      If I were to consider a Patek, the only one that truly strikes me is the 3919, Calatrava, the "Jack Welch Watch". Plain, simple, elegant, white face with black Romans, that may be considered the ultimate power watch.

    A no-brainer. Lange takes the prize easily. Most Pateks leave me cold. They're bland and boring. Too conservative. Some of the gondolo watches are outstanding, though. The Nautilus is great as well.

    I have a 5227 in rose. Much nicer in the flesh.. pictures can never do it justice. I tried on Pateks pilot watch and loved it except I’d rather have a simpler version without the time zone complication. I’ve tried a few Lange’s and loved them but haven’t pushed the button yet.
