    How much time did it take to get you Grail?

    I was wondering how much time among you people who have gotten hold of their Grail, it has taken to the actual "Want" stage to the "Have".

    My minor Grail has taken less than one week and I am feeling a bit worried about any major Grail that might come my way.
    Budget will most probably suffer if this continues.

    I've been saving for my grail for 4 months so far. I estimate it will take me a further 2 years (teachers need a pay rise).

    Wanted to build my grail. Bought a dievas vortex for cheap, then sent it out to be cerakoted and modded. It's been a loooooong time (4 months). Even now, with mere weeks left, I'm flipping out. So I own it, but I don't have it. Is the clock still ticking?

    Saved for 2 years. Actually saved up twice what the watch cost so it wasn't a shock to the bank account. Grail? IWC 5001-07. Next? PAM329

    Nowhere near it. I keep wishing to save up for one but end up blowing it up on other watches along the way. Maybe now I have reached the stage to start focussing on a grail and saving towards it.
