Well after buying and selling a few watches and now having 7-8 in my collection I have given up on finding the watch I originally joined up to find. Happy I found my other ones but my "affordable" grail is probably never to be found. Curious to what others have given up on finding or how long they have been searching? I should note that I bought all of my watches used here or on other forums (mostly here) but this model never that I see comes up for sale.
Here is a pic of my unobtainable

The Scubamaster, I think even if I ever find one I won't have the funds to get it when I fined it.

I'm pretty sure you could find something similar to this one out there if you were looking to buy new?Well after buying and selling a few watches and now having 7-8 in my collection I have given up on finding the watch I originally joined up to find.

I have the slightly up-graded version with a sapphire crystal and titanium build and bracelet which for a biggish watch is very light. I really recommend this watch, mind you the radio signal is of no use to me because of where I live but luckily the quartz keeps good time anyway.
Here's a pick of mine with a blue face (BY0010-52L).
Patek Phillipe Calatrava 3445 from the 1960's:
