    One Grail Down, Time to Assign Another

    So some of you may know that I have been after this watch for quite some time. Being that it was a limited edition released in 2005 I really didn't think I would ever get one.

    Late last year I thought I had one, only to dicover at the last moment that it a different LE, not the one I was after.

    Well, low & behold, after a particularly profitable poker tournament I looked around a few forums & found what I was looking for.

    Fed-ex delivered it this morning.

    Oris Limited Edition 1945 Flight Timer.

    Now that is an awesome display box (and watch!). Definitely more than worthy of the grail terminology - and it's certainly been elusive enough for you.

    Any idea's as to what's next on the list?

    Seiko     "Save the Ocean" Turtle; Tudor Black Bay; DOXA 1000T Project Aware (75/92); Seiko SKX013; Garmin Descent; Tissot PRS200

    oh, I don't know just yet.


    I have been really liking the Longines Lindbergh or the Trans-Atlantic Chronograph.


    But who knows when the funds will swell to that realm.

    The only thing is that the lining of the box is a little beat up (as you can see in the pics). Maybe I'll re-upolster it at a later date.

    Congratulations on your grail! Lovely limited edition piece, and the presentation box and accessories only make it better. Looks like we both got what we wanted today.

    That is very nice, I had not seen this watch before. Sharp, really sharp!
