This, please. I'm quite a reasonable guy.
Tudor Black Bay 54, 38mm
The F-91W because it will outlive me and all the other generations after me.
I want to say a Lange, but I’m not sure that’s really me. This is super-boring, but it would probably be a VC Overseas or 222.
It's a nice thought, but the servicing will run into 6-figures...
What’s my grail watch watch? What day is today? 🤔🧐🤣
All kidding aside, I’m not into calling them grail watches, more like ones I want to buy if the budget is there. Of the three or four I have in mind the first would be GO or Speedie. Preowned prices are very attractive on these models.

Oh man, I hear these are pretty hard to come by. Id love one but Im not willing to play AD games.😤

They put me on a 10 year-long waitlist for this piece!
Mid 80s Rolex Explorer 1016.

I'd choose a solar G-Shock but I am basically with your approach.
Vintage VC 222
Two tone, or solid gold one. This is the embodiment of class.
Actual unobtainable Fantasy Grail?
Buzz's Speedmaster!!
Grail:
I’d get the Patek Philippe 5970R , it simply is incredible
Devon Tread 1 Group 63 🙈 Yes, it is not the craziest watch price wise, but ... 😍
There are more watches that I really like and that are far more expensive, but the Tread 1 bewitched me when I saw pictures of it the first time 🙈.
Crawley (David Tennant) wears a Tread 1 in Good Omens 🤤.

I was going to say the same thing!!! You know it’s probably in Buzz’s safe. “lost on the way to the Smithsonian” yeah right. 🤣
Triple split, twin-beat or 222, chronometre resonance, JLC Lab 2 or anything with fusee chain like Zenith Academy Georges Favre-Jacot
MB&F legacy machine perpetual
It's easy: Marie Antoinette Pocket Watch by Abraham-Louis Breguet
Vianney halter deep space. Its an engineering marvel. Triple axis tourbillon.
No doubt this puppy. Quite a looker. I hear the movement is ok.
Breguet Tradition

Can’t really say I have one. Maybe a A. Lange & Söhne.
Anything that Roger Smith makes.
boring but a Rolex Explorer II in polar
Omega Speedmaster Snoopy, it has always just grabbed my attention
A Jacob & Co. Indiana Jones watch that has an actual grail complication. 😄
I would go with the Grand Seiko Kodo, I can imagine listening to that puppy all day, every day 😍
