Sold all your watches for a grail? Tell us about it!

I’m interested to see if there are many that have had the chance to move all of their pieces for a grail. What choice did you make (grail vs keeping your collection)? Do you regret it? Would you make the same decision? Everyone—what would you choose?

Sold a dozen watches and other miscellaneous items for my Omega Seamaster Professional 300M. Would highly recommend selling watches that collect dust, get very little wrist time or you have no connection to for finding a grail. Zero regrets and now I have a watch I adore vs several I didn’t fully enjoy.

What is this 'sold' thing? Do you mean people actually let go of them after buying them...wow!

·

Well i didnt sell ALL my collection but i traded 2 watches a DOXA and a Precista bronze  that i didnt wear for my grail RGM watch . no regrets at all 

·

I sold a bunch of more affordable watches to fund my grail, a Black Bay 58. No regrets at all. Also that watch isn’t crazy expensive so I was able to add a Grand Seiko for a similar price to help build out a great collection!

Man, legit thought that going all-in for a grail was going to win this poll! 

·

I could sell the watches in my collection for about $800-$900, so that's not really enough to get a grail watch yet.

My watch collection wouldn't buy a grail.  However,  my guitar collection would,  and have never and would never consider selling many of my wonderful instruments to pick up one "grail" guitar. 

I'm in the law of diminishing returns camp.  Everyonehad their point at which additional dollars don't add additional utility.

Collection. I'd prefer choosing what to wear rather than being tied to one watch.  Besides, grail's overrated anyway. 

Goes to cry in the corner and console myself

Even if I sold my collection for the grail, it would eventually just evolve into another collection... of grails 🥺

If your Grail is your one and done then go for it.
