Most collections are actually very boring (in my eyes) or very very discreet...
Mainly because most people don't want to wear truly delicious watches, except rather delicious watches as dress watches, of some strange reason...
And it not just a matter of money, because my complete collection of 26 truly delicious watches, which did cost me from 7 to 130 euro, or in average under 50 euro, plus 10 new bracelets for average 10 euro and 30 plus 55 for the two boxes - made a total of "only" 1585 euro!
My second grail, of course...
My second Grail (or dream watch) is the first high class Ocenus Casio ever made... It was sold as the top Ocenus model 1992 but it was not written on the dial or the back - just 200m and Alarm Chronograph... And it still look as new, except micro steel scratces (which I not polish away) even if it is a 31 years old vintage watch!
• Casio Oceanus 200m DigiAna Alarm Chronograph, with sunny dial with tiny roman numerals, smiling golden display. unique golden links to a standard bracelet... 591sek (about 52 euro) 1993
- And it just got a 20mm 2 tone gold & stainless bracelet (see it in the box photo) with 9 flat solid links and butterfly lock, at 17 euro eBay 193kr 2023
I began to look for that masterpiece, within the next 22 seconds... Even if this WWOOR made in China (that I just bought) look almost as good and even did include a fine bracelet, for just 22 euro!
But I could not find Seiko SUP896 under 177 usd, sent to Sweden and that is too expensive...
Yes, it has a really wild cyber punk design and cost only 10 euro... But the one I got had it's dial slightly twisted, the "Lighter" name logo slightly broken and I had to sand paper the bottom (down to the plastic) to make it stand up!
I have five ultra rare Casio's and I love the first four, for different reasons...
Yes, they are all practically impossible to find and buy - except that I can sell the last one...

Then was my third Grail a truly rare Casio Oceanus Alti-Depth meter Alarm Chronograf, with even more functions and a smooth Ebel style case... And it still look as new, except micro steel scratces (which I not polish away) even if it is a 30 years old vintage watch!
Yes... Casio did only relese a few of these, just before they stop producing any high end stainless watches 1993 and only made cheaper watches for at least 8 to 10 years... And when they suddenly did return, was the high end watches clearly less elegant and anyhow from 3 times more expansive...

And the box I have them in, with all the new bracelets...
And the fifth is retired to a drawer... • Casio digital chronograph [449] SA-70G with a 6mm thin golden metal case, golden display and ultra rare, bought before 1993... The photo is in room light, as sunny outdoors... And it's for sale for 100 euro, plus any freight cost...
Then did I just buy another delicious Casio, even if I can't play piano yet!
