Hello Friends! Often chatting about our own grail watches, on this episode we decided to cover the best and more importantly still attainable "grail" watches. Some have amazing mechanisms and tech, some are pieces of art and some have an amazing story to tell. With many brands quickly becoming too expensive and hard to get, there are still some pieces which can be obtained and not necessarily requiring you to sell your kidney to pay for them. But this too can quickly change if you are not fast enough ;) Dmitri Wristcheck - Maen Hudson SangHwal Edition Kevin Wristcheck - Montres LIP MACH 2000 Chronograph (00:00) Intro & Wristcheck (07:53) New Release: Hanhart 417 ES Flyback (09:58) New Release: Louis Erard x Konstantin Chaykin Dusk to Dawn (12:41) New Release: UniDesignWatch Model One (14:51) New Release: TUDOR Pelagos FXD Black (16:45) New Release: Oris Diver Sixty-Five Chrono (19:10) New Release: MB&F M.A.D. 1 Green.
