Today I can officially say I have joined the club. What club is that, you ask? Well, let's take a look: Looks innocent enough - but no, not the bubble-wrap club. Looking a little closer we find: Oooh, backside photo first! And now for the big reveal: Ah! The crystal is beat to heck, but, yes indeed, I finally managed to get a 62mas! As I posted earlier in January, this was one of my grail/quest watches for 2015, I just didn't realize how quickly I had to act! This one popped up with a hefty BIN/OBO and I came in at a low, but decent starting point number. The seller countered, coming in just a buck under a grand, and I countered again, coming up quite a bit. The seller agreed and here we are! I have a crystal ordered from Mountapo (sorry Sabrina!!) and I'm quite sure it will need a service when the crystal arrives, that is, to do it all at once. I'm so glad to finally get this one piece in my collection. It sits nicely on the wrist, I've read that other owners thought it was too small, but it is that perfect 60's size. One last photo so I can get back to being mesmerized: If you find yourself in the position to acquire a 62mas, do it - you won't regret it. Thanks for looking! Dan

That looks great under that crystal. Nice insert/case back. Score.

Cool man I owned one for a while but yours is nicer original condition than mine was. Leave it as is just polish the crystal and stuff a decent strap/band/bracelet on it

I'm glad you were able to acquire your Grail, very nice! I just can't bring myself to pay the price for one, but perhaps one will fall into my lap one day. Looking forward to seeing how it comes together, congratulations!
