The milsub is a grail though... as per Matt, it's prohibitively expensive... and somewhat rare.

I agree with you ISMY. I was trying to think of the ways things became unavailable to someone who wanted one. Being too damned expensive is certainly a way, but your point that this would make many otherwise ordinary Rolex grails seems spot on to me. Now I'm not sure what I mean.

yes to be fair not just rolex other high end brands and maybe not even that high too if it is just price stopping some one from getting it is it enough to be called a grail ..mean sometime it's who you are too we have all read threads about watches being keep only for those special customers ... smacks of something else then being called a grail ? .

Ha ha, all I know is that I want the MilSub. Badly. I cannot afford one, and even if I could, I doubt I could find one... Hence, my grail.

And to think that MilSubs could once be bought for £50 from army surplus stores.
Many had their sword hands replaced to make them more desirable.

gets ,me wondering of how many people would have turn it down because it was £50 quid at the time who want such a cheap used thing with those orrid hands and flaky lume and those mil marks what junk perversely I would have been more drawn to it when every one else hated it

It's always hard to put a price on a value.
