What makes a watch the Bee�s Knee�s (grail)? I would say the following:
1. Design (beauty) � a classic design:
a. black face w/ black dail & sub�s
b. white hands and indices
c. black bezel
d. stainless steel
e. Comfortable to wear
2. Utility
a. Automatic
b. As chuck says, �tough as nails�
c. Easily read (contrasting dial)
d. Chronograph
e. 24 hour indicator
f. Day & Date window
3. Distinctiveness
a. Based on a �Legend�
b. Limited number produced
c. Outstanding movement that has been �retired�
d. Availability rare
e. Looks great with blue jeans, business suit or a tux (if you need to wear a watch with a tux).
Let face it � the 376.0822 meets each and everyone of these.
I would add that while the price of the �Grail� is certainly rising, it is still a bargain in comparison to many other �high end� brands.
