Yes, I received one of my Grails or as close as I get to having a Grail. The model 2285 S1 Concept Racing Watch with a skeleton Valjoux 7862. I found a pre-loved with very light use. The skeleton Valjoux movement is stunning and the watch has very good fit and finish. It is about a 41mm case without crown with a black IP bezel and dial marker ring. Only a minor complaint the hands some what blends in with the movement. Only damage found a torn strap loop. Of course I love the S1 collection. Thanks for looking.

While I think that watch is very nice, I have difficulty reading the time on many skeleton watches. A watch can be a conversation piece but first and foremost, it has to be functional in that the time should be easily revealed IMHO.

auto, you are the pre-eminent Invicta collector around here. I love your passion for the brand, and your collection (insert smilies here with hands clapping). Congratulations on this acquisition. It is a beautiful watch with a killer movement!

Thanks everyone for looking and your comments. @agent Orange thanks for the compliment. I never thought about it like that, I just luck into great deals on pre-loved Invictas. casey I agree and it has the same movement as the Sapphire Ghost. @arielr22 it is a very limited model. KM here a side by side comparison.
