Question for the stopwatch collectors

Yes, definitely think I might get some stopwatches in the future too.

Peter sent me through some pictures of his impressive collection, which has some really nice examples in. I really like the older models, like the Mikrograph and Semikrograph, and the pocket chronographs are nice too.

All of them made me wonder, what Heuer stopwatch/timer/pocket chrono would collectors consider to be the "grail" (or grails) of collecting? We know the Chronomatic Autavias, the 1158 Carreras, the PVD Monaco etc in watches, but I don't have any real conception of what is most sought after in stopwatches.

Could well be that Mikrograph I suppose, but I'd be interested in hearing from those who do actually collect them.
