Hey guys which would you choose between the these two? There seems to be a lot of love for the GV milgauss just curious to see what everyone thinks

Time2time · 22 July 2011, 10:06 AM

Milgauss GV for sure!
But I am bias.

I have a Sub-c also but that comes a close second.

Niether are my favorite but I would pick GV if I have to choose between the LV and GV since I already have a black subc.

Other than subjective desire just make sure to include functional features like date, rotating bezel, weight (Would you want a heavy SS watch, heavy should be the domain for precious metal like gold/platinum) and PCL into account when deciding. You might not think much of it now but it will come into play when you are wearing it.

Nice shot Eric~~~

Go for the one that you feel would get the most wrist time and admiration by yourself John!

Good luck on the choice.

Speed · 22 July 2011, 10:27 AM

Are you actually deciding between the two?

If so, what are your pros abd cons?

EDT3 · 22 July 2011, 10:33 AM

Tough choice. Will this be your first Rolex? For a first, between the two, I would go with the LV. More versatile IMO. But, if you're adding to the collection, the Milgauss.

Art 1 · 22 July 2011, 10:36 AM

Easily the LV.

clarencek · 22 July 2011, 10:45 AM

Having both watches, I would say the LV. It's easily more wearable and versatile.

mjm800 · 22 July 2011, 10:49 AM

LV it's one of my must own watches the Milgauss not so much.

ManUtd · 22 July 2011, 10:49 AM

I'd go with the LV.

Abid · 22 July 2011, 10:52 AM

16610 LV! Tried on the Milgauss didn't sit well on my wrist! Good luck!

Andad · 22 July 2011, 11:27 AM

I like both but the GV is 'different'.

ptugolf · 22 July 2011, 11:27 AM

LV, LV and LV.

chazha · 22 July 2011, 12:15 PM

I got both.. If to keep one only... Ack its tough. I honestly dont know.

gqllc · 22 July 2011, 12:51 PM

LV for sure!

Kanger · 22 July 2011, 12:56 PM

Honestly two of my favorite three Rolex, GMT II C is the other. If I HAD to choose, LV over the GV by a hair, reason being there is less polished surface and brushed bracelet.

andrew79 · 22 July 2011, 01:08 PM

LV and bias here.

Rollie2011 · 22 July 2011, 01:16 PM

GV for sure

MortgageGuy · 22 July 2011, 01:18 PM

Without a doubt I would grab the LV, IMHO it is one of the best looking Rolex out there and I do not even own one anymore

willco · 22 July 2011, 01:36 PM

Have a black Milgauss and LV Sub. LV is definately an everyday wear. Milgauss is thicker and heavier and tends to feel bulky at times.

scrog10 · 22 July 2011, 05:47 PM

I think the milgauss is more interesting. A splash of colour on the hour markers and second hand. The lume glows in two different colours plus the bracelet and clasp is way better than the LV.
And of course its alot rarer than the LV.(submariner)
The LV is clearer with the maxi dial.

Puffy · 22 July 2011, 06:09 PM

I vote GV

speedo · 22 July 2011, 06:29 PM

do you have other watches or is this going to be your only one? do you wear suit and tie mostly or casual?
i like both however i chose between the 116610 and the milgauss (gv or wf). opted for the subc but my next is probably a milgauss for the dressier occasions.

le_baroudeur · 23 July 2011, 03:44 AM

Just look at THIS green...

dalip · 23 July 2011, 04:14 AM

I'd go LV also...it's a more versatile watch with the insert change - Along with the maxi dial it really is a fantastic submariner.

stockae92 · 23 July 2011, 06:11 AM

if its just one, then i would go with LV. I like triple lock crown and maxi dial more than green crystal :-)
