I am over the moon, my dream watch is now on my wrist!

I have wanted this watch for so long, the Non GV black dial Milguass.

There is not much to be said about the watch that you good folks don't already know so I will just say that for me it is the perfect watch!

Easy to read and so very comfortable to wear..Wonderful, I am so happy!

I also wanted to say a big thank you to one of the best people that anyone could ever wish to know. Our friend Carl (Carlhaluss) as it was from him that I purchased the watch and he gave me a great deal

The watch is as new, Carl really looks after his watches!

So that is it, a beautiful, simple, elegant watch that exudes class.. I have now finished in my quest for watches. That is it! Done, and I really mean that, this watch does it for me!
A couple of really bad photo's!

And one last thank you again to Carl, you really are the best friend a fellow could have mate, God bless you

axjimenez · 4 April 2010, 09:56 AM

Beautiful, I have tried one on and yes, they are very comfortable!

gmaines · 4 April 2010, 09:58 AM

Very nice...classy

OYSTERMANN · 4 April 2010, 09:59 AM

Congratulations, Ian - your watch is in incredible condition

mike · 4 April 2010, 10:00 AM

That's a beauty.

I think the black is the easiest to read.

As you say, Ian, Carl must be fastidious with his watches. It really does look as though it has just come out of its box for the very first time.

Enjoy that beauty for many years - it's fabulous

carlhaluss · 4 April 2010, 03:10 PM

Man, I gotta say you have great taste in watches!

May the Milgauss give you many years of pleasure, my friend!
Funny thing, after I got the Explorer there was just no wrist time for the Milgauss. I almost felt sorry that such a beautiful watch was not being worn at all.
All I can say is, I think that it is with it's righful owner now!
Cheers

Thank you my friend, the milguass is to me what the explorer is to you..And to know that it came from such a great person as you makes it even better
