Daytona and Milgauss, interesting to see...

... that less than 12 months ago people couldn't get enough of these two models - now it seems there's an endless supply of both, and sellers have them up for grabs for weeks before they move

Personally I love both models and a black Daytona is high on my wishlist and a Milgauss is just one stunning piece of kit.. If I hadn't reached my 2010 buying max I would get the two straight away - but I have to wait another 6 months

Does anyone have both? Would be great to see a side by side comparison, perhaps stick a Sub in the middle so we can see how the two look compared to a super classic.

Just an observation.. good weekend all

Puffy

What about if you sell a watch?


I disliked both the Daytona and the Milgauss at first, but now they are the two that I want... funny how that works out

Here is my logic:
If you are allowed 2 watches per year, then get two of the gaudiest Rolex masterpieces...and then flip them. With the funds, you can purchase a different SS model every two weeks for the rest of the year!



Heh..heh..I know there is probably a limit to your allowance but my logic always gets the better of me.

Well if my milgauss wasn't a folex I would probably have a gauss and a daytona at the moment.. However things wasn't as planned so the gauss was returned and I'm with a daytona and DJ2 at the moment..

Went into central to try one on, not sure, quite small and the dial is awfully cluttered. It seems more like a fashion accessory these days... still a very lovely lovely watch
