Torn between these two...seen them, tried them, both looks and feels awesome.... DJ II with black dial and white sticks or Milgauss black dial (Non GV)...thanks

Shadi · 11 August 2010, 12:46 PM

Go for the modern classic

sturgeon123456 · 11 August 2010, 12:53 PM

Thought about it, I'd go Milgauss

dgr8dude · 12 August 2010, 12:26 AM

still tied at 8-8....

sakuraba · 12 August 2010, 12:57 AM

Interesting how close this poll is!

IMHO, if it were the DJ vs Milgauss, instead of the DJ2, the results would be far in favor of the DJ.

I know that when you are passionate about a purchase, like a new Rolex, decisions are hard to make. Could you buy one now and then the other one later on???

To be honest, I'm really considering deactivating my account here

...I've been buying and flipping watches like crazy in the past 8 months. Everytime I open threads, I become excited. I do hope to keep my GMTIIc at least for a year this time around...

dgr8dude · 12 August 2010, 01:06 AM

Oh really? Since my smallest watch is at 40mm and got used to something bigger, I lost interest in smaller sized watches. And afraid wife will use it and putting back the links she removed would be a hassle...lol

Watcheroo · 12 August 2010, 01:17 AM

Definitely the Gauss!

dgr8dude · 12 August 2010, 01:36 AM

This...

Or this...

JUSTROLEXES · 12 August 2010, 01:41 AM

Not an easy one... I would try both on and see the one you like

I would maybe pick the datejust II no

no don't listen to me both are great

I know what you mean...I tried them both yesterday and I can't make up my mind...both are gorgeous time pieces!

dalip · 12 August 2010, 01:58 AM

You'll end up with both....the question is which 1st!!

flathead59 · 12 August 2010, 02:49 AM

I don't own either of these watches, but am lusting after the black dialed DJ II myself. Tried one on at the AD, and really like it.

Gerardus · 12 August 2010, 03:03 AM

Dj 100%

matt.wu · 12 August 2010, 03:59 AM

Milgauss for sure.

I don't like the small crown on the DJ, and I don't care for the cyclops, so it's an obvious choice on the Milgauss. Plus, with the Milgauss, you get the 3131 movement and the history behind the watch.

It's also a very versatile watch that works well on straps and NATO in addition to the oyster:

Matt, your pictures are amazing

N_Swe · 12 August 2010, 04:46 AM

Must say that DJ2 has a few design mistakes, as The Black Milgauss is so nice, goodlooking, perfect size, and the most comfortable watch I ever owned. Unfortunately I sold my one, but I will definitely buy one later.

Go with Milgauss.

dgr8dude · 12 August 2010, 05:38 AM

X2.....at least I still have until the weekend to decide...

Max · 12 August 2010, 09:11 AM

I looked at the Milgauss when I bought my DJII and I just didn't think I would still want a watch with orange details 5 years from now. DJII will still look classic 30 years from now IMO.

rfknauss · 12 August 2010, 09:17 AM

Chad, I voted for the Millie!

Dan2010 · 12 August 2010, 09:47 AM

Since the Date Just has the dreaded cyclops, I vote for Milgauss. This thread has me relooking at the Milgauss to be my 2nd Rolex in my collection.

dgr8dude · 12 August 2010, 09:58 AM

thanks guys...I'm seriously basing my decision on this poll since I really like them both, but can only afford one.

scl6118 · 12 August 2010, 11:39 AM

DJII, the fluted bezel is very rich!

Art 1 · 12 August 2010, 11:44 AM

I would go for the Mil, in fact I did own one for a few years.

I just don't care for DJ's.

fly4food84 · 12 August 2010, 12:06 PM

I'm not a DJ fan either.

I'm a big Milgauss fan, especially the Green crystal.

I voted for the DJ though, because the less people who have a Milgauss the better off for me!

kcmo · 12 August 2010, 12:18 PM

I'd go for the DJ.....timeless look

MoosicPa · 12 August 2010, 12:19 PM

I just can't seem to get into the DJ or DD II's, prefer the classics. I'd go for the Milgauss between the two.
