First Rolex, First Post !

Hi, new to the forum, the Milgauss is my first Rolex, after many years of wanting a Rolex, I spent a long time deliberating getting it, but was finally persuaded by the missus to treat myself at Christmas !
Decided on the white face as I already have a Tag chronograph Aquaracer with black face, so fancied the white, plus I think it makes the orange second hand and markers stand out more.
I know there are mixed opinions on the Milgauss, but I love it !!!!

Awesome watch. Looked at the same one about a year ago but went the conservative route with the white DJII. I can't pull off the orange hands myself, but I love the look! Very cool. And it's a perfect size at 40mm IMHO. Plus I like how the 3, 6, and 9 markers are slightly larger. Wear it in good health and welcome to TRF!

Great watch. I love wearing the white dial Milgauss. It has heft and style I like a lot. Congratulations and welcome to the group. Something tells me this may not be your last ;-).

Congratulations, that's a gorgeous piece.

I've been wanting to pick up a white-dialed Milgauss myself. I'd love to know what your thoughts/reviews on the piece are, what you think it's plusses and minuses are.

Firstly, thanks everyone !!

I really cant see any minus points to it to be honest, not having a date may be an issue to some, but really doesn't bother me, i'm a builder and only generally wear it at the weekend, so as long as its a saturday or sunday i don't particularly care what the date is !!!

I love the cleanness / sharpness of the watch, and the lightning hand makes it just slightly different from your normal watch.

Again, i love it !!

The watch is heavy. It's more weight than I want to carry on my wrist. I do love the white dial.
