My new V serial Milgauss

took the plunge yesterday and walked in the Costa Mesa Store in SoCal and picked up a black dial Milgauss. What struck me was it was the newer style without the green dial and it did not have the numbers, rather it had markers. I love the way it feels and it compliments my GMTs nicely.

enjoy the pics! thanks

what you mean nice watch ?? Are you guys serious ?? yeah ok..we all know it's a fantastic watch....but just have a look at that knife man !!
If I go to my cheapo AD in my homewtown I would probably have to buy a couple of gold and diamond studded Daytonas to have something like that....as extra,of course !!

What I find interesting about the black Milgauss is that it doesn't have the 5 minute/second arabic numbers around the edge of the dial. This makes it different than the dial of both the white Milgauss and the GV Milgauss.

I haven't worked out any rational explanation for the difference, except maybe it is a further dial variation to make it more difficult for fakers to get the dial correct when they try to forge a copy
