...for understanding

As some of you know, I got the IWC Ingenieur Plastiki last Friday. Love the watch, it is here to stay.

Then, Thursday I found a Milgauss GV at a stellar price (actually, here on TRF

). Bought and paid for, arrived Saturday - and I love it every bit as much as I would. I know many here 'diss the Gauss'

, but I think it serves an ideal purpose - clean dial, NOTHING besides time, and being a Rolex, it is an excellent everyday watch that can take some abuse. And if you're going to own a Milgauss - what better one than the Green Crystal?

Got a call today from my friend, president of Martin Braun USA. Said my dream watch can now be put together. A PVD Selene Meteorite

It will look like this:

but with Meteorite dial and the moon-phase aperture at '12' instead of '9', which is how I prefer, like this one:

That model was MY IDEA! If it catches on, I will get some of the credit (royalties) for it! Until then, I just have to have one. So, tomorrow I will be wiring funds for that sucker as well.

On the bright side - the IWC scratched my long-standing itch for either an AP Royal Oak Offshore or a Hublot Big Bang King. Right up there with the size of 46.5mm, PLUS an in-house movement (unlike Hublot). And AP - the heck with it, I don't need another chrono - of course, until that WG Daytona comes along at a good price. See, I am a lost cause, told you!!!

Pffft... What funds? I am scraping to feed an addiction, mate!

It must suck to be you, to have to make decisions on those great pieces

congrats on your design...
seems like you're having fun there Greg...and nothing else matters. Love it!

Very nice as long as there is food on the table and bills are paid have at her

Brunotheboxer · 26 October 2009, 10:42 AM

I love that moon watch because it's unique.

BarkMaster · 26 October 2009, 11:03 AM

You are in deep!! Great watch look!

Bisquitlips · 26 October 2009, 11:18 AM

Just put on your guano boots Greg and wade through it all. You'll recover!

robrobin · 26 October 2009, 11:31 AM

Greg, you have my vote on the Milgauss green crystal. A lot of watches come through my hands and I migrate to the MG a couple of times a week. It's a keeper, simple and unique.

Lol-x · 26 October 2009, 01:07 PM

You're a lucky guy Greg to have such a very considerate wife, and that must make your new watches all the more pleasurable to enjoy.

Mosco · 26 October 2009, 01:09 PM

Fellas - thanks for the vote of confidence!

Rob - couldn't agree more. My only critique of the MG (as it is with most of the Rolex lineup) is that I wish they'd go to 42mm. Otherwise - it is a perfect watch. I even started to like the 'lightning' second hand - thought never would.

kyle L · 26 October 2009, 01:11 PM

Congrats Greg! You're a watch designer now!

Jet · 26 October 2009, 04:55 PM

Congrats Greg!
That is one AWESOME design if I may add! I strongly believe that it will catch on! I just wish I could afford one!

DanP · 26 October 2009, 05:27 PM

Welcome to Club GV Greg!

Ultraman · 26 October 2009, 08:23 PM

That's a great design, Greg! Good stuff!

Deep Sea · 26 October 2009, 10:41 PM

Damn Greg! You keep pulling rabbits out of the hat.

That's a superb looking watch. I'd be scared to death to wear it unless it had a bubble-wrap sheath around it.

R1@160@alltimes · 26 October 2009, 10:49 PM

Congrats man. She's sounds like a keeper for sure

Mosco · 26 October 2009, 11:05 PM

Thanks Fellas!!! I don't drink very often. Never done a hard drug in my life. Not a gambler. I am allowed one vice, aren't I?! I think watch-addiction may be it

Martin, are you talking about the Martin Braun?

sexner · 26 October 2009, 11:38 PM

It looks fantastic Greg!

You must be getting excited.

Greg that's a stunning piece your putting together, question! why won't rolex up the mm size on thier watches because it seems like the competition is completely blowing them away..
