So, I've had this watch on my wish list since I saw a coworker wear it, but I've never had it on before.

So I stopped by my AD yesterday and they actually had one on display. I tried it on and WOW.

What a watch.

Now I really really really want one... how to hold off the self imposed ban??

What cha mean, ban?

Unless you don't have the funds, go for it!

It certainly is the most luxurious watch I ever owned! I got the plain crystal model with the black dial. I just liked the simplicity. Had I not known that there are 3 different Milgauss models, I would most certainly have gotten the GV. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.
It is one of my bigger watches, but also my most comfortable. It is also the heaviest, yet unless I look at my wrist I don't know it's there. At the moment, it is my only Rolex, and I certainly understand why people rave about the quality. This is a pic of my Milgauss with non-green crystal:

Not the best quality photo..sorry. Anyway, it certainly surpasses the quality of any watch I have owned.
Just trying to help you in your decision!

Cheers,
Carl

GV's fantastic

currently my favourite

everose · 25 January 2010, 11:59 PM

I was attracted to the GV like a piece of steel to a...(oh bad analogy!)....magnet

My grail is my ssSub.....BUT i wear the GV all the time at the moment.....maybe its just in my mind....but i think Mr GV is a little more comfy.

Like Carl said all 3 versions are great......but think carefully...cos right now i wish i hadthe plain black,cos of its simple/cleaner dial design....but im sure its just a passing crush,and i will love my GV again soon

Let us know what you decide.

Interesting to note many TRF'ers are seeing GVs at the ADs now.

This is one of those watches I could easily (NOT $'s easily) own all 3 variants. But, I especially favor the GV.

Wow - fantastic pictures! I've really been digging the Milgauss lately, and you may have swayed me to the GV with these pics. I do love the "plain" black face though.

What to do!

I believe I had a Milgauss Spotting over the weekend... the announcer for the Jets Colts game was wearing one.
