Happy birthday and congrats!

Fantastic watch, looks so much better in person I find than in pics.


But your first pic makes me cringe when I see how poorly they applied the orange paint to the second hand for a SS watch at that price point.

I have been wanting this watch for a while. Could not make up mind between the white, black GV or the blue GV dials. Finally, decided that if I want a Milgauss, why not get the most quirky one.... here are some pictures.


Now THATS better than an AD experience!

Congrats and enjoy!

Thanks. I have heard about the pain issue on other watches as well. On that particular macro picture, the watch dial is a bit out of focus and/or camera shake may exaggerate the flaw.

To my eyes, there is no flaw at all. Obviously, I am in denial at this point...

Congrats! DavidSW is awesome to work with. Great guy. And the Z Blue Milgauss is the coolest watch in the catalog. Great pick up! I'd really like to add a Z Blue one day.

Agreed on both... The transaction with DavidSW was great and still enjoying the zblue...

If you look right on the center of your watch, the black piece holding all the hands together seems to NOT be solid black, looks to be unpainted right there. Is this just another example of the dreaded Micro lens playing games with us or is there paint missing.
