Hey guys,

After picking up a DJ36 last year and saying it would be my only watch, I've been bitten by the bug and had to get myself a SS professional model. With the seemingly never ending lists for Sub's and GMT's and my refusal to pay over MSRP, I wasn't going to be getting anything anytime soon. After scouring the used market for a few months I finally came across something that caught my eye.
A 116400 Milgauss, although maybe not considered the favourite amongst the aficionados, I like the lightning bolt second had and personally prefer this over the 116400GV, without the green glass and the matt dial I just think it has it's own character and flies under the radar compared to my DJ.
I'm also looking to have the watch lightly polished, it has a few surface scratches which are to be expected from a used piece however I think a light polishing to restore its lustre and brushed finishes should be sufficient, nothing drastic as I don't want to ruin its beautiful proportions.

Of course the mandatory pics

Looking good next to it's older brother I think

Let me know what you guys think

I've been considering a Milgaus for a while now. I sometimes work over at a research facility with a number of scientists. Seems like an appropriate watch to wear in a scientific laboratory.

Nice pickup! Congratulations !

leooooo · 6 June 2018, 10:36 PM

Not a favorite for the masses but easily one of my favorites! Congrats on the pickup

TSingh · 7 June 2018, 03:36 AM

Thanks guys, I suppose it is nice to see a change from all the Sub's and GMT's haha. I'm surprised by how many people like this as their favourite Milgauss. I always thought it would be the 116400GV.

I've always wanted to see the blue dial Milgauss in perons but naturally no AD in the UK has one. Looks fab though!

teb1013 · 7 June 2018, 04:23 AM

I think the Milgauss is great looking and would be a perfect companion for the DJ (strange to say I found my DJ needing a companion quite quickly as well). Personally I think the green crystal, especially with the blue face to be most striking, but the one you’re looking at is beautiful as well.

Black dial Milgauss is one of my favorites. Congrats!

chloebear · 7 June 2018, 07:20 AM

Congrats! Great combo.

I am a huge fan of any and all Milgausses. All four modern configurations are unique. I'm a huge fan of the extra thickness and the oversized (compared to the DJ) crown.

Enjoy it! Great watch.
