Milgauss 116400 Observations and Pic Request

Hi guys,
I was visiting the AD over the weekend and happened to try on a watch that I have never tried on before. WOW...the Milgauss is fantastic looking in person!

The case is classic oyster, but the extra case height certainly gives it a more sporty appearance and allows it to be a watch that would look great with casual attire, as well as dressed up. I always thought the thunderbolt second hand looked a bit cartoonish in pics, but in person it looks much more subtle and gives the watch a very unique, but tasteful flair.

I did not get any pics , but I did notice two interesting things when comparing the standard Black Dial to the GV.

GV...
1. Appears slightly smaller due to the arabics on the perimeter of the dial, the orange 3/6/9 markers and subtle green halo.

2. The matte dial on the GV appears slighty semi-gloss and definitely has a different appearance when viewed through the green glass.

BLACK DIAL...
1. Appears slightly larger due to the simple/uncluttered dial and clear sapphire

2. The matte dial on this watch appears slightly crisper and has a truly flat (non-reflective) appearance to it (almost like construction paper), which I love.

I always assumed that the GV would be the one to buy, but after comparing them in person. I think I prefer the simpler, slightly larger look of the standard black. If you have never tried on a Milgauss before, I highly recommend it. It seems like a great all-around daily wearer and it may very well be next on my list:)

I would love to see some Milgauss pics if you guys have them, so feel free to post them up.

Thanks!
