Wear your watch in good health.
Dave, the lightening strike second hand is history. One of the Milgauss models from fifty years ago had the same style of second hand.

Thanks for the kind words...I am glad that everyone enjoyed the pics!

As someone mentioned, its a "fun" watch, and very different from any other timepiece I have owned. I am enjoying it guys...thanks!

If all three color combinations were were available in front of me, for me to choice, I think it would be a toss up between the GV and White. Both have a lot of contrasting features and offsets, which is something I like.

Nikon D300 with Nikon 60mm 2.8 Macro lense. The wrist shots were all hand held, and the lume shots were using a tripod.

Thanks guys...I am noticing even more detail on the watch, that I once overlooked. Notice the black outline around each tasty orange marker??

That orange looks good enough to eat. I also like the three different shades of orange used.

Nice wrist shots.
Honestly I would buy this over a SS Daytona.
I am one of the very few people that are just not excited by it (Daytona lure).

At least the Milgauss is very striking, the Daytona has a complication I would very rarely use.

it is cool I think, But aside from it's limited production, I feel it is something I would find myself getting sick of over time as it is not as classic as the standard rolex model's that have softer colors.

Shariff,

Love the photos of the Milgauss.

Although... You know this is the first photo post you've done in a long time that doesn't have photos of your gf/fiance.

Great photos, but not convinced about the watch, but that is the beauty of life, we all love different things.
Wear in good health.
