milly or new exp 1?

the milly and the exp 1 will be very similar in size and both without the date. So which would you go for. I have a GV so I'll probably go with the exp 1 for the classic look for next one. If you started from scratch and were going to buy one which would it be?

The Explorer I was my first Rolex so, of course, the Explorer gets my vote!

Hmm... Difficult choice. Have you tried any of them on yet? I always say you need to try them on before choosing. The appearence IRL may be so different from pictures and you need to see whether the watch suits your wrist etc etc. Remember to check in a mirror what it looks like from a distance too, say two or three metres away.

Tough call, I'd have to see them side by side.

I like the black dial Milgauss a lot but the PCL's are not my cup of tea, that may give the edge to the Exp I.

GV would be my first choice because of the unique crystal.

GV all the way. Unique and interesting and would fit best into my collection.

GV is on the the short "wish list" so that would be my vote.

Good luck.

Tough call - Milgauss if I wanted to go dressy, Explorer if I wanted to go stealth. I think the Explorer would edge it, I love an understated watch

I love the GV, but have to admit it's not an "only watch" type.
