Hi everyone, I went to an AD last week and they have 2 Milguass GV in stock. I had been thinking about getting a Milgauss GV for a while. Yersterday, I saw a used Zenith movement Daytona SS with white dial in another AD.

I already has a 116520 in white dial.

Any opinion would be helpful. Should I get a random serial number Mailgauss or another Daytona.

I'd go for the Zenith movement esp from the AD.
You know you will be buying the no nonsense Zenith movement with all original components.
And since it is preowned you can negotiate a little.
And usually they give you at least a year warranty.

dddrees · 12 March 2012, 02:46 AM

Personally I would go for something a bit more different and I would go for the Milgauss. I think it just depends on how badly you want the Zenith Daytona.

Art 1 · 12 March 2012, 02:50 AM

Good luck with your decision. I would rather have the 4030 daytona.

z32turbo · 12 March 2012, 02:59 AM

I'd go for the GV over another Daytona

+1 although the Zenith Daytona is great.

Time2time · 12 March 2012, 01:04 PM

You already have a Daytona and the GV is a looker.

No brainer chum... GO GV!!!

horseco · 12 March 2012, 01:19 PM

Those are so different, I think its interesting you could be split between those two... That said, I am not normally a GV fan, but given the choice I would choose the GV...

Linzjnr · 12 March 2012, 02:16 PM

I would choose GV since you already have a Daytona, even though the movement is not Zenith who else but you will know? Prior to spending time on TRF I wouldn't have known the difference, it was just a Daytona. Plus the GV is just so cool

witch watch · 12 March 2012, 08:51 PM

Seems very popular to decide over a Daytona v GV on here of late, anyway you already have a Daytona so differentiate what you have and go GV

nauticajoe · 12 March 2012, 08:58 PM

The Daytona's got my vote.

Good luck!

Flintstone · 13 March 2012, 05:54 AM

GV!! All day...Every day

WatchTimes · 13 March 2012, 06:03 AM

Both are nice.
I have had and sold both.
The Zenith is a better long term buy value wise I think

The GV is a great watch! I love the green crystal but both lacking date
kinda killed them for me. I have a nice vintage 5513 for when I don't want a date.

A.J.R. · 13 March 2012, 06:09 AM

Tough call. I would probably go with the Daytona, as there are lots of GVs.

May I ask what kind of BMW do you have? I saw your BMW icon in the picture.

RX0-Unicorn · 13 March 2012, 08:16 AM

I think I will go with the GV. The used Daytona have no box and no paper, asking 12k for it. The GV really gets attention with the green rim.

Daytona!

PhilK · 29 April 2012, 08:31 AM

Daytona - if it's a good one they're getting harder to find. You see Milgauss GVs everywhere now and will be readily available for years.

caryyee · 29 April 2012, 08:34 AM

I'd go for the GV for something a little different as you already have a Daytona. Wearing the Zenith and your current Daytona would feel the same. When I rotate my watches, I like the change in style and variety.

Milgaussgv · 29 April 2012, 09:36 AM

Dare to be different with a GV

YoyoGift8 · 29 April 2012, 11:00 AM

Mil GV for versatility in your collection.

TSW · 29 April 2012, 04:01 PM

I'd go for the Daytona.

FiNNale · 29 April 2012, 04:27 PM

Get the Mil GV and flip your current Daytona for that Daytona. There you go, best of both world.

RX0-Unicorn · 30 April 2012, 10:04 PM

Hey everyone, thanks for the input.

i have to decide to get the GV first. Than, I will get the 16520 later.

I want a watch that i can wear everyday and not worry too much. The 116520 is sitting inside the box or winder, didn't get to see the world outside at all. I will crying for weeks if i get any scratch or dent on it.

RX0-Unicorn · 30 April 2012, 10:06 PM

Also, the Zennith movement Daytona does not come with box or paper. The AD is asking for $14000, plus tax, no discount. i just think the price is too much. That is more than what i paid for my 116520 when it was new last year.
