Icon20 Milgauss slow burner !!!

What is it with the white and orange Milgauss when it came out I thought what an average watch , nothing special quite dull to be honest , I would not have bought it for any money .

UNTIL !!! for fun just the other day my local used watch seller had one in stock so jokingly I said lets try the thing on and WOW !!! what a cool watch nothing like all the black dial subs , dwellers , gmts etc its quite unique rather hard to explain to be honest , undersold in its day but now discontinued one to watch for sure as its well retro !

I did also buy it lol !

I had one and liked the idea of it very much. In reality though that orange tends to be an almost peach color and it just bothered me with most shirts I wear. Sold it for the black non-GV. If they did the white with black and maybe some red accent it would be the perfect watch.

I've always thought it was a very cool watch...one of my favorite white dials.

Congrats!

Although I first bought a black non gv over the white then traded that for the Zblue I'm still a big fan of the white Milgauss

I prefer the GV models. The watch is already quirky so I wouldn't stop half way and just get a plain black or white.

Love mine, I wear it on patrol because it doesn't look like anything special to most people.

I am a technician which the Milgauss fits my line of work. The black dial Milgauss is next on my list.

I regret not buying one before they got discontinued. One day, I will buy a pre-owned one.

Milgauss is next in line, I am getting the Milgauss with the black dial & non green glass. If Rolex made a black dial green glass it would be awesome. I am not a fan of the orange 3,6,9,12 on the dial.

I have always like it. I can never decide between the blue, white or black dial though. Congratulations.
