So far the GV is ahead of the game in this poll...but not so many votes considering the number of members here on the TRF...even if your not a Milgauss owner please vote...

Thanks

I love the GV and have gotten more compliments on it than any other watch. As for the Lightning bolt I forgot it had one, just seems to be a second hand after a while. The crystal seem to catch peoples eye.

The only one I had seen until then, was the GV, which I had my eye on since 2007 when it first came out. Well, I started looking on the Rolex website, then realized that there were two other versions as well as the GV. I saw the GV last year at an AD, but I was really surprised at how green it really was, and started to have second thoughts. When I did get serious about a Rolex, and went to look at them all, my AD had all 3 versions. The Black dial with clear crystal won hands down. Apart from the fact that the green was too much for me, I didn't care for the fact that the markers were a mix of white and orange. I liked the fact that the plain crystal/blk dial model had all white markers, and the smaller markers at the edge of the dial are plain orange markers rather than numbers.
I loved the lightning bolt orange second hand. I think that this simpler configuration makes the second hand even more distinctive.
I love the Milgauss. It is one of the "richest" feeling watches I have ever worn. It somehow has a silky feel to it, especially with the smooth polished case and the luxurious feeling polished/brushed Easylink bracelet. This is a watch that I crave, even when I wear my other watches. I also love the fact that this beautiful case and dial disguise all of the innovations within, and the average person who looks at the watch has no idea of the movement, the special hairspring, or the Faraday cage. In spite of the fact it is a fairly heavy watch, and also 40mm, it is the most comfortable watch that I own. I also love the fact that it has no AR coating and it has such a beautiful natural shine to it. The inhouse Rolex 3131 movement is amazing.



That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

Great review Carl. This is one watch that (if money were no object!) I could honestly own all iterations of it!

i'm mildly surprised that the GV is favored 3:1 over the black.

i have the black dial...imo, the most looking of the lot and undoubtedly the most flexible wearing of the three.

ps. those that don't like the seconds hand...you really don't notice it that much after you've had the watch a while. i didn't like it at first either...

None of the above. How about the Explorer 11 in white?

I vote for the GV, I tend to like blues and greens so I might be biased. But the GV is on my dream list.

White is right!

The white dial makes the watch look sporty, and goes with the extroverted styling of the yellow/orange indices, and the shazam hand.

Black dial gets my vote

Milgauss is not a model I am particularly fond of, but the black seems to work well on my wrist...




Cheers
