... that less than 12 months ago people couldn't get enough of these two models - now it seems there's an endless supply of both, and sellers have them up for grabs for weeks before they move

Personally I love both models and a black Daytona is high on my wishlist and a Milgauss is just one stunning piece of kit..

If I hadn't reached my 2010 buying max I would get the two straight away - but I have to wait another 6 months

Does anyone have both? Would be great to see a side by side comparison, perhaps stick a Sub in the middle so we can see how the two look compared to a super classic.

Just an observation.. good weekend all

I'm allowed two watches per year and that allowance is gone, so have to wait until Feb '11

I'm intrigued.

How does this work?

Well if my milgauss wasn't a folex I would probably have a gauss and a daytona at the moment.. However things wasn't as planned so the gauss was returned and I'm with a daytona and DJ2 at the moment..

What about if you sell a watch?

I disliked both the Daytona and the Milgauss at first, but now they are the two that I want... funny how that works out

Here is my logic:
If you are allowed 2 watches per year, then get two of the gaudiest Rolex masterpieces...and then flip them. With the funds, you can purchase a different SS model every two weeks for the rest of the year!

Heh..heh..I know there is probably a limit to your allowance but my logic always gets the better of me.

Went into central to try one on, not sure, quite small and the dial is awfully cluttered. It seems more like a fashion accessory these days... still a very lovely lovely watch
