Trade a 210 for a WHITE Milgauss?
Would you do it? I live in a small town and can't see one in person. Thoughts?

Ehhhh, I mean there are better PAM's than the 210, but that being said I am not a fan of any of the Milgauss, so I guess I am a bad person to comment. Sorry.

Wow. The 2 watches are polar opposites. For what its worth, the white Mil is the least popular from what I've read and heard. If you can afford it, keep the PAM and buy a used Omega Railmaster for less than $2k. Its Omega's magnetic field resistant (or whatever) tool watch. Looks a little like an Explorer 1. I have one. Its nothing stunning but more unique in Omega's lineup.

i don't think the current form of Omega railmaster is anti-mag
maybe try Sinn 656, 856, etc. |

No way! The 210 looks amazing. It's so elegant and I'd definitely keep it over any milgauss....especially the white one.

what other watches do you have?,if the 210 is the only one then adding a second rather than swapping would be my advice,nothing like putting an old favourite on after not wearing it for a while.I would think strongly about flipping the 210,it's a great looking watch.

the White Milgauss is actually quite a striking piece - not the most popular one, but judging from history, the least popular Rolex have always became the collectors item in the future... no long? no idea |

Nope. Would keep the 210 in this scenario.

White Millie can be beautiful... but a tough choice. I would trade 210 for the GV though.

210 gets my vote. If you need to go white in the rolex line consider the explorer or the daytona :)

imo - it is a no contest if you can find a PAM232 with all the bits at a great price. the gold hands against the brown dial is to die for.... ps - as much as im liking a PAM210, but i cant see why it is a better watch than a 116400 Milgauss? each to his/her own i suppose |

hahah well... yes, it depends on our taste.... as for me, 210 is better because i can change the straps LOL.... but you are right, i may be naive by saying 210 is a better watch...

Both are very nice watches in their own right. IMO it's not possible to say which is the "better'' watch because all sorts of subjective criteria would color the picture. |
