My First Rolex...
I picked up a new Milgauss with white face (V) and I've got to say I'm very impressed in every way with the watch. The watch has a great look on and I know it doesn't scream classic Rolex, but that's what I was after. I'm 28 and I wanted a Rolex that was less "classic Rolex" (not to offend anyone, my next one will be, classic) and something I haven't seen outside of an AD. I know the Milgauss does have a history that makes it a classic in it's own right, but the newer design really talked to me. The size and weight of the watch is just right for me even though I have what I would consider a smaller wrist. Oh and I forgot to mention that I really like orange!
Here are some pics as requested and I added some of my other toys in too.

Congrats on the purchase. I just bought my first modern Rolex, a classic two tone datejust, so I know you will enjoy your new watch.
I'm doing it backwards though as I will be buying an Explorer next month. Classic first only because I found a deal that was too good to pass up. |

Congrats on the watch. As you can see I list a Green Millie as my daily watch but my son, home from college, took it and left me his submariner. Like them both but mis the Milgauss.

Any suggestions on my next Rolex? Price range below 10k... I'm already starting to save up for the up coming year.

Yeah I use the bike for both TT and Tri's...I have all kinds of wheels, zipp sub-9, 808s, 404s, 202s (for road and crit races).
Since I'm set on bike stuff I'm hooked on Rolex now....from one expense to the next, right?
