Third one this month...

After a couple of AP's this month I bought this:



I wanted it for a long time and had a tough time deciding between getting this or the new 39mm Explorer.

I'm very happy with it, it feels great on the wrist, it's very comfortable and has great presence.

Here's the rest of the family, I'll take a new family picture shortly.



I NEED to stop this expensive hobbie...

I love the plain black one. I think the GV looks great as well, but not worth the premium over the regular black on to me. Congrats!

I had such a hard time deciding weather to get the RO with a white or black dial, your's looks awesome.

I also like that GO a lot, been thinking about getting it with a strap, how is it? Any comments?

I have thought about it many times, too similar to the GMTIIc...

Unless it's an LV but I don't like the new one with the green dial and the old bracelet... I don't know... Maybe in the future.

When I bought the Milgauss I almost buy a 14060M also, but ended up getting my wife a 116200 with the flowers on the dial.

Someday... but I'm in no rush.
