First Milgauss in the Wild

Just spotted my first Migauss in the wild. It was a GV and I said "Great Migauss, you don't see many of those." and he complimented me on my DSSD and said he'd only seen one at the AD.

Fun to spot beautiful watches in their natural habitats.

I was looking at purchasing a new car the other day and the salesman was wearing a TT Daytona.

Yes, I had the same great feeling in July, and I posted about it. Seeing a Milgauss that is definitively a Rolex from afar, and yet with a twist, can be a lot of fun.

I saw a GV which was especially interesting. Seen them in AD cases before, but not in the wild.

The orange lightning bolt second hand is a thing of beauty.

A car salesman I spoke with recently was wearing a Rolex too. His was a Milgauss.

well...is the LA, Los Angeles, Louisiana, or Lower Alabama?

I haven't seen a GV in the wild, so if I am through your town I will keep an eye out, and if you make it through the Jackson, MS metro, keep an eye out for me!

It would be Los Angeles. Btw, mine is not a GV but I will keep an eye out for your DSSD!
