I've posted a few times, about how the Milgauss initially didn't "smile at me", and I bought it just because I had the opportunity to get one. Well, Milly is really starting to grow on me. The elegance, the crisp snow white dial, the orange offsets that look delicious enough to eat.

The watch is also enormous, and really needs to be seen in person, before it can be appreciated.

Hopefully these new wrist shots will help others appreciate it's beauty. I am in love!

mborkow · 4 February 2008, 07:41 AM

i want to like it...but i guess nothing will

mailman · 4 February 2008, 07:41 AM

I can see why. It sure is a good looking watch

Baptistman · 4 February 2008, 07:43 AM

I'm glad your enjoying your watch, but still doe's not float my boat. But enjoy it in good health.

PS. Lovely photos

Prince · 4 February 2008, 07:45 AM

Wow! Those ARE stunning photos!! Congrats!!!

SPACE-DWELLER · 4 February 2008, 07:45 AM

I admit! Very stylish and fresh-looking dial!

Congrats on getting the Milgauss!

oldrolex · 4 February 2008, 07:46 AM

very nice

arthur_daily · 4 February 2008, 07:48 AM

I'm quite taken with that....the orange and white work well together.

Hamilton Carvalho · 4 February 2008, 07:53 AM

I've seen this watch in person and I felt the same way when I saw the pics. Everytime I see this watch I keep telling myself "there is something missing there". I guess it is a matter of taste. Great pics and I'm glad you like it!

dufferin · 4 February 2008, 07:57 AM

I like it myself...
I guess I should not stick too much in the forum...
geez that's a nice watch...

sharif · 4 February 2008, 08:05 AM

I appreciate and respect everyone's comments. I know the Milgauss isn't for everyone. Rolex is a conservative company, and I think many Rolex owners are also a little bit on the conservative side. This is natural, as for years, Rolex models remain unchanged, sometimes for over a decade or two. This is a distinct part of what makes a Rolex a Rolex; only lightly altered over the decades. So when something radically different, such as the Milgauss and GMTIIc, or the leopard Daytona (LOL) is launched, there is bound to be some controversy.

Hope you don't think I was being rude, that model is just not for me, but we are all different. I don't want you to think I'm casting bad vibes

RolexSoFla · 4 February 2008, 08:10 AM

I hope you enjoy yours but the Milgauss is definitely not for me.

mike · 4 February 2008, 08:29 AM

That watch pops!

Really outstanding photos!!!

Tools · 4 February 2008, 08:36 AM

I like it....

It has it's own character and the colors work well.....much better than that other brand with the orang bezel and strap..

I think it is a great casual watch, and would be very impressive at board meetings etc...

As a Scientist and Engineer, it's a perfect watch for work and play... It kicks..

Leighton · 4 February 2008, 08:41 AM

I like it!

CoopJr · 4 February 2008, 09:29 AM

Nicest white face shots I've seen. Nice to hear that it's grown on you..funny how things work out some times.

frostie · 4 February 2008, 09:33 AM

Stunning photos but still the milgauss is not a watch that i would buy it 's not my taste

karwath · 4 February 2008, 09:50 AM

The white dial is striking and I think your photos capture the beauty of the watch!

Robb · 4 February 2008, 09:57 AM

Love it!!!! Congrats

bgriz · 4 February 2008, 10:02 AM

Nice shots

Lol-x · 4 February 2008, 10:04 AM

Congrats on the white Milgauss, and thanks for your photos they are excellent.
One of the best things about the white dial Milgauss is the lume (the markers glow blue).
A lume shot would be really cool if you get the chance.
For me I am hooked on the GV, that green crystal

but it is years away for me.

Wildwing · 4 February 2008, 10:11 AM

Well, to each his own. To me, orange does not belong on a watch. And the lightening bolt second hand is somewhat of an oddity. But I have 60s IWC and Omega watches that look plain to others and they can't imagine what it would cost to replace them. If the watch makes you feel good, and you can't wait to put it on in the morning, that's all that coiunts.

VESUVIO · 4 February 2008, 10:27 AM

It's a fun watch,
