DJ II. Blue Romans would be a great choice.

I am quite in to science so the millie calls to me but on the other hand I am for ever looking at the date and like the sparkle of the fluted bezel. I think therefore it has to be the DJII.

Thanks chaps...

GV get's my vote. Love a DJ with a diamond dial as long as the bezel is smooth though.

When i purchased my last watch the choice was between the milgauss gv and any stainless or stainless and wg dj2. In the end I ended up choosing the gv because it just felt more substantial on my wrist. To me at least the dj2, especially the flat bezel, looks fantastic but it just feels a little bit flimsy and light. While the milgauss has many of the same attributes (the bracelet is probably the same, pcl's etc) it just had a more substantial feel. I think i would probably make the same choice today, hell I only bought the gv a month ago might be flipped by the time you buy yours haha. Good Luck. Hope this helps.

Is the dichotomy choosing between your good lady and another watch?

I would pick the DJ2. Has a date function and its more conservative appearance appeals to me more than the Milgauss with that lightning bolt second hand.

Good luck with your decision.

Dj2 all day, it has great wrist presence. A lot of people love the mil, but I could never warm up to it

I currently own a 116300 and owned a black Milgauss in the past.

If I had to do it again I would get the Milgauss GV and call it a day.

But I always seem to the like the best I don't have or have sold!

Both are amazing but at the very end, nothing beats the fluted bezel. So my vote will have to go to the DJII

They are both beautiful. However, you said that you are forever looking for the date. You may not be happy for very long with the Milgauss.

DJ2, It's a classic that will go with anything. I'm not a fan of the Millgauss at all, it can be on the bottom of my wish list just below a new pair of socks.

DJII every time. Milgauss is underwhelming in comparison.

I love milgauss, but if i were in your position i'd go with the DJ II ss with the blue Roman dial with fluted bezel.
