Being a 42mm plus guy, I purchased this Milguass>>

(never trying one on) based on it's unique look. I had a preconceived notion that the watch would be up for sale almost immediately due to it's size. Six months later the Milgauss has GROWN to be one of my favorite watches.

I'll second that! Mine gets top wrist time over my SD, IIc and Daytona. It's just very unique.

surprising it wear quite nicely on the wrist. My GV also gets plenty of time, especially when you fancy a Rolex but do not want to be noticed......

Better poll SS Daytona's best matey.

I only own a SS daytona with black dial. what would you chose as best to go along with her?
the poll only has the rolexes that i have on my wishlist and that i will own. but after i get one more it will be quitw some time before the next one.

Which would you chose next and why.

Wore mine to dinner last night :)

Great watch, I do not wear it most days when working as I am pretty rough on my watches but I like to wear it in the evenings and on weekends.

great choice! the GV is a very handsome and unique watch in the Rolex range.

quick question, what is a GV? a sports watch or a dressy watch?
