and you can only buy one of two watches:

...or a new Day-Date.

Which would you buy, and why?

Newportkrieger · 25 November 2010, 12:46 PM

New classic YG day/date. I do not need an anti magnetic watch and I do not think the Milgauss is a particularly great looking watch.

MoosicPa · 25 November 2010, 12:51 PM

I'd go with the vintage Milgauss. It's rarer than a modern DD and will probably appreciate more in value over time...... and it's a kewl looking watch!

BarkMaster · 25 November 2010, 12:51 PM

Of those two, I'd get the new DD.

Then I'd get out my Dremmel tool and bark it.

A new DD because it looks nicer, will get a lot more wrist time and won't require maintenance for several years.

kyle L · 25 November 2010, 12:53 PM

Milgauss.

nauticajoe · 25 November 2010, 12:55 PM

DD's got my vote.

wehttaM · 25 November 2010, 12:57 PM

The Milgauss gets my vote.

Le Chef · 25 November 2010, 01:27 PM

Neither. For $20K there are much better watches out there. Check out what AP, Breguet, Lange, Patek, and Vacheron have to offer.

Watchdog · 25 November 2010, 01:40 PM

The old Milgauss does nothing for me (except for the fact that it is rare, probably because it didn't sell well in the first place). I do like the DD; however, I think the price is steep.

Ultimately, I guess I would go with the DD.

Joey_V · 25 November 2010, 06:26 PM

Depends on what you're after.

If you're after rarity and value-preservation, then get the Milgauss.

If you're after daily use, get the DD.

dddrees · 25 November 2010, 06:42 PM

Personally I would get the new DD. Bark or no Bark thats the club for me.

The GMT Master · 25 November 2010, 07:03 PM

I would probably get the Day-Date, if we had to remain with those particular two choices. The vintage Milgauss does nothing for me, and I would never buy a watch just because it was rare

Puffy · 25 November 2010, 07:05 PM

Milgauss for me.

But if I had £20k to spend the last place in the world I'd go would be Watch Club. They have Bond St's most over inflated prices. Great high res images on their website though,

What he said......

Paracentesis · 25 November 2010, 07:19 PM

That Milgauss was up for £20k, box, but no papers. I don't know whether that's good or bad.

Welshwatchman · 25 November 2010, 07:38 PM

If these were the only choices I'd go for two new DD's, yellow gold with white baton dial and a white gold with a darker dial.

..... or the snazzy DD2 they have in stock with the black wave dial and keep the £7,000 change.

Gold gold gold!

hooliganhooker · 25 November 2010, 11:20 PM

Assumption: Vintage Milgauss may not be available the next time I have that amount of money.

Went with the vintage, the new DD is an awesome watch but can be picked up any time.

Kokyuryoku · 25 November 2010, 11:24 PM

New DD. How else am I going to know what day it is

Fearsome Puppy · 25 November 2010, 11:31 PM

DD for me, already have a Milgauss albeit not quite as nice a vintage as the one pictured...

Shade · 25 November 2010, 11:31 PM

Milgauss is not entirely my type old or new.. Dd is much more me. However with that much money I would get myself a lange 1 whitegold with soiree mop dial..

azkri · 25 November 2010, 11:35 PM

New 36mm DD. In Platinum, please.
Its the ultimate classic for me.

That's a tough one....Not many Rolexes I'm drawn to at that price point, and I'm not into vintage or the DD's.

Maybe this Daytona?
