LV Sub, you will not be dissapointed. Milgauss is special too, but its not a sport model in my opinion

Personally, I'll be going Sport watch first, class/dress watch second...The sport watches are so versatile and can still be classy in a way. Then, save up for the dress watch! A BIG part of the fun is saving/waiting for your watch! Trust me, I know !!

Congrats on your first!
A sub would compliment your dj very well. Best of luck with your decision

There is no denying that the Milgauss is a hefty beauty. The sub however has the look, the date, and the formidable case. You just can not go wrong with the sub. I have had mine for 16 years and am still in love every time I look at it.

I debated the LVc and GV and ended up going Hulk, but, both are quite nice.

Old LV is great, new ceramic LV is awful. That green dial turns me off every time. Get the GV

Sub before the Milgauss. Sub is sportier and the Milgauss is more of a dress watch IMO.

Both are great watches and if it was me, I go with the LVC. Wait, I am going to by a LV with a day or two, so it is me lol. LVC is a awesome looking watch.

Good Day

Go with the LV sub. It's what you originally wanted. Then you can focus on the GV!

If I wanted to go green I wouldn't want it to be subtle. I would want it to be very green. Green crystal wouldn't be enough so I would go Hulk.
