Just picked this up

After deciding on a 39mm Exp I as my next Rolex, I went one last time to my AD to try it on. During the visit I made one last comparision to the Black Milguass and was swayed. The overall height and size of the case did it for me and there was no going back.

Congrats on the MG! Gotta Love Lightning.

Would you care to share the $Δ of the MG vs. the Exp?

I was really tempted to get this one but the second hand put me off. No matter how much I started at it to like it, I couldnt get away with the "lightening bolt" hand design.

Still an amazing watch though. Very nice. Congrats.

Thx guys...much appreciated. I thought i would have the PCL's and top of the lugs brushed immediatley after receiving it (since I didn't like them on my old GMT II ceramic), but something about it looks right to me the way it is.

+1 the MG looks like it needs the PCL's, whereas I think the GMT needs the BCL's. Afterall, this isn't a million miles away from what the DJII looks like ( ok a tad smaller and yes its got its own faraday cage and ok its a tad taller, and yes it has an orange lightening hand oh ok and it doesn't have a date...... oh alright, its a little bit like one ;o)

Nice pick up. If you are worried about scratches might want to loose the extra jewelry on the same wrist. I have been soooooo close to pulling the trigger on a GV about 5 times, just love to have a date.
