So i am taking the wife and kids on a wonderful holiday to Crete in August and realise that my next purchase (exp.II white dial) was always going to have to wait until a little after that.
So, i've been thinking. What if i just held on a little longer and got milgauss white dial?
I really love both of these watches as they don't stand out as your typical Rolex style watches whilst still having the same style and elegance of they're more well known brothers.
What do you reckon, boys and girls? It was always going to be only the one more purchase as i am a working man with a young family.
I'm not on the bread line and want for very little but 4k sterling for the milgauss maybe pushing it a bit as opposed to 3kish for the expII.
Your thoughts please.

I personally am not a fan of the Milguass but I say you should wait for the one you really want. If it is the Milguass I think you should go for that. Delayed satisfaction will only heighten the experience.

Wait on making a decision until the infatuation settles. I almost bought the black dial 16613, a decision I would be regretting now...

Life is short; buy the watch that calls out to you the most.

Being so close to Bazel, I think I'd wait to see what might come.

mopsey · 15 March 2008, 01:01 PM

don't get me wrong, its going to be at least 8-10 months before i take the plunge so theres plenty of time for the urge to lessen.
Maybe. lol.

timackerman · 15 March 2008, 01:09 PM

I think that the White Milgauss is an awesome looking watch, go for it

You don't marry a girl before you date her for awhile.
Try them on for size.
See which pulls your string.

n9zez · 15 March 2008, 02:06 PM

I agree, I think the white Milguass is one sharp looking watch.

It will be my next Rolex for sure, I just don't know when!

nsolga · 15 March 2008, 05:06 PM

Milgauss - exp is no match IMHO!!!

mickeydainish · 15 March 2008, 06:02 PM

I think Milgauss is a good choice. But before you buy it, try to look the black dial. I think the black Milgauss look stunning too.

Wait for Basel!

i would love to see how that looks on my hand

Listen to your heart and not the voices in your head. If you really want the Milguass white, go for it.

if you wait long enough, you might find a green glass for around $2million!

get the milgauss if that's your heart's desire.

The white Milgauss is a fantastic watch IMO.

I live on the breadline and I have one.

You may well be able to get one closer to the 3k mark in a couple of month's time, preowned and mint.

Gurmot · 16 March 2008, 02:36 AM

....I think Millhouse is ok but not sure if he is my favourite.
Oh, hang-on, wrong forum!

The Milgauss is a great looking watch...

The EXP II is a great looking watch..

This is a tough decision for me...Like Spacey and Mike, they all call my name..

From a practical perspective, the EXP II is a more versatile watch...
