New member of the family - Milgauss

I picked up an award from my company at a recent meeting. I'm pretty proud of getting the recognition, but the fact that the award was a new Rolex Milgauss is pretty great. While the Milgauss wasn't on my list of top watches, it's a beautiful watch that I can wear anytime.

I took it out of the box and immediately wore it the rest of the night. Along with my GMT-IIC.

Attached pictures were taken at the event, pardon the bad lighting.

Thanks, all!

I wouldn't flip it for another watch, not while I'm working here anyhow! But I can't say that it didn't cross my mind that I could trade it in on a Sub!

It gives me something different to wear too. The fact that I don't have to set the date correctly (especially with GMT complication) speeds up the "Hey, let me throw that watch on for a day" decision. If I put my GMT back on within a day or two, it's fine too.

Cool watch, been getting some positive comments from watch guys.

I have an orange/black striped NATO that I bought for my GMT-IIC that would work well. Didn't even think of it, thanks for reminding me!

When I joined the company I learned about the award and the goals necessary to achieve it. I told our regional sales manager "I'm going to win one of those for my sales executive" (I'm a technical sales engineer). That was last October. I guess my word is as good as gold... or stainless steel anyhow!
