Thanks guys. I gotta admit that I even like the rolex surrounding the inside of the bezel, plus the nice thing about it is that it will be harder to make copies of the watch.

Great looking watch I hope you enjoy it very much.

How does it sit and feel on your wrist? What is the circumference of your wrist?

My wrist circumference is 7". I currently own a Daytona, Seadweller and a explorer II. This watch feels just as comfortable as anyone of the other sport watches we love.

two things though

1. Im still leaving the plastic onthe watch as I dont know if I can afford to keep it.

2. I love everyting about this watch except.....there is no guard to protect the crown, and no date.

other than that the watch is perfect.

I too was taken aback the first time I saw one. Much bigger and better weighted IMHO than the other sport watches!

Congratulations! The Milgauss is fast becoming a favorite of mine as well.
