A new rolex for a new member

Hello all,

I am new to this forum and new to Rolex. I know I am in the minority on this board as I am not a big fan of Rolex in general (blasphemy) Having said that, I fell in love with the Rolex Milgauss (non green crystal) black dial. I was finally able to add it to my small collection.

A big thank you to Alfred (FNFZ4) for selling me this watch and being so easy to deal with.

Another big thank you to Aaron (Combat Straps) for making some amazing straps for my collection..

Thank you, Cheers!

Nice collection! Usually not a Milgauss fan, but that combo looks great!

Nice collection. I have a couple of his straps also. Aaron does great work.

Congrats! Looks great! I love how the color of the straps go so well with the orange on the watch. I never have seen one with straps like this on it before. I'm really liking it! You have a great collection of watches too.

If you're not a big fan of Rolex in general, just hang around here for awhile and we'll change your mind in due time! You're already hooked with the Milgauss, so our work will be much easier since you're already partially converted. Lol!

Wow, that is a killer combo--looks so sharp. My friend has been mulling over a milgauss, and I just sent this to him for some inspiration

Congrats on the Milgauss!

I usually bite my tongue on a lot of the colorful straps that people will post here with their watch. However, in this case, it looks totally rad! Awesome combo with the orange accent!

This was my first Rolex I bought last year. Still mesmerized by the dial fluctuations in different light.
