Congrats!
Dunno what happened, but suddenly I got a craving! I just might get one of those in 2008. If I can raise the funds, that is!

Mike, did you notice that there are no threads visible on the crown tube of the Milgauss?
I noticed that when I tried on the GV recently and unscrewed the crown. I also noted that the crown was extremely easy to screw on again (no danger of cross-threading).

Wow, I just noticed that the diameter of the twin lock crown is about the same as the triple lock crown on the GMT. I hadn't noticed this before.

I wonder if opinions are changing about the new Milgauss now that stunning pictures are forthcoming.
I liked it from the first time I saw it. I'm just waiting for the call.

Congrats - beautiful watch.
So forgive me... I haven't been paying close attention. I presume only the model with the green crystal has the orange 3, 6, 9 markers? |

Great watch! Great pics! Great choice! I think that one is more beautiful than the green crystal because of the different dial :)
