Milgauss Vs GMT IIc

Hello folks,

First post here - so a BIG hello to everyone, and thanks for all the knowledge and information (and fun!) that keeps flowing through here....

I am looking at purchasing my first Rolex, and after some delibaration (which included leanings towards DSSD - but I already have an Omega PO XL...DSSD will have to wait another day/year) have narrowed it down to these exact two:

GMT IIc



Milgauss



Some input requested from folks here:

1). Heft - for those who have/had owned/tried both, which one has more heft to it? I like to be able to "tell/feel" a watch on my wrist, so which one is/feels heftier that way?

2). Balance - of course it varies by shape and size of every individuals wrist, but what has been your experience, does either 'sit' better than the other on your wrist?

3). Size perception - does the Milgauss 'feel' bigger than the 40mm it is given minimal bezel?

4). Bracelet - what do you think are pros/cons of each? Does the quick expansion on Milgauss bracelet really practically help out?

I have tried both at two different ADs (not at the same time though...) and will again next week or so, but the 15-20 minutes you get to spend with a watch in the store, while useful, doesn't really match up to an owner's opinion.....so please chime in and help out!

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to my time here
