New nick suggestion!
The Milgauss is the little brother of the Clownmaster II
 The little brother's REAL name is: MIL-GAUDY!  (see Webster's Dictionary: "Gaudy". CLICK! )

NO - I don't think so Bo.
The new milgauss deserves better than that. IMO. Each time I see pix of it, I like it more and more. I need to try this one on before I could really decide. Bo! Have you tried one on? How did it feel? Have you seen and held a real one or just pix? I need to know this so I can value your latest Mil-Gaudy opinion. Eddie.

You are right, Eddie!
Let's just call it MIL-GHOST then?  Sorry, I just don't like the looks of it, and the pics tell me enough to say that I wouldn't like IRL, either. But yes, it is all a matter of personal preference.

I think that watch will grow on you after a while, even though it looks like it would be worn by Flash Gordon.
My nick name would be the Rolex Flash Gordon. Well it could be Ming the Merciless |

 Not every watch is everyone's cup of tea. I personally would never be caught in the 'currently' high demand Daytona. I would not wear it if someone threw it at me

If you don't like the Daytona, fair with me.
If you like the Milgauss, also fair with me. I am not judging people's taste here, just giving MY opinion on the watch.

I would also never say that the DJ, DD and ALL TT and YG Rolex watches are a flop. Also not the AK.
 But this was about the Milgauss, I believe?

I actually like the look of the Milgauss--but I would prefer a date function too. But even without this, I might buy one.

Going by the pictures, I think the Milgauss is a great looking watch. It has it's own distinction amongst all of the other models.
Just my .02 pesos.

 I don't get it.  Looks like an overpriced Air King with an ugly lightning bolt hand added.
