Does anyone know what the black marking is for opposite the bezel on the Milguass. I have seen one with a '3' on it...

What does it mean??

They are both great. I own a black one, and thinks it the o n e. I found that the white one has two different orange colors - that bugs me a lot. Otherwise its a damn nice looking watch!

The only thing I can say for sure is... See, and compare, them in real life. Then your heart will decide

/ Good luck from another Milgauss-member

Get what your heart desires

Trurolexer - I would get the white since that is what you prefer. As for resale value, the black dial does seem to fetch a few hundred dollars of a premium for now, but who knows in 5 or 10 years? Remember the original Milgauss was a really slow seller and now look at what its worth. So, I think you should just get what you like!

I really think black, makes it look more expensive. You could put your name down for a GV and wait to get it for list price.. it looks like Rolex are supplying much more since they have nearly solved the production issues with the Green Sapphire?

Black for me!



When it comes to a Milgauss it has to be Black. If a Daytona on the other hand, it has to be White; go figure huh?

Kind regards

, I feel exactly the oposite: black daytona and white milgauss, which only proves how personal this kind of choice really is.

Maybe later.
I'm considering to buy Bluesy in early next year (January) before the price increase again.
For sure I will go for Milgauss, but still waiting for the goods to arrive in my AD first.
BTW Bagaimana dengan GMT baru loe?
Absolutely STUNNING, right?

harus byr tax masuk Aust, jadi total2 habis skitar 60jt.
AD disini juga ada Pepsi tapi sedikit lebih mahal and Z series

I generally like white faces over black but for the Milgauss I like the black - I think it goes well with the orange second hand and markings and looks quite distinctive.

I like both dials, but if I could get ahold of the black dialed version with the green tint I would choose that one first. Even so, I feel the white dialed version is also gorgeous.

Loe udah isi tanggalnya? Kalo saran gue nanti aja, jangan di isi dulu. Nama juga di kosongin aja, soalnya kalo loe kapan2 mau jual, lebih gampang kalo namanya kosong. Tanggal di isi taun depan aja, Januari awal. atau di isi kalo memang perlu di isi, jangan buru2 di isi. Jadi barang loe tetap brand new terus, you know what I mean?

Yup pasti
I dont think I'll ever sell it

Oya, kalo saya isi sendiri berarti saya akan dapet 2 yrs guarantee?
Walaupun ADnya di US sedangkan saya kirim ke RSC di Aust?

Yes, sure no problem Bro. Di mana saja RSC-nya no problem. Asalkan AD tempat loe beli itu benar2 agent resmi Rolex.
BTW belum di isi kan tanggalnya? Please don't do that. Isi kalo benar2 penting saja.
Contohnya jamnya perlu di service, baru di isi. Jadi guarantee-nya bisa lebih lama lagi. OK Bro?
Enjoy that Beauty Bro!!!

This is a rather useless opinion, I fear... but when has that ever stopped me before?



It is a useless opinion because I'm not drawn to any of that particular flavor, but if pushed to possession I'd opt for the black faced, green crystal item, because it has the strongest identity. However, I admit I have no idea what I'd wear it with...
