I pulled the trigger...

I've been undecided about what to get, a Milgauss or a GMTIIC, after some hesitation today I walked into my regular AD and told my saleswoman that today was the day and it was just a matter of me deciding which one and she deciding how low she was willing to go.

I tried both on one more time and decided for the GMTIIc, after some discussion we arrived at the magical number of 23% discount off List Price.

Needless to say I couldn't be happier, and needless to say if I found some money laying in the floor somewhere I would run and get the Milgauss (seems like a need to work harder to get that one too in the future).

I suck at picture taking so I leave it to the pros:

A 23% discount is great, but not unheard of in Mexico, List Prices are a bit higher than in the US.

I really like the Black dial Milgauss, not the GV (don't like the orange markers that much).
