Finally found something I don't like about my Milgauss

It doesn't go well with purple and gray stripes!

Now I'll have to talk my wife into a new watch for sure.

She'd probably recommend a new wardrobe instead...

Provided that she is a rational consumer.

The wife will probably tell you to get rid of the shirt vs buying a new watch.

True.

I had a MG GV and it goes best with my lime green shirt and crisp whites.

That day i saw a colleague of mine (a man flamboyant in his office wear) sporting a MG GV and he carries it so well, i don't think i can :)

I love that watch. I tried one on Sunday, in addition to trying on a YG Daytona, at a local AD. I liked the MilgaussGV better.

Good grief, why on earth would you buy a watch that doesn't match grey and purple stripes well?

I think we can all potentially learn from this man's experience, let's hope it turns out well!

That may be a good idea! Maybe a TT Sub or TT GMT, that way when it is too dressy and not working with something in the future I can more easily talk my way into a less costly and go with everything SS model!
