Icon20 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.

Wouldn't really consider the DJ, DD or any of the TT models flops. They've been around for years and, in fact, the TT DJ is probably one of the fastest selling Rollies in the entire world.....especially in the Far East and Asian countries.

The DD has been very popular for decades and is one of the BEST looking all gold Rollies around.....still an all time classic on the President bracelet.

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.
