I love it.BOTH of them.

Although I wish that rolex had used fatter hour and minute hands for the new Milgauss....

Robb · 26 October 2007, 07:56 PM

Looks much better that I thought on the wrist. Congrats!

worktolivelife · 26 October 2007, 07:59 PM

Nice 40mm compromise between dress and sports IMO

Kinda youthful retro

SPACE-DWELLER · 26 October 2007, 09:05 PM

Awesome!

And congrats! You must be the first "TRF'er" to own one!

The new Milgauss is not my cup of tea, though, and I would prefer having the older one.

Stef_Call · 26 October 2007, 09:23 PM

Congrats. Looks great on your wrist !! Goes very well with the suit !! Enjoy !!

nowonder · 26 October 2007, 10:26 PM

Congrats on the purchase. Very nice collection. Old to new. How much is the Milgauss selling for if you don't mind me asking? I really like the orange contrast. Enjoy your new watch and wear it with pride.

Congrats on your new Milgauss

It is very interesting to see it beside the 1019. Given that the 1019 is 37mm there doesn't really seem to be much difference in size to the new 40mm version.
The bezel on the 1016 looks narrower than on the new Milgauss.
I agree as said it does seem to go well with your suit/shirt & jacket.
Thanks for the photos

ohlins · 27 October 2007, 12:50 AM

All three dials are different. Gotta love variety!

Beef · 27 October 2007, 07:25 AM

I knew that it was 40mm wide, but did not realize that it was as thick as a Sub. From the ad pics, I thought that the thickness was about like an EXP I. That's some chunk of watch.
