Tough choice...........very tough.....but I vote for expl.

mtrunner · 25 May 2011, 01:39 AM

I have to go with the Explorer but this is certainly a very tough choice.

Cru Jones · 25 May 2011, 01:43 AM

the new explorer is nice, but, the black dial Milgauss is a personal favorite of mine. a bit of dress, a bit of sport, a bit of a splash of color. nice weight. nice hands (not to open that can of worms or anything

).

good luck.

zak98 · 25 May 2011, 01:46 AM

milgauss. for sure.. would love it even more if it were in an 'all brushed' finish.

speedo · 25 May 2011, 01:57 AM

easy answer. gv.
sorry exp fans, but that is the only sport (is it a sport rolex?) rolex which does nothing for me. i like understatement and simplicity but it is just a bit too much of those.

evanvito · 25 May 2011, 02:00 AM

+1 for the Explorer

99leeric · 25 May 2011, 02:01 AM

+ for Milgauss GV

LWRN · 25 May 2011, 02:02 AM

Darn, that is a tough ?. I agree with Zak98, if the GV mil-goose was brushed, it would be an easier choice. So I say get the goose and brush it.

Rollie2011 · 25 May 2011, 02:03 AM

Tough one... If gave to go with the Exp

RotaryRider · 25 May 2011, 02:03 AM

Explorer....but by only a hair.....

Sherwooddavid · 25 May 2011, 02:04 AM

I really like the Milgauss and almost bought one a couple years ago. Though you can't go wrong with either one.

JUSTROLEXES · 25 May 2011, 02:06 AM

Milgauss for me

Bmonroy17 · 25 May 2011, 02:10 AM

Milgauss, its nice having a Rolex that looks different than the other models. It's good to be different in my book.

glimmer · 25 May 2011, 02:16 AM

Tough call...but I'd go with Explorer for now. Still a bit off about the Milgauss seconds hand.

JakaB · 25 May 2011, 03:10 AM

I've bought both this year, gave my son the GV for graduating from engineering school. The Explorer is lower profile but has a much nicer bracelet.

Christiaan · 25 May 2011, 03:16 AM

The only reason I didnt pick the Big Explorer is because of the short hands...really bother me.

Speed · 25 May 2011, 03:17 AM

OK....

So what brought it down to these two watches for you?

What are your thoughts and feelings?

Director EDTF · 25 May 2011, 03:25 AM

Exp. for me!

Luggy · 25 May 2011, 03:34 AM

I think the seconds-hand on the Milgauss is dorky so I'd hve to go with the explorer.. the explorer is one of my faves anyway.

J.Alan · 25 May 2011, 03:51 AM

I vote for the Milguass GV, but the AD's in my area are treating it like a collector piece - no deals!! Probably easier to deal on the Explorer.

youenjoymyself · 25 May 2011, 03:54 AM

Milgauss and preferably GV.

Explorer is boring imho.

travisb · 25 May 2011, 03:56 AM

I prefer the thicker case and the PCLs don't bother me.
39mm Exp is a great watch but of the 2, I'll take the Milgauss.

Mosco · 25 May 2011, 04:03 AM

GV - clear choice

rolexertion · 25 May 2011, 04:42 AM

Not a fan of the GV, not even a little bit. To me it looks like the motley costume of the court jester, or the harlequin character in commedia dell'arte. Too many jarring, discordant colors. No trace of elegance or refinement. Stay with the Explorer I, it is very elegant and understated.

danberger · 25 May 2011, 04:43 AM

GV all the way.

RRGHOST1 · 25 May 2011, 04:51 AM

I picked the Milgauss but i prefer the white dial model really, a tough choice but you cant lose whichever one you get.

snowpea · 25 May 2011, 08:48 AM

GV just love the look

Art 1 · 25 May 2011, 08:49 AM

Easily the Explorer.

sea-dweller · 25 May 2011, 08:50 AM
