I've had this for about a week now and had plans to make it my dress-up watch, but it does dress-down nicely.

Here it is with the PCL bracelet:

From all of the comments here about PCL's in general I was prepared to hate the bracelet. In fact, I love it! While most people concentrate on the center links, what I notice is the outside brushed links. To me it has the appearance of an Oyster Jubilee - if there is such a term - and just works with the smooth bezel.

Here are some other pictures of different straps I've had on it this week.

Orange stitched sailcloth:

Orange striped Zulu:

NOTE - When I say "dress-up" please keep in mind that this is from a person that if he were ever elected President, would ban shoes as the first thing he did in office. Dressing-up for me is wearing socks.

I've been wanting a white faced Rolex for a while and was contemplating an Explorer II (five-digit) but was drawn to the looks of the Milgauss.

I also have a Sub Date and GMT Master I on Jubilee so I think I'm done with Rolex purchases. For now...

Wow! Stunning. I can see why you're infatuated.

AmbSteve · 2 May 2013, 10:58 AM

What a crisp dial and it looks amazing on a bracelet as well as those straps. Outstanding piece

Olav16710 · 2 May 2013, 10:58 AM

Man that is a beautiful watch!

Congrats on such a great purchase.

Nice pics too.

FremStar · 2 May 2013, 11:01 AM

Looks great on the sailcloth! Continue to enjoy your Milgauss in good health!

lja1821 · 2 May 2013, 11:05 AM

Looks mint

Boopie · 2 May 2013, 11:09 AM

Very nice! I like the sailcloth.

kcmo · 2 May 2013, 11:13 AM

Looks great! I'm crazy about white dials! Enjoy!

therolexguy · 2 May 2013, 11:19 AM

It's very underrated. I love your strap options.

jason1332 · 2 May 2013, 11:22 AM

Like that A LOT on cloth.

b06tmm · 2 May 2013, 11:27 AM

Thanks All!

The sailcloth strap is my favorite too, besides the "Oyster Jubilee".

Looks good on the straps you've selected.

Nice combinations. They look great. Congrats.

ledas1 · 2 May 2013, 12:06 PM

Nice! Are those sticks orange luminova?

Trouble15 · 2 May 2013, 12:08 PM

Looking good!

salem65 · 2 May 2013, 12:18 PM

The Milgauss really does lend itself well to any strap combo. Great piece

They are actually blue:

Fantastic

boogiebot · 2 May 2013, 12:42 PM

The milgauss use to be one of my least favorite watches. It has totally grown on me over the last year. In fact it's now on the short list of watches to own.

Congrats and enjoy

Urosfan · 2 May 2013, 12:55 PM

Looks sharp

Psmith · 2 May 2013, 01:07 PM

Great-looking watch , congrats!

I like the PCLs - polished steel looks good

swils8610 · 2 May 2013, 01:20 PM

Very nice! I really enjoy my Milgauss. Not sure why the Milgauss doesn't get the attention it deserves.

I love my Milgauss. Seen both a GV and a white dial in the wild and each time it made me want this piece so badly. Picked mine up a few months ago and while I haven't had a lot of opportunity to wear it just yet, it will be on my wrist almost everyday once I am in a shirt and tie starting in July.

Thanks Ken, all pictures were taken with my iPhone.

That looks great! Are there any issues running a strap like that on a watch designed for the oyster end links? I have a black Milgauss myself & would like to try a strap.

Hairdude1 · 2 May 2013, 02:42 PM

Looks great!

Cru Jones · 2 May 2013, 04:15 PM

So crisp, clean, classy and fun.

the white Milgauss!

And the straps look good on it.

Lumberjact · 2 May 2013, 05:41 PM

Of the three Millgauss models, the white is REALLY growing on me!

Great pics and strap options.
