milgauss or GO sport evolution?

I ordered the glasshutte original sport evolution choronograph 3 months ago and basically am committed to buy it (just arrived.) Perhaps the ad will let me switch it for the milgauss instead? Do you guys think it is worth it? They are about the same price. Don't know what to do??

In my opinion I think that the non anniversary Milgauss are quite ugly so I would for sure go for the other watch. Then again you are the one wearing so try them both on, and as far as being commited to the watch don't worry about it he is in a business he will probably be happy to sell either one.

i'm not in love with the black face milgauss, but as to the Glasshutte, i went to their website to look so as to be able to answer your question, and there are many variations of that watch....so can't comment unless you show a pic or specify a particular model.
best, dan

Same here

I prefer it to the milgauss

To be honest i was never a big milgauss fan but this glashutte is a knock-out

The two are quite different of course--the Glasshute is a Chronograph while the Milgauss is primarily a watch you can use near magnetic fields. It depends on what your goal is. If you are looking for a quick turnaround to sell, I would go for the Milgauss, if you want a chronograph, go for the GO. Glasshute Original is a nice brand.

Having handled the GO and owning a Milgauss I would rather have the GO.

What are the pros that make the GO the best choice?

I haven't seen one from close or handled one

I'll be the lone voice in the wilderness and say between those two the Milgauss. Had it been the GMT version I might feel differently.

I agree with those that say their two very different watches.

I'm with Mike.

That GO is the least interesting model of their entire catalog.

Just because a watch calls itself a "diver" doesn't make it so. The Dubius diver is the only other high-end dive watch that would lead to the death of a diver who actually relied on reading it under water! They are far more BLING than DIVE.

Just IMO.
