I don't know boys?? The original 1019 Milgauss still rules...for me..

I tried on a new green crystal Milgauss from a dealer friend of mine..Still not the same.. The oldie but goody still rules for me.. I guess they have to grow on you, the new Milgauss does..
Cheers Arthur

Wonderful example Arthur. The new Milgauss is quite a watch, but there's just something special about vintage.

That is the model they should have come back with, why this crazy lightning bolt hand nonsense. That is a great looking vintage piece, enjoy, I wish I was fortunate to have one in my collection.

There is just something special about a unique, vintage Rolex such as yours. It really has character.

Excellent! That is one you don't see very often. Was the red white & blue reflection on the indices intended?
