Hello everyone,

I'd like to post my first thread in TRF! Here I go:

I have been having difficulties deciding between the Explorer 1(39mm Dwarf) or the Milgauss GV. Now with the release of the new Explorer 1, it's gonna be a tougher decision to pick one from these 3 beauties.

I am looking for a versatile watch for weekdays suit attire and weekend tee/jeans/sneakers casual. It will be sharing my wrist time evenly with my Hulk and Batman.

Any pictures and thoughts will be appreciated, thank you in advance, cheers!

I tired of my GV....You already have plenty of colour in your collection, so I'd go for the new Explorer.

New explorer for me

Another vote for new Explorer here.

Funny, i'm in the same boat as you. Black GV or Explorer 1. As i think the explorer will be more comfortable in wearing and considering the new dial and hands, it will probably be the 'new' explorer...

New Exp1 is a winner!

Explorer. As mentioned, you have plenty of color in your collection. Also, why would you want to feel as if a BRICK was on your wrist? The Milgauss is very top heavy and when I had it, it actually felt heavier than the divers in my collection.

I'd wait for the new variation of the Explorer. I wonder how long we'll have to wait to see one at an AD...

What a coincidence

More comfortable, because Explorer is much more thinner right?

Yup I nearly forget about the weight! Thank you for your advice!

My AD said it'll arrive between Aug-Sep. Can't wait to try it on!
