Coming back to Rolex - the classic

Hello all,

Have my Milgauss GV for three years now. Tried other brands here and there, the Panerais, the Omegas and the likes....finally follow my heart and back to the all time classic.

Thanks to DavidSW for a great transaction, couldn't be happier.

Sorry for the poor iphone pics, and haven't had a chance to adjust the links yet. Hopefully some better photos later!

When I was ready to pull the trigger on my first Rolex. It was between the Milgauss GV and the Exp II, 2010 old version. At the end, couldn't resist the green crystal.

Surprisingly, all I sudden I got the craving of the Exp I but not the Exp II....I guess I just really would like an all time classic in my collection and with the larger watch trend and its versatile unisex look, perhaps it could be a hand me down to my daughter somewhere down the road!

Thanks Tony! A bit of a impulse buy but I think it's worth it.

Good to hear from you
