Don't know why he bought a Milgauss, probably because it was one of the cheapest Rolexes to buy in those days.
After traveling all around the world on my uncles arm, it finally ended up in New Zealand in one of his drawers.
About 20 years ago I asked him whether he still owned that old Rolex. He did!
I asked him what he wanted for it... He said a Citizen Aqualand would be fine.
