GV, but either way you can't go wrong.

JUSTROLEXES · 7 July 2011, 02:32 PM

GV all the way for me

sea-dweller · 7 July 2011, 03:08 PM

Explorer 1...

sableng · 7 July 2011, 03:59 PM

I dont have one but explorer my choice

Singslinger · 7 July 2011, 07:07 PM

No doubts for me - GV.

warrior · 7 July 2011, 07:25 PM

Explorer. Simply put, more timeless and versatile. I don't think you can beat an everyday comfortable watch.

The Milgauss is less comfortable...very very heavy for a Rolex.

Lol-x · 7 July 2011, 08:37 PM

Milgauss GV no contest there

But if you had to choose between the new soon to be released EXII and the Milgauss GV I would go with the EXII.

Any other Explorer except a 1016 or a 1655 will not beat a Milgauss GV IMHO.

Cru Jones · 7 July 2011, 08:42 PM

another thought....i see you have a pam 411 (nice piece!), so you've got the "simplicity" side covered. when looking at all three watches, i think the GV complements the DSSD and 411 much better than the explorer, which will compete with the 411 for simplicity and the DSSD for sport. get something different, go GV.

glimmer · 7 July 2011, 10:12 PM

Was thinking about this too...deciding between the two. Does anyone own both and have a photo or two?

vukotab · 7 July 2011, 10:18 PM

GV for a micrometer!
I`m enamored with Explorer for a lifetime, it`s just those PCL and greenish crystal that I find very attractive!

forerunner · 7 July 2011, 11:35 PM

I'm all about the GV but I'm sensing you really want the Explorer.

Either way seems like a a win/win to me.

gv . green passion

The Floridian · 8 July 2011, 03:39 AM

I haven't seen a Milgauss in person. The pictures look to me like it's a dressed down DateJust.

How do they compare in size? Details?

I think I might enjoy a high-end comfortable/casual watch. This thread has peeked my interest. I'll have to drop by an AD and try one on.

Gerardus · 8 July 2011, 04:54 AM

EX1 no doubt

stockae92 · 8 July 2011, 05:14 AM

tough one, but I would go for GV cause it has better bracelet, and mag resistant

Explorertwo · 8 July 2011, 06:26 AM

As much as i like the explorer, i would go for the GV: something different as Cru Jones stated.... But this not really important: try them and you'll find out right away!!
I went to buy the Explorer 39mm, but walked out with the SubC and never regretted...It'svwhatbeveryone says: the one that sings....

Good luck: let us know!

Fantastic , thanks for that.

tudorlex · 8 July 2011, 05:14 PM

explorer, classy classic.

Andad · 8 July 2011, 05:50 PM

That was the easiest Poll for a while - GV hands down.

Ultraman · 8 July 2011, 07:11 PM

GV, you have to own one to know it's allure and it compliment your watch collection well.

wisguy · 9 July 2011, 12:27 PM

I went in to buy one of these two, walked out with the Milgauss and never looked back.

As soon as I tried them on I knew, I suggest you go try them on.

Shedevil · 9 July 2011, 01:37 PM

I love the mil gauss!

erikscollectables · 15 July 2011, 10:07 PM

Had a look at both and decided to go for the Explorer 1 last week.
Was tempted because I too was offered a Milgauss but the Explorer is the real classic and the new one is finally big enough :)

I had both lined up but went for the Explorer. Very versatile for all occasions IMHO. Sounds like you could get a good Milgauss deal though and a GV is a great choice also! Let us know when you go for it and post some pics!
