Is the Milgauss GV your only watch?
Have you tried on the other watches?
Do you need a chronograph?
Do you need a dress watch?
Do you need a dive watch?

Milgauss gv is my only watch at the moment. Leaning towards a day date because I wont ever use the chronograph function. To really confuse things I have my eye on a Lange 1815 but that would require me to flip my Milgauss.

That is the exact model I saw at my AD and fell in love with! I was afraid to pull the trigger because I wasnt sure if it could be my only watch as an everyday wearer. How versatile of a watch do you find you r 1815?

It is a beautiful dress watch. It could be worn everyday but that would put alot of wear on the strap especially in hot humid weather.

I would not want it to be my only watch but for times when I am dressing for the office or an evening out it is a great watch to wear. The solid gold is a real presence on the wrist, the fit and finish is outstanding.

Having said that I love it as part of a collection as I enjoy wearing my Daytona, Sub or other pieces.

Given that you like the Milgauss and I really don't (and therefore we can assume you have the opposite taste to me), I'm guessing you'll be happier with the TT Sub in the long run.

Personally: I love full gold watches but there is a lot to be said about new vs old so I would pass on the preowned and go for a new Daytona. The Black Daytona is AWESOME and the only reason I sold mine was to get a gold one. Daytona's are THAT good!

PS: Ignore the white Daytona lovers, they don't know what they're missing. The black dial is WAAAAAAY better!

Go for the Daytona black dial - such a great watch. In fact the whole range is worth getting, just depends in which order!!
