My first Rolex; Milgauss GV

Here are some quick pics of my new Milgauss GV. She's my first Rolex and so far, so good. I'm very pleased with it.

Sorry for the poor lighting in the photos. I'm proof that a decent camera can't make up for a lackluster photographer.

Thank you all. I'll work on getting some better pictures posted with natural lighting. In the meantime, thank you for the kind words.

That is nice first Rolex - now you don't have to worry about getting too close to the speaker towers!

Ha! It's funny, when I told my wife of the Milgauss' CERN history and its unqiue anti-magnetic capabilities her first response was "but you're not a CERN scientist." Oh well.

Thanks! I think the Speedy has a place in anyone's watch collection. It's truly one of the greats.

That too was my first watch and which also started my love affair with Rolex.

I absolutely love this watch. Love wearing it, I use it as my dress watch, and wouldn't sell it or trade it for the world.

Congrats on a great choice.

That's a great first watch! May I ask what kind of pen is that in the second picture? I think it looks very nice.
