A few photos of the newbie,

Bit of a comparison with the 116710,

Rockrolex · 17 December 2007, 11:48 AM

Very nice, Mike. Great pics and beautiful watches.

Robb · 17 December 2007, 11:55 AM

Congrats Mike!!! Wow it looks bigger than I thought it would!

dannytam · 17 December 2007, 12:00 PM

That's a real beauty. Congratulations Mike.

Tallboy · 17 December 2007, 12:37 PM

I love that Milgauss! I hope to have one someday.

Letsgodiving · 17 December 2007, 01:25 PM

Congrats. That case looks huge. I thought you were going to get the green crystal or is that next on the list?

JJ Irani · 17 December 2007, 04:13 PM

Congrats, Mike.....a real beauty; but why didn't you get the one with the green crystal?

Wear this one in good health, pal!

gtbike72 · 17 December 2007, 04:17 PM

that's a cool rolex ,i like more and more everday

p2511 · 17 December 2007, 04:56 PM

Congrats Mike. Very nice pic.

SPACE-DWELLER · 17 December 2007, 09:37 PM

Congrats!

Dunno what happened, but suddenly I got a craving! I just might get one of those in 2008. If I can raise the funds, that is!

Welshwatchman · 17 December 2007, 09:40 PM

We are in luck.

Just think of the pictures to come from Mike.

SPACE-DWELLER · 17 December 2007, 09:45 PM

Mike, did you notice that there are no threads visible on the crown tube of the Milgauss?

I noticed that when I tried on the GV recently and unscrewed the crown.

I also noted that the crown was extremely easy to screw on again (no danger of cross-threading).

Anthony · 18 December 2007, 12:42 AM

Congrats and thanks for the great pics!

frostie · 18 December 2007, 04:20 AM

Great pics mike. I enjoyed the lume shot. Congrats on the watch

siambee · 18 December 2007, 06:16 AM

very nice. congrat

Lol-x · 18 December 2007, 07:18 AM

Wow, I just noticed that the diameter of the twin lock crown is about the same as the triple lock crown on the GMT.

I hadn't noticed this before.

colemanitis · 18 December 2007, 08:41 AM

Congrats, Mike. I didn't realize you were getting a Milgauss. It looks absolutely beautiful!!!!!

Welshwatchman · 18 December 2007, 08:48 AM

I wonder if opinions are changing about the new Milgauss now that stunning pictures are forthcoming.

I liked it from the first time I saw it. I'm just waiting for the call.

TheDude · 18 December 2007, 09:00 AM

Congrats - beautiful watch.

So forgive me... I haven't been paying close attention. I presume only the model with the green crystal has the orange 3, 6, 9 markers?

mailman · 19 December 2007, 07:23 AM

Congrats Mike.

I think it's beautiful

kingblackbolt · 19 December 2007, 09:47 AM

Mike you could make a $10 Timex look like a President Day Date with those skills of yours!

GR8YT · 19 December 2007, 03:24 PM

Great watch! Great pics! Great choice! I think that one is more beautiful than the green crystal because of the different dial :)

problmchylde · 19 December 2007, 06:17 PM

Beautiful watch MIKE.Black's my favourite.1 question......Is the dial a matte or a gloss finishing??
