New Milgauss

My AD has opened a vintage and pre-owned department so I went to see what I could get for my 16600 D series. I liked it but it was getting very little wrist time and I decided to move into something newer,

I had to kick in a couple of $k but got a green crystal Milgauss. Unique. I think I will enjoy this one more than the old SD.

It's a very special watch. I miss mine quite a bit. If I could have kept it and added my CHNR I would have.

I think your AD was celebrating more than you.

But you got a nice piece, enjoy bother.

An excellent choice and one of my favourites.

The 7mm crown, smooth bezel and no cyclops makes it different from most Rolex models.

Enjoy the change up.

Milgauss is the coolest watch of Rolex lineup. I love my Z-blue!
