I really like the red grape OP, but my heart says white Milgauss!!

Don't purchase a Milgauss just because you assume its going to be "rare". There are no rare modern Rolex watches except for the vintage ones. Buy the one that "sings" to you.

Get the Mayberry RFD. I think it is an outstanding watch and looks better in the absence of the lightning bolt second hand.

Between your two choices, I'd pick the Milgauss.

However, I recommend considering a polar Explorer II over the Milgauss if the white dial and orange accent is what attracted you to the Milgauss.

Agree with you! I'm also attracted to the purple more than the white.

Red Grape Is Stunning!

My vote is for the OP 39mm Red Grape. I just acquired mine this week and absolutely love it. Over the past few days I've received numerous compliments. I also strongly considered the Milgauss but in the end it just looked to juvenile to me with the orange bolt second hand. The Red Grape dial is always changing depending on the light and it give the watch so much character. A white Milgauss will always be a white Milguauss. The OP is a tad thinner and has a slightly small case making it extremely comfortable, understated yet still beautiful.
