OP gets my vote.

Nikrnic · 29 November 2018, 09:42 AM

I'm a big Milgauss fan, on my second one, a Zblue which is a keeper for me. To be fair l really like the OP and feel it would dress up better with its beautiful dial and bezel and would work in any collection. Looking at them one on one I'd rather have the Milgauss.

Milgauss. PCLs, polished lugs, stunning classic dial. 😆

I have no white dial in my collection and that’s what is pushing me to consider this.
There some facts to consider , pcl’s vs no pcl’s , case size, demand/price retention, etc.... but more importantly the looks

Shoot !

I'm a fan of the new OP. The shape of the case is just so svelte, the finish on the bracelet is just so perfect...

harvey · 29 November 2018, 11:32 AM

Jorge, out of the two I would choose the OP.

However, when I was looking for a white dial reference I opted for the Explorer II polar. 42mm. Could that be an option for you?

subprimero · 29 November 2018, 11:43 AM

The Milgauss has more character and the OP is more versatile. Your collection has a lot of personality so for you I think the Milgauss is best.

Chloe&Harley · 29 November 2018, 11:55 AM

I have a white milgauss, but like the OP

JorgeCCW · 29 November 2018, 12:20 PM

I just read the new replies , and I can easily see why I am so confused

Both pieces have good things going for it. To name a few, here are the things that I see going for the Milgauss : I think Price retention in medium to long term Milgauss will do better , character/personality Milgauss wins , easy link and presence. For the OP 39 : versatility, dressier with no PCL’s , less expensive, brings the element of simplicity to the collection , my fiancé has the 36mm OP matching sibling.

Another factor that unfortunately takes place is availability, specially when you like both, then availability can be the tiebreaker

People also mention , what about Polar or DJ . One of the things I want is no date, this watch has to be dateless. I need that simplicity for this watch , my other watches have all these extra quirks. I had a polar before and a 2-3 DJs , nothing wrong with them I just feel that I am not there anymore.

Agree 100% The only drawback for me is the lack of the date 'complication'. Watches like Air Kings, Turn o graphs, Milgauss' are for folks that want something 'a little different'. The OP is prolly a decent piece, but a little plain for me. However, it might be right for you. Good luck, it's all about what makes you happy nothing else.

Great pic... and I agree. Can't beat the understated elegance of the white dial OP. Pure definition of Classic.

Love your DJ, but they are 2 different animals imo. DJs are more noticeable, especially to the general public. But OPs are the ones that go unnoticed until you really take a hard look at them. It's like sushi and sashimi. Everyone prefers sushi until they try the truest form of fresh fish in sashimi.

SearChart · 16 December 2018, 06:10 PM

Milgauss is too shiny for me.

Excellent choice. The fluted bezel, jubilee and date bouble I makes it one of the most iconic Rolex models.

I think that’s the reason I finally went for it. I needed something like that in my collection, dressy and iconic. I still like the OP, but not sure if would of lasted too long.

White Milgauss!!!

ostatedchi · 17 December 2018, 11:57 PM

I'd say Milgauss white if it didn't have the lightning bolt hand. I know why it is there. Just don't like it.

My next purchase is a white face OP 39 or a bluesy.

Great choice! I myself am trying to decide between OP and milgauss both in white. That Datejust is beautifulllll but is a little too flashy for my style. I’ll probably end up with the milgauss

Polar explorer 2 42mm is also amazing!
