Looks stunning and very different from the sports line.........maybe that should be obvious.
On that note, is the Milgauss considered far better suited as a dress watch compared with casual (jeans etc)? The reason I ask is that its thickness does not bode well for fiting under shirt cuffs and most photo shots I see of is owners in casual dress?

You don't live anywhere, but now you're on vacation?
Hmmm. Well, it's a gorgeous watch and it fits you're wrist to a tee. Congratulations! |

Yes, when I am done with my vacation in December I will then find a place to live at that time. I guess you can say I am homeless, but I have income and go to tourist spots. Hmmm what am I then?

Awww, thanks Bill. I just have the time to travel at present, and I am sure anyone would jump at a similar chance to do so. In fact I am going to Powder Springs, Georgia tomorrow for one night to seen an old friend again.
In addition to Oshawa I saw NY, DE, VA, DC, MD, WV, VA, PA. Fun!

Robert,
Just picked up the same watch a few days go. Love it! That is why I joined the forum to learn more about this stuff. I have two other Rolex's. An older Midsize and a Datejust. selling the Datejust to quantify the Mil. Cheers, Rikki |

hi Robert i just got mine and wow wow im a happy man! its staying permanently on my wrist for the next few weeks atleast.
i just wanted to ask whats people opinions of the watch - i.e. is it one that will hold its value? typically for 2-10 years what are the expectations with this one in terms of it holding its price? i didnt buy it for an investment, i bought it as i always wanted a rolex, saw this one and thought thats it!! but it would be nice to know it wil hold its value should i need to sell |

That is a great story! I am glad to hear how much you like the GV. I think it will increase over time. Torneau offered me $9k on a trade, think about that!

This is the Rolex I hope to get one day. Stunning photos. Particularly like the un-boxing ones as that is very much a part of the experience when you are unwrapping something new. Many thanks for sharing. Wear it with a big smile on your face, I know I would.
