Dillema: Trade for Milgauss GV or Daytona SS

So I currently own the new EXP II black face, 216520 and a SD, 16600. I am going to trade my SD + cash for either the Milgauss GV or Daytona SS white face.

I really am struggling with which one to get. I really like both watches. To own two watches, Exp II and Milgauss or Exp II and Daytona SS? Any preferences?

Below pic of current watches...

With two watches I'd say it's better to have different colored dials, so given that choice I'd get the Daytona, or else consider a white dialed Milgauss if that strikes your fancy.

I hear ya on two different dials but I dont really like the white dial Milgauss that much...tough call. Majority in this thread may sway my decision...

Cost is also a consideration so that goes to milgauss...

Sorry to hear that you have to let the SD go. It's definitely my favorite in the collection. But, if you go thru with the trade, definitely go with the Daytona.

Good luck!

Wow, you have the nicest diver and the current line nicest GMT; already. The milgauss will give you the same wrist feel as the SD. I assume most will choose the Daytona as it stands up well in pictures, but the in real life the Milly is a just a really nice watch.

Milgauss

I would go for the Milgauss GV. The green crystal makes it really stand out, IMHO.

Never trade away a SD for anything, just my 2 cents. And of the two you want, the GV for sure.

GV.

You may find the Daytona a bit small if you like the Exp 42. GV is also bigger than the Daytona.

Strange how a lot of TRFers are cross shopping Daytonas and GVs.

Same answer every time.
