As I am sure this discussion has already been had in this forum, though I was not able to find one. I have been admiring the Milgauss (pictured below, my actual wrist... can't figure out how to rotate the photo??? [ask a moderator]). I have become more enamored of the Oyster perpetual 39mm (photo taken from monochrome.com).  If you own either, I am curious what drew you to that decision?  I like the simplicity of both. The pop of color in the blue dial Milgauss is what really catches my attention. But overall, to my very naieve and uneducated eye, the looks of the two are very similar.

I am not sure if it is up to 1000 gauss, but is has antimagnetic properties for sure.

and very similar (assuming you don’t work in industrial environments with high magnetism). I chose this one because I like its sheer simplicity.

Couldn’t agree more. For day to day use the a magnetic is something that used to be very important in the past but nowadays? Perhaps in very special work places but that’s it I would argue Having said that, have you considered the Air King? Pure robust indestructible quality yet just that tad different from the Explorer (which is a beauty as well)

We are surrounded by magnetic fields, even more than 40 years ago! Best, Nicolas PS: I agree on your suggestion about the new Air King!

It makes you wonder what impact it has on our general health.

I’ve occasionally had magnetism problems with other watches but never with a Rolex. Has anyone on this thread ever had to demagnetize a modern Rolex?
