Bill, you nailed it!
Thank you for your nice comment!
You actually nailed the reason I why I had hesitated to buy a 1019 up until recently: you cannot "do" anything with it! No chrono, no turning bezel - just a "boring" three hand watch without a date! And what a price they command!

That is a great example and the year is looking good.
I think it fits right in with your theme even though your current collection pictured above all have turning bezels. But the Milgauss is still a sports model. Best Bill
