Milgauss is my vote
This is easily my most comfortable and flexible watch for any occasion. I don't own an Explorer and it is also a fine choice to be sure but I do believe the GV is very special and a bit more unique. By the way if you are quite set on a new Daytona, they are generally rare only from official dealers - the secondary market has plenty available in new condition. Good luck in your search.
First rolex- mil gauss gv or explorer ii
Hi everyone I am thinking of getting my first rolex and would be grateful for any suggestions. I originally wanted to fey a daytona but understand the wait could be for years. I currently have a jaeger memovox and a chopard Mille miglia. Thanks Newbie

Do you mean the new Explorer 2..?
In this case I would say the new Explorer 2 but when it's out it's going to be difficult to get so get your name down at your local AD now. Otherwise you may find your only choice is the Milgaus Yours, Andy.
for emotional appeal, get both..
for practicality, depends.. The Milgauss green monster is nice to look at and very colorful and a simple time telling machine and protects the watch from being magnetic but itself is magnetic enough when you go bar hopping waiting for some attractive ladi...
Were you thinking of the new explorer 2 or the old one?
If it were the new one then I think you've better chance getting the daytona unless you are talking about the new ceramic bezel daytona, in that case you really need luck on your side. If is the old explorer 2, white or black dial? If you are looking at b...
Tyler, just wondering why you suggested the white dial instead of..
..black for the Exp II? No, it wont break his budget cos he wanted to get the Dayto, so Dayto if foregone for now, he can buy both GV and Exp II at one go.
Simple. The Milgauss GV is black dial so a white dial E2 woild compliment it perfectly.
Good call on the budget side. I didn't think of it that way. Rgs Tyler
you are bad, convincing him to buy two at one go ;) i never thought..
..of black and white complementing each other... to me a white dial Exp II if taken to Artic or Antartica, may not work cos it will blend in too well with all the snow and bright sunlight and would be difficult to read the time as opposed to a black dial....
a used Rolex gmt master pepsi? [nt]
stainless steel daytona later. This message has been edited by D10 on 2011-07-25 20:26:00
Neither watch will disappoint you
I would nevertheless start with the Milgauss. Best regards, George
ahh...if vintage, then Exp 2 Orange Hand wins always
but if modern, the GV is a clear winner. Something "not quite real" about the new Exp 2 imo.
Thank you
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I went to the local Ad today and tried on all the sport watches. I have small wrists. Liked the fit of the explorer ii most but thought the migauss gv dial and the submariner dial was a more interesting and appeali...
No wait on Daytona
If you want one... don't believe the hype! I think it is a far more substantial and ultimately desirable watch than the others... they are out there for immediate delivery (in this economy.) Get the watch you really want, not the watch you can get 'conven...
Thank you all.
Tried the sub on as well. Torn between all but casting my vote for milgauss or sub now.
