Opinions pls - Milgauss vs Deepsea
Hi,
New to this forum, but need some opinions/thoughts/advice. Am trying to decide between the black face/green crystal milgauss and the new deepsea. Will buy one of these from a friend, both are in perfect condition, etc etc, but was wondering about other watch owners thoughts between the two. To be honest, I feel a little weird buying such a technically innovative watch like the Deepsea, especially as I'm not much of a water person (maybe take a dip in the pool every now and then, but that's about it), but I guess the same could be said about the milgauss (not planning any trips to any powerplants, haha). Aesthetically, I guess I kinda like the green crystal on the milgauss as it seems a little subversive (especially for rolex), but the deepsea feels like a solid solid watch. HELP please! I like both a lot, but can't figure out which one i prefer!

Depends on your use
By: bakerb22 : January 18th, 2009-14:15
As an owner of both, I would say that it would really depend on the use of the watch. The Deapsea is a neat piece, but it does have its drawbacks (like the ability to wear french cuffs with the watch on). However, the Milgauss scratches very easily, so if...
