Vintage Milgauss...

Recommended Posts

arty909

Am I the only one who appreciates this watch? Granted, I don't own the rep (yet), but there is very little discussion or photos from owners on any of my favorite forums. A gen sold at auction back in April for 54,000 USD. Here's a shot of someone's else's gen- very tasty if I may say:

It's a small watch by today's standards at 38mm, but I still get tons of compliments on my 38mm Pre-Daytona:

Anybody have any thoughts? Cheers, Arty

Simple, clean lines, similar to an Explorer I. I guess the Milgauss has always had a different second hand. A bit plain, though.

 

It is hard to wear a 38mm watch now.

At the rate the're incresing in value dad's MG is gunna stay in the back vault for ever. I am never going to afford the insurence to have the damn thing at home :lol:

 

Sertiously, even with a solid and well hiden safe haveing it at home puts the insurence bill up by 800 a year, Almost four times what he paid for it new! Stupidly enough it would be the same if I had half a dozen of the same value. Go figger.

 

I like the pre daytona. As AD said, clean. Allmost IWC like.

Love the Milgauss - also love the pre-Daytona. Actually prefer it to the later models, to tell the truth.

:lol:

 

Small wonder, I was going to post; Looks like Graman's Dad's Seamaster.

 

An older gentlemen's watch though I think, like a Railmaster or Air King. Or Dave's RWG Tribute :beer:

I thought that WAS the old lolcina that we had on RWG1. We started off here with the version from rwg.cc (which still had the hammer), but I replaced it when I found this one... If my memory is failing me (always possible given my advancing years :Yawn:), then if you can find the correct one, I'll install it. Deal?

Well, I do too. We are what we are. Still a long way off from the Railmaster though. For me. :beer:

I also like both, but the pre-daytona is my favorite, I have already thought about it but I was not decided,

Now for sure it will be my next acquisition thanks to you pic arty,
