Took the plunge

[Guest ThePhilosopher]

I ordered my first Rolex rep, an asian movement Milgauss. It should arrive sometime next week and I'll provide some photos of it after arrival.

Congratulations.

It is known; philosophers are oft exposed to magnetic field. This does make sense.

Congratulations. All you need now is a 2nd job to pay for your new addiction.

Congrats man looking forward to the pic's

[Guest ThePhilosopher]

Just the lone picture for now from my manual focus lens on my E-500 - I'll clean it up and get some proper photos after my D200 arrives.

Hope you enjoy the Milgauss. I found the polished steel on mine attracted smudges like nothing I've seen, so I sold it.

[Guest ThePhilosopher]

Thanks, can anyone tell me the noticeable external differences from the Gen?

[freddy333]

I am not a modern Milgauss fan, but it looks good. I think the dial crown & crystal coloring are the rep's most obvious give-aways. Gen for reference

[Guest ThePhilosopher]

I think see the crown, but not so much the crystal coloring - mine does have a nice green hue to it (probably not super obvious in my pic). I'm also no expert on comparisons by any stretch of the imagination.

A proper shot with my D200 and Tamron 90mm Macro:
