andreww Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I love a watch with a story, and this Rolex Milgauss has plenty of them! Firstly, this watch was one of two watches kindly donated by TwoTone from his own collection during RWG's first birthday celebration. I won for my essay "What does RWG mean to me" (see below) What does RWG mean to me? That is a very difficult question as RWG is many things to me. Not only is it my Resource Centre for anything pertaining to replica watches, its so much more. Its my Shopping Mall. Many hours are spent perusing the dealers section, dreaming of what my next purchase will be. I truly spend more time in our little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoTone Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Andrew, I'm happy that you like the Watch... Your choice in Straps really makes the piece... Enjoy and wear it well... TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Andreww- Just for a bit of background on the watch (more specifically, the dial)... This was originally a 1019 Mil from EL (with the black dial). I had commissioned the dial that's on the watch currently from CWP- I had specified vertical brushing, but for some reason, they did radial/sunburst instead. The markers are a bit short, but overall it's still a very neat dial. I still have the original matte black dial in one of my parts boxes... If you want it, I can send it your way (when I find it).

crystalcranium Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Beautiful, classy watch on a strap. Understated and timeless. A few years from now when we're all looking at these frying pan watches in our collections like our 70's haircuts saying "What the hell were we thinking", that watch will still sing. good luck. Beautiful!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ubi, that really clears things up. I think I'll stick with the silver dial, it really has a vintage look to it. I think the black dial would make the watch look too new.

I guess this makes the Piece a "Ubigauss" TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
