edgematic Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hi guys, Normally I'm not a rollie guy, but at the moment I'm very interested in the Milgauss and the GMT II Ceramic. Now, as I'm looking for 21j versions, I don't know which one to choose from those. What are your opinions? Milgauss or GMT II and why?

spooky driver Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I love the look of the GMT II it is one fantastic looking rep but with the movement issues at the moment it just makes me nervous. i dont know much about the Milgauss only the Green Sapphire looks amazing. spooky votes for the Milgauss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I think most people here would go for the GMT IIc. It is a fantastic looking design...but again the movement issues are tricky. I'm thinking of getting one with the el cheapo movement as I can get replacement movements fairly inexpensively (I think...not entirely confirmed it will fit). I think the Milgauss is a more interesting watch though. The design is like a classic oyster case, but larger so it has some substance. The green sapphire is great. I have yet to see a rep, but I saw the gen and it is quite something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgematic Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 get an IHS eta IIc. brilliant watch, good movement. Thanks, maybe that is indeed a good solution instead of the 21j. I contacted Reg (narikaa) while he is on his trip, but I asked for the 21j, would he be able to find the IHS eta? regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaron Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I also think the Milgauss is a very interesting rolex, looks different from the common Sub, SD, GMT's, etc. Some people complained about the lack of date and incorrect font on the dial. Seems like minor issues. the gen looks and feels very nice (unfortunately, I don't own one, just tried at AD). About the GMT IIc , nothing to add, tons of words were writtrn in RWG and other boards. If you can afford it, get them both.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 The GMT IIc is probably more versatile for daily wear...as the green crystal and the lightening hand make it less appropriate for that extra level of formality. Both great. As Youpmelone saide, the IHS ETA should be able to be sourced by any of the dealers...and that seems to be much more stable a movement than the Asian. The Zigmeister and others have shown though, that if requiring servicing...it can be a pain in the butt as the construction of the GMT mod is pretty shoddy.

edgematic Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 "That will not be a doorstop in three weeks." What do you mean with this? Some things aren't that easy to understand as English is not my native language... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSlickAK Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Milgauss (Black or White) would be my vote. Not the Anniversary GV (the Rep looks nothing like mine). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He means the popularity of the GMT IIc is high now, but does not think it will last as long as the Milgauss...leading you to not wear the GMT IIc after a short time, and having it sit in your drawer doing nothing...or "turned into a doorstop" to give it something to do. Another expression might be a "paper weight"...serving no purpose than sitting on your desk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidestro Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I read it as the GMT movement will break and be a door stop, paper weight, boat anchor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have a bit of time to choose, I think it's possible I'll get the MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOOH!! I think I missed that one...either way...it refers to the watch being an unworn hunk of metal. Misunderstanding with forum posts and emails? NAAAAAAAHHH!!
