Very cool Andrew.... don’t we all love Rolex watches. I’ll thrown in my IWC pilot watch (for when I’m almost blind and need large fonds) my GMT Master and Chopard Mille Milia with the Michelin tire tread....
The wife is laughing her head off about us (old) boys and our toys!

in general i do not like rolex watches
but i am very interested in the milgauss, and yours is beautiful
any clue of why is is called milgauss and its specific characteristics ? is it due to the gauss magnetic field units ?

regards

I have been a solid Timex man for 50 years. Did I tell you my watch has a light?? I had a watch from my Grandfather very briefly. Took it to a watch shop for a new band and the Jeweler said it was a very special Swiss timepiece.... My Brother then decided that he should have it. .. And that is a good thing as he never breaks or loses anything.

Never wore one but like to look. This is a fabulous collection. Marlon Brando's Rolex GMT Master that he wore in Apocalypse Now that he gave to his assistant's daughter when she graduated college has surfaced. It will be auctioned for charity, expects to top $17 million for Paul Newman's Daytona
