Rolex Explorer I vs Rolex Milgauss V

[Aristotle]

Any particular reason?

I'm curious as well.

[Aristotle]

On the side note, is there a particular AD where you guys purchase BN Rolex watches? Was browsing through the forums and don't see many purchasing from the Rolex boutique itself.

Any recommended ADs? Do leave me a PM if it's too sensitive to post here.

TIA.

Wats the indicative price range for a pre owned explorer now?

[gohaj]

however, if i am to get, i would get the explorer I 36mm rather than 39mm.

Any particular reason?

i bought the Milgauss GV but sold it within a week of wearing. somehow the green glass did not work for me when looking at watch to tell time.

maybe next time will consider the normal black milgauss.

the white milgauss a bit plasticky imo.

Actually, while browsing forums, net and all, the Milgauss caught my eye. I fell in love at first sight. Unique and simple.

Any reason why there's not much of love for the Milgauss? Besides looking toyish? Not much of history?

i like rolex for their diving watches
next daytona, then gmt2 followed by explorer and yachtmaster
milgauss was never on my fav list

Thank you guys for actively giving your penny's worth. Really helped me make decisions especially when we're talking about parting with thousands of dollars.

Looks like the votes are straying towards the Explorer I. On the side note, anyone knows the price of a BN 39mm Exp I? I only enquired on the Milgauss V.

Personally, i would get the Exp I b'cos of history & design. It's the watch that went up to Mt. Everest? Milgauss V looks abit toyish with the fanciful colours/thunder 2nd hand, etc. but internally it's got some sort of anti-magnetic properties?

agree with the above
rolex ex I/II, DSSD, submariner have history.

whereas milgaus (i like the GV cos it is special) and even daytona (i like the white dial) though are nice, do not have that kinda rich history

depends on what u want really.

If have to choose between e 2, definately and Explorer 1... U can go check out all the wrist shot in this forum...nice sleek and simple watch...without the polished ctr links as compare to the milgauss...good for everyday use...classic...

don really understand the milgauss...

but if u wan something simple and shouts "Hey I am a Rolex" get the new ceramic bezel no date sub 114060...the glidelock bracelet is a cool thing to have...

Cheers

Anyway, I believe most of you are making a comparison on designs.

How about the technical aspects of the 2 watches against the price?

[Aristotle]

any reason by these 2? just curious.

Hi Ms Lucifer, I'm a fan of simplicity and minimalism hence I narrowed down to these 2. I'm not really into watches with those numeric bezels. It just doesn't appeal to me.

Cant quite get used to milgauss
Explorer 1 for me, 39mm
