...or so I tell myself. Picked up a Rolex Milgauss a few days back from ASW1 and I’m now convinced my watch buying days are over. On a sunny spring day is there a better looking watch?

Congratulations. Why stop though
The Tudor Pelagos (blue dial) looks great
Congrats great watch.
My watch buying days are also over with my last purchase, the one before that and the one before that one too . . . .
Only a fool keeps buying and selling for the sake of it. I last bought a watch a couple of years ago and have no intention of ever doing so again.
^^^^^^
Nice, happy perspective about watches - on a watch enthusiasts forum.
Well done Mick!
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
You love a dig don't you.
My point is simple, an enthusiast will buy a watch because he likes it. If he wants another , he buys it and then he has two. If he likes another, he buys it and then he has three and so on. So he eventually ends up with a nice little hoard.
Those who buy and sell usually lose in the process and end up with not a lot.
I have seven watches that I like, why on earth would I ever sell one.
Hi
I am bloody happy old chap. I have a nice little collection of watches and I could easily sell the lot and make a profit on everyone. Also I have the right amount that suits me.
All I have done is point out that buying and selling is usually a loss making experience.
The way this catches the light is sooo good.
Congratulations
I've really fallen for that particular model over the years.
I can enjoy a simple black dial for eons so that would certainly keep my eyes entertained

Never say never!!! Ive gone back up to 4 after consolidating to 3!
Give it a few months :)
Congrats!!!!
"Watch buying days are over..."
As spoken by a true addict!
Watch buying days are over....”for now”!
Love the watch though, had the black dial GV years ago now but the blue dial is just a little extra special for me. The green edged crystal glints really nice when the sun hits it, case has a satisfying heft to it and the bracelet super comfy. Did think for a while whether it was worth the extra over the black dial OP 39mm I have but now the Milgauss is on my wrist glad I made the jump up. Happy days
I've always liked that version, the blue dial, green tint crystal and the orange second hand all work well together.
Enjoy it for now, until the next watch catches your eye. If you don't buy another watch later on you will forever me known as Mick P II and you don't want that
I've always loved the blue Milgauss from the time I developed a real interest in mechanical watches. I agree blue dial, green tinge and orange second hand is a striking combo. Size is great too. I will have one at some time.
Enjoy.

It sure looks nice under that sun.
Congrats on the purchase.
Well done, very nice watch and looks great on your wrist.
I tried on the black dial GV at an AD in Ho Chi Minh District 1 yesterday. I was surprised to actually see it in there. I've always liked the look of them but it felt quite small on the wrist.
It was £6400 with 7.8% vat return (if you were heading back to the UK). Not sure what UK RRP is?
That watch is an absolute knockout. One of my favourite Rolex models, partly because it’s such a departure from their usual colour palette. I expect most non-enthusiasts would be surprised to discover that it’s a Rolex.
It’s a gorgeous thing, and in my view it’s a real triumph in design to use such a vibrant combination of colours, along with the ‘lightning bolt’ hand, and still end up with watch that looks beautiful and prestigious as well as fun. I can’t think of another watch like it. I hope it makes you smile every time you look at it.
You have taste, sir. A fine 'exit' watch, although, of course, it won't be. ;-)

Lovely watch Mike, does this mean the OP will/has moved on?

Lovely watch.
You are getting very colourful Mike! I hope you still get time to enjoy the YM?? That Milguass is rather special, we’ll done!
