So awhile back I called George and told him I was thinking of selling my 112 to get something different. Someone traded in this V series Milgauss and I didn't want to pass it up. I've had it about 10 hours and I absolutely love it. The easy link bracelet was very nice today, especially since it was about 95 degrees here. I really like the added weight of the case on this watch. Here are some pics.

I didn't have a choice since this was preowned. The green crystal is nice, but I personally wouldn't pay the premium for it.

Nice one Jnelson, this is my fav Rolex along with GMTIIc.

Please post how you feel about this watch after a few days/weeks of ownership and let us know if you miss the Pam.

I read a few stories of some guys letting go of their pam...didn't take long before they bought one back!

It does look a bit out of place since the rest of the watch is classic Rolex but that might be why I like it. :?

Could be! Interesting point as to why you may like it. I wonder if that same reason is why I like the B&R models now. Round dials yet square cases.hmmmmm

Man, that's so bright I gotta wear shades. For a pre-owned, it musta had alot of TLC. Didn't notice the lightning bolt second hand at first. Its kinda cool.

Very nice! I always liked the Milgauss - and this one is in fantastic shape! Honestly, tt's hard to believe it's second hand.

The second hand and the green crystal option always make this stick out in my mind as a unique Rolex.

I never really gave the Milgauss much thought other than the coolness factor of EMI resistance. BUT, after seeing your wrist shots, it really spiked my interest. It appears to wear larger than I expected. The bracelet really 'pops' on that watch.

Beautiful watch and best of luck with it!
