Explorer 1 or Milgauss GV

[zidaneong]

I was in dilemma some time back too between Milgauss GV and Explorer 1 39mm.

My analysis as follow:-

Explorer 39mm
Pros:
- oyster clasp
- simple classic design
- Matt centre link
- Light in weight
- understated luxury, under the radar
- rich history
- cheaper than Milgauss

Con:
- design is classic, therefore seems common
- hands are short. (I don't really feel it, so ok for me)
- abit too under the radar that ppl don't know you are wearing Rolex (+ point for me)

Milgauss GV
Pro:
- Unique Green Sapphire Crystal
- Centre Polish Link that looks better than Matt.
- Anti magnetic
- rich history
- classic design case

Con:
- the clasp is the only weakness for the watch (gets loose over a period of time due to design)
- centre polish link tend to reflect scratches more obvious compared to Matt)
- slightly heavier than explorer 1 39mm.

The above mentioned are just my 5 cent point of views from my research that serve a supporting pcs of doc for reference.

I prefer milgauss as the face design is abit more sporty.. =)

I vote explorer because:
cheaper
39 mm explorer has tat new movement which is, to some extend, anti-magnetic?
clean looks
Do not like the green glass nor the orange second hand

only edge milgauss has over the explorer is the chunk, and the dial lume.

I had the exact same dilemma as you. Can't decide between explorer 1 vs milgauss. But after trying both! The milgauss ended up winning my heart! It's just a unique and more uncommon timepiece around as compared to the explorer. Less chance to meet someone wearing the same watch as you!
