Jeff...Super Congrats Amigo!!! Count me in the camp that definitely likes this one!!!    Wonderfully classic!!!...I think that I've seen some side shots of this one (unfortunately never had the pleasure of trying one on) that indicate this one has some very nice thickness to it...all the better to keep out those evil magnetic fields!!! ...but please don't take it anywhere near Mark's MRI machine...1,000 Gauss is like 0.1 Tesla, and I'm pretty sure current MRI machines run in the range of 0.5 to 5.0 Tesla...so his 3.0 Tesla MRI machine is definitely bad magnetic mojo for your beautiful Milgauss!!! Enjoy this special piece Jeff!!! Another very sweet one!!! Last edited on Mon Nov 22nd, 2010 12:12 am by stew77 |

Great watch. Like the 40mm size and the lightning bolt second hand. Hang on to it.

William, Mark, Johnny, Graham, John, Oscar, Tony, Janner, Gregger, Nordstrom, Chris and Mike....thanks for the kind words on the Milgauss. Will, yes, I'll send it to you to test on the 65 megawatt fishing reel of yours  and I promise to send better pictures with natural light. It sort of sits tall on the wrist and is heavy --- maybe because of the extra lead plate it has to fight the magnetic fields.Mark, I had an MRI once leading to an operation on my slipped disc (L4/L5) in 1992 and at that time, even my wife who was outside the MRI room had to take off her watch. All I brought was a tape of the Beatles to listen too while all the fireworks around me in that tube. Graham, I was about to shoot down the green tint version but somehow couldn't deal with the color. Too bad you flipped it. It's really a classic design, amigo. Oscar, yes, this is a solid classic. In a decade when I'm in my '60s and might not be able to deal with my big watches anymore, it will be nice to have this small one available when I visit the grandkids .Chris, thanks for the warning on the Tesla thing. I assure you I'll never get to even 10 miles of that machinery....and if ever I do, I'll be wearing my Sonbol Papyrum  .Mike, you have my word....I'll hang on to this for keeps. Thanks again to all. Pix and review to follow. Promise.

Jazz up a classic with that really amazing second hand. It doesn't look small to me but to me a 46mm is a clock. Nice addition to your amazing collection.

Great catch Jeff! But why would you need an antimagnetic Rollie when you have that awesome Sonbol Papryum??

Thanks Trent, Bill, Ncvol17, Aujang and Murph . I'm glad you liked it despite the very simple 1950s design heritage of the Milgauss. I guess the lightning bolt and the very simplicity of the dial did it for me.
