    its been almost 6 months since my last purchase and I'm starting to get an itchy wrist....

    I'm looking for:
    - a go anywhere type watch (well, maybe swimming in the pool, but nothing more than that)
    - something on the dressy end of sporty (or the sporty end of dressy)
    - max of us$4.5k, but prefer less than that
    - happy with second hand

    I was initially looking at a Rolex Coke GMT, but not prepared to spend that sort of money.

    Other things I've looked at:
    Milgauss
    [​IMG]

    AT Orange
    [​IMG]
    But I've already got the Skyfall blue (38mm), and not sure about getting this in 41.5mm.

    GO hand date

    Looked at the PO and Explorers but they doesn't do much for me.

    I remember the days when I thought lightning bolts were cool. Used to get in trouble for drawing them on my desk at school.:cautious:

    I would agree if you already have the Skyfall another AT won't really do much for you. I do like GO. Those are some nice watches. I would definitely go in that direction given all the ones that have been posted so far in this thread.

    I vote Milgauss. Its one of my dream watches. Green Crystal, black dial, perfection to me.
    I love the reason behind the design, the little touch of "fun" with the seconds lightening bolt hand, styling that can be dressed up with the metal bracelet or leather strap, or dressed down with a fun color nato, leather nato, or rubber (as shown in your example picture).
    BUT...I have never seen them go for $4.5k or under. I think even used they are around $5.5k

    I agree the gray dial looks a little bit like an aqua terra

    So, I've ruled out the Milgauss, but added the grey oyster perpetual @meganfox17 recommended.
