Question Rolex Milgauss or IWC Pilot Chrono (please help)
I've decided between these 2 options for my daily watch. Which one would you choose?

The Rolex will cost me an extra $1800. Is it worth it the extra?

Here's some pics for reference:

This is such a difficult decision because the Milgauss is one of Rolexs' most respectable watches. You really can't go wrong with either.

Agree with S2Kev...you can't go wrong with either watch...both are stunning watches...the IWC slightly larger at 42mm...but both look great dressed up with a suit or with a pair of jeans and a tshirt...

Looks alone, I prefer the IWC...

If you haven't seen either in person I recommend you do... A few months ago I had my mind set on the same IWC you are looking at (looks amazing in photos), but after seeing it in person, I felt it lacked something. So I went for the GMT II-C and couldn't be any happier.

I've never been a big Rolex fan; however, I do really like the Yachmaster and the Milgauss (specifically the one w/the green crystal). They stand out from not only other Rolex watches, but other watches in general IMO. It's ultimately your call, but I'd do the Milgauss. I prefer the looks of it and for a daily watch you won't have to worry about the longevity of the metal bracelet.

I agree with most of you guys, this IWC on pics looks amazing but saw one today in person and it lacks some balls. It's nothing like the pics. On the other hand I now found another piece: IWC Ingenieur Chronograph



Now I'm in torn on this IWC. Looks amazing IMO. What do you guys think?
Also for a daily watch, the bracelet might come in handy.

Found some other pics:






Retail Value: $7100 but I can get at a very good price.
I think that might the one for my daily use.

Looking at these pics it's hard to pick the Rolex over the IWC.
