when i discovered Mille's, i didn't like them. as time went on and i started learning, i got to love them. even (then) the crappy $30 supper shitters. but then i got the rose 65, i was hooked = LOVE! then the $160 shipped rose/green 11-03. but now, i have another level of LOVE. these i also didn't like when i first saw them, not at all. then one day i stumbled on a black/gold skull and said WOW! then i looked more. of all i picked this as it has color. and let me tell you, for $180 this thing is pretty freak'n nice! at 17mm isn't as much of a chunk, and because of the pillars on the side looks even less so. the dial looks GREAT for the price, lots of detail, same for the back. its an auto but very hard to tell, i thought it was broke as i could see something flopping around back there. turned out to be the rotor, pics later. the dial markers have lume! but the fucking hands don't, WTF, its always something. maybe i'l fix, maybe i won't. anyway, i a very happy with it, it has lots of flex, and i like flex. i bought the grey for this, but the black looks pretty good.
one more to come later, its something of a grail for me
