Thanks for your wonderful review and pics! One of the many reviews I read about the Milgauss, that helped me decide to buy one! I have to agree, that I like this model the best. I really enjoy your excellent photos as well. I wish mine were as impressive!
You are so right - this watch just feels beautifully solid and comfortable. My bracelet has a great little squeek to it, but a squeek of quality, when I twist my wrist. I like to wear the bracelet a wee bit loose, and of course with the great Easylink it is so easy to loosen it more! I am sure that I will get every bit of enjoyment out of it, as you do yours! Cheers, Carl ps What about that great crown, eh? The whole winding is so smooth, and it tightens really easily, too.

A truly great review of a great timepiece, I agree.
I just picked up my black dial Milgauss and I am happy to read that I am not the only one with a sqeaking wristband. It still sounds a little weird to me, but hey... :) Quote:

Another squeaky band here as well, and here was me thinking it was just mine that did it, going by the shower comment above it seems as if it's quite a common thing...wonder if it's just this model that seems to "suffer" this "affliction"

BTW: I just added a "IWC Ingenieur" to the collection - a very nice watch with a similar concept. |

Thanks for the review..but i thought the Milgauss was made until 1988!!!..can someone please clarify? I have an M series Sub and never imagined to buy another Rolex.....until i saw the GV and was fascinated by it.The plain bezel seems refreshing for a Rolex,and the lightening hand shows heritage and, i felt....a playful way to emphasize the USP.The simplicity of the face is most welcome during these fashionable times of complication.

Had the white one for six months and not a hint of eye fatigue looking at it. In some ways, it is less idiosyncratic (although less characteristic) than other rolexes, so I would expect to be at least as timeless.

I saw that your bracelet has 4 links at 6 and 7 at 12.Isn'it out of balancement?

Thanks for the review. I'm thinking of buying the Milgauss but was not sure about the green glass edition. After seeing your pictures I decided to go for the non-green version. Beautiful watch.

the faraday cage adds all the weight i would imagine...
thinking of getting one now (was previously set on a gmt iic), only concern is the strap clasp that causes the noise many have reported... |

just a quick footnote...my white dial milly is now 8 months old and has settled to a steady loss of 11 seconds A MONTH...yes, average of -0.3 secs a day...the accuracy of this thing just impresses me so much, by far the best high-end watch I own!......ps, great review and as I wear a magnetic bracelet on my other wrist, actually quite useful features!

I really like it, very solid/substantial feel, wish it had the date function.
