I am trying to determine which TRF member acquired the first.

And that would give us an Idea how many Milgausses are out there. It does not have to be a 2007 model. Milgauss models from the 50s are most welcome.

Similar lists have been created for the 117610 LN, the 16610 LV, and the SS Daytona (116520).

Please reply with purchasing full date, dial color, series and location (in red)

1019 Milgauss purchased originally in 1970 from an AD in Sydney.
The serial number puts it made in 1969. (around 2,200,XXX
I got it in about 2003.

miner · 12 December 2007, 10:24 PM

Nice one Steve
Pics?

If I'm lucky I might get to see the only one that arrives in Perth next year. The waiting list is closed. When I asked about the new Milgauss the answer was "Don't you want a ss Daytona, only a 4 year waiting list on that one!!"

Lol-x · 13 December 2007, 02:31 PM

O.K. here's my pics, I've pulled this one out of retirement to get over my green crystal pangs of frustration.

Now, that's an investment!

I guess the black dialled ones are rarer, too? I remember vaguely trying a silver dial MG on at my AD back in 1989, and I could have gotten it with a discount!
