This thread was started in 2016. Now all SS professional watches are popular, including Milgauss. Try to ask if your local AD has one.

I was looking for a Milgauss recently. Prices of the white dials have gone up considerably and faster than the other colours. The cheapest one in C24 now is about 7.5k US$. Last year I remember they could be had for more than 6k.

the milgauss has always been an unpopular model, it was hot for a short period but now things have readjusted, and if they come out with a new model with a rotating bezel you can expect that to be popular upon release.

For those of you who are mod friendly, here some pictures of the discontinued black and white dial GV’s with the GV sapphire upgrade!









Many options to choose!

The Z Blue is the one with the highest prices and more difficult to get from AD. I think the Z Blue will be a collectable when Milgauss is discontinued. Milgauss is known to disappear for years from Rolex lineup.

Really not sure why they were unpopular to begin with! I love mine; which was also my entry into Rolex

Glad you're happy; I really like the PCLs on my Milgauss!! I prefer to wear it on a strap when I want to avoid scratches; I'd never ruin a bracelet intentionally!!!
show a photo of the final watch after the PCLs were brushed!!!
