My Milgauss GV, five years on
  Although this is not my only watch. I must say this the most interesting watch that I have. I usually tend to buy watches that has a black dial and very conservative look. And I was originally going to buy the datejust II with a domed bezel, black dial and stick markers. It was my better half that suggested that I get this one instead. My initial thoughts was that it was very "un-Rolex" like. And it wasn't something that I can wear everyday. But then, after a while...it grew on me. It turned out to be very versatile and fun. A little cheeky if I must say so myself. The orange lightning bolt second hand. The orange 3,6,9 hour markers. The green crystal that seem to look different in different lighting situations. I have worn this watch from occasions where I was in a shirt and tie to when I was wearing shorts and t-shirts. It really is something that you don't see everyday and I like that. While I know that this watch is something of a love/hate thing for some and it is widely unpopular to others, it has taken a place in my heart and a watch which I will pass on to my son one day. To the lovers of this beauty out there, here is to enjoying our Milgauss GV for many many many years to come... |

The Milgauss is the watch that brought me to Rolex. I had a preconception that Rolex watches were tacky and boring, but the MG GV changed all that ! Now I find myself looking at subs, which would not have happened pre MG.

Thanks for the love folks...
@Adam, the sunlight was hitting the watch at all the right angles. Thus making it look more beautiful |

Absolutely lovely.
I've been in love with my Milgauss, as well. It is also what initially drew me to Rolex. (I have the same black dial, orange 3,6,9 markers.) |

The Milgauss GV seems to bring people to Rolex camp. For myself, this model renewed my love for Rolex once again.

I never knew how much I'd love the Milgauss until I got one! Great watch and so versatile. I flipped it and immediately missed it. Maybe someday I'll get another one.
