new at an AD. Hadn't seen one for awhile. The AD mentioned that Rolex contacted them and asked if they would be willing to accept it and put in the case, they could have declined but took it in. Was interesting to me.

I thought it was discontinued two years ago. Did the Rolex mothership find one lying around? Wouldn’t be bad to pick up NOS.

Interesting Art. The white was discontinued as far as I know. Was this in Canada or the US... hard to keep track of where you are these days

Yes, that's what he said. Rolex asked them if they would take it, they did. I had the black one, one of the first shipped not that it matters. Never bonded with it. But the white I always found to be very striking. Wish it had the flip lock.

Over at our friends place, thinking about it.

Yes I'm back!

There is a white, black and blue face Milgauss sitting in the Dublin AD for as long as I can remember...

It would be a very cool piece to own

The white one is actually pretty common recently. I’ve seen them on several occasions within the past 6 months and between various ADs. Rolex must have had extra white dials lying around and decided to move out them during this SS craze.

Ooooh, might go and check it out this weekend!

Ravager135 · 23 April 2019, 11:32 PM

I used to see brand new five digit Explorer IIs in AD windows years after they had been discontinued. Doesn't surprise me.

Let me know I'll meet you. I'm thinking of going to today Michelle is thinking she might want it, or a RG Navitimer she's been thinking about.

The white Milgauss is not only a stunning piece (in my biased and humble opinion, as I have one) and very versatile (looks great on a Rubber-B, again in my biased and humble opinion) but I have an entirely unsubstantiated hunch is actually going to be sought after in 10 or so years' time. If I did not already have one, and saw one in an AD new, I would be all over it!

Just love that second hand!

omx5o · 24 April 2019, 05:26 AM

Worth picking up.

CashGap · 24 April 2019, 06:27 AM

Electrifying!

psholtz · 24 April 2019, 07:36 AM

Worth getting, and flashier than it looks like in Internet pictures

Monty22 · 24 April 2019, 08:19 AM

I love mine as well!

Went to the AD to try it on this weekend:

Interesting watch, potential collectable, but it didn't sing to me. Easy pass.

It was there because we passed too

Nice watch though.

Don’t like the look. Sorry.
