I agree completely! As I've said before, I'm going to reserve my personal opinion for when I SEE one, but this watch is definitely going places. I probably will not choose to get one, but there will be lots of demand from what will undoubtedly be very loyal fans. The functionality will probably be overridden by the distinctive, forward-looking style.

Beef: Not denying at all that you will get that deal, but that is a fantastic deal if you really get it. Why? Because the Milgauss is going anywhere from $2K to $4K over MSRP.
Here's hoping you're AD is good to his/her word!
best, dan

Asking $ 14,500 + shipping.
that price is absurd and i consider it obnoxious and greedy gouging. i don't think they'll ever get that type of money (and hope they don't). the milgauss will probably do the same thing with pricing as the gmt-iic are doing. limited availability will translate to premium prices. the pricing will slowly return to normal as more watches appear on the market.

Dr. Who went into the future, so he could FIND a Milgauss that wasn't already spoken for...

I'll keep you posted. The AD I deal with has sold me many watches and wants to sell me many more. When I called him for my SS GMTII C, he quoted the price (MSRP) and gave me the first one that he recieved. The other 2 local ADs put me on a list. Still haven't heard from one of them.

salaam 3alaik thani,
planning to buy one of them, any idea from where to buy?

Padi edit
As this thread is 4 years old cannot see any point to reopen it, any Rolex AD can order or get any current Rolex watch that anybody wants its that simple.
