As i mentioned earlier i've recently purchased my first Rolex - Milgauss black. Liked GV too, but somehow ended up with plain black model.

After reading this forum non-stop for last few weeks i've realised Milgasus is not very popular choice here, especially with Rolex/Omega/Tudor/Breguet loaded guys

is Milgauss somewhat bad choice? What bad you can tell about it - please be honest. It will help me to make my 2nd Rolex purchase.

No Rolex is bad! Well, except for the fake ones...

The Milgauss is a stunning watch, it's just not as known as other models.

forza1976 · 3 September 2009, 01:18 PM

The question is, do you like it? If the answer is yes, then who cares what everyone else thinks.

And BTW, it's an awesome watch!

sleddog · 3 September 2009, 01:19 PM

Nothing wrong with the Milgauss...!
Its a fine,Elegant piece with a long history....!
Many members here have one in their collection and luv em!!

Milgauss not bad, Milgauss good.

isolator · 3 September 2009, 01:40 PM

On the contrary, I think the Milgauss is stunning.
Clean, classic lines, great wrist presence, larger case size and crown.
To me, the Millie is already a classic.
Don't worry.....as long as you like it
It's your wrist and your $$$$

Thank you, everyone!!!

Tools · 3 September 2009, 01:49 PM

You are really jumping to the absolute wrong conclusion........

There are only a few thousand Milgauss that have been released to the market since it's re-introduction a couple of years ago..... You are one of the very few owners of this unique watch.......

How you could think that it was somehow a "bad choice" or bad watch because everybody doesn't have one escapes me...........

rsg · 3 September 2009, 01:58 PM

Who cares what others think as long as you like it? I love my Milgauss it's one of my favorites!

Well, "Bad Rolex" can be a good thing...

Like, "That's one bad Rolex, Dude "........

I agree with al the posts here, it does not matter what others think if you like it. Thats why they (Rolex) make more than one style... What one loves another hates... Congrats on your new Milgauss and your 1st Rolex, Welcome to the club!!! You will not regret it!

greekbum · 3 September 2009, 02:22 PM

Its not a bad choice unless you are not happy with it? Be a leader not a follower. Don't listen to anybody wear what you like and what makes you feel good wearing.
The crowds not always right

The most expensive Vintage watches today sat on shelves 20-30-40 years ago.So the crowd is not always right

onkyo · 3 September 2009, 02:51 PM

If you like then it is good.

Who cares what anyone else thinks as long as you enjoy it.

Singslinger · 3 September 2009, 03:05 PM

I actually think the plain black Milgauss has a nicer dial than the more popular GV! So don't worry, you've made a great purchase - enjoy!

Sgrig · 3 September 2009, 03:48 PM

Thank you all again for your support of my choice. I do agree - if i like it i should not care too much about others opinion. And i do like my Milgauss.

Art 1 · 3 September 2009, 03:49 PM

I like mine, doesn't get much wrist time but I like it. Nice, heavy and easy to read. Very accurate.

Original Milgauss was not very popular either and Rolex ended up giving them away to retiring employees as gifts. However, these watches now goes for USD20,000-30,000 in recent auctions. So is that bad?

DanP · 3 September 2009, 05:38 PM

Milgauss= my grail

Congrats on yours!

The most Stealth under the radar Rolex around imo. more so than the expy I would say. Mine will be on untill whoever prys it from my cold dead hands

Andad · 3 September 2009, 05:51 PM

I agree Dan, my GV is

Starwalker · 3 September 2009, 05:54 PM

I love the GV and the black dial! the white dial doesnt float my boat....but thats just me....its probably a reflection on my personality hahhaha.....if it makes you happy than thats all the you should be worried about!

i keep encouraging my friends to get Milgauss, because they're doing there Masters and PhDs in physics...lol, they told me if i were to experince a Milgauss of radio waves or blah blah (physics talk that did not sound like english) i would be dead, but the Rolex would still the correct time! LOL - beautiful watch!

Brushpup · 3 September 2009, 09:04 PM

It's not bad. Just an unique and unusual watch. Not for everyone and that makes it cool.

unclesallie · 3 September 2009, 09:50 PM

Mongo Love Sheriff Bart and Milgauss.......

esm · 3 September 2009, 10:22 PM

great choice on the Millie!!!!

loving my GV too.

mborkow · 3 September 2009, 10:40 PM

From a marketing POV, I would have to say the Milgauss has been a dissapointment for Rolex. They were hoping to hit a home run like they did with the GMT IIc, but I think it was more like a single...
