SS Oyster, I must I've never been a massive fan but seeing it on your daughter it's looks amazing!

She really suits it and wears it well and has made me re think my opinion on this piece.

It's a yes from me!

My white Milgauss and Air King are the perfect one-two punch.

If it had a brushed bezel and center links I would own one now.

Big NO!

You might start to realize that all the hype models aren’t all they are cracked up to be.

Great question....I've not followed the used prices on these to know. Sounds like a good price if it has been serviced. You could probably pick up a significantly newer one for just a bit more.

I bought mine two years ago from my local AD for 30% off of MSRP!!!

Man, I completely agree! If it wasn't for that bezel, I would have bought one years ago. The new blue dial w/green glass makes it even more enticing!

I've been planning a visit to the AD for a while and if possible, I'm going to re-evaluate my perception of that bezel.

The Milgauss is beautiful, funky yet professional reference that is really unique amongst the Rolex catalog. Sure, it's not for everybody but, I think it's a very cool, somewhat, underrated watch.

Something else about the Milgauss which my not be obviously apparent unless/until you see one in the metal is how shiny and reflective it is. It's a glinter. Mine draws more attention to itself than my Blusey.

Milgauss isn’t for me. Based on your criteria, I would get a white dial OP39.

White Milgauss is one of my favorite, and get much wrist time. Few pieces have left my collection, i.e. Sub Date, SD4K, GMTc, Air King, 116520, Hulk, etc, but the white Milgauss always stays.

Any chance the milguass goes up in value since it was discontinued? Any thoughts on the Milgauss? Love to see any pics.

I cant and do not speculate on the value of watches, but I have to be honest, if I was really interested in the watch being anti-magnetic, I would be looking hard at Omega. Omega is really leading Rolex by a good margin on the anti-magnatism. This should be a priority for Rolex as everything is magnetic these days.

I would also look at Omega over the Milgauss as the looks do absolutely nothing at all for me. It also has no date, no bezel, and no chrono. Omega's antimagnetic options are really superior.

Now if you are just speculating and hoping the Milgauss is the next watch that explodes in value, I cant help you as I cant wait until the bubble bursts and the speculators clear the hell out of here and I could care less about what that does to the "value" of my collection, as the "value" of my collection is that of the memories and adventures I had while wearing them and not on $$.

Love the Milgauss. Beautiful and quirky with the orange hands. No doubt would be collectible. Rolex went out of its comfort zone in designing it. I have zblue and the black dial.

Absolutely love it. Not sure about the future value though, since it's never been the most popular model.

I wanted a white, bought a black, traded for a blue. I think its obvious the white one will become more sought after. This one really makes me smile.

You are right, there seems to be fewer white dials for sale compared t the black and blue
