I don't care if it's unpopular or just polarizing, I absolutley love my discontinued black dial Milgauss. I'm not bothered one bit that many people don't like it.
I've enjoyed this thread mainly for the pics. |

Ahh , detect sarcasm. Im just saying that the fact that it has been there so long is a good bargaining tool. Many people have probably tried it on over the years. some of the stickers might also be missing. Im sure they would love to sell it. Take advantage of that !!

The orange and green is what got me.
Actually like the second hand. Unique in the Rolex line up. Does seem to wear more top heavy than the DSSD IMO. Less bulky though. Also sets off airport metal detector. Hence I don't travel with it. I don't buy the $ argument. If that's the case, why would anyone buy a PM piece? It's all about want and adds variety to the collection. A fun piece for me. |

Good points. I'm sure the AD would like to see any watch sitting for ages leave the case...but I've also talked with some stubborn dealers who have the patience of Job. |

With the exception of my polar, all my swatches have black dials. Considering a white Milgauss.

Can't remember having to take off my watch in Europe last time I was there a few years back. Will find out in a few months. Maybe things have changed? |

Didn't Omega just do a Milgauss clone? Can't be too unpopular.

Why is the Milgauss so unpopular?
I think it's classy as all get out.

Was watching megamind with my son today and noticed the watch he uses to clone another person image reminded me of the Milgauss. Albeit one with complications, but the hands.

I must say, the old 1019 is an eye-catcher (borrowed pic from Christie's). I have yet to see one in the wild - modern or vintage.

I really wanted one in 2008 and thought the concept really matched my work in the IT field, but when I went to my AD and tried it on I did a 180. It just didn't look good on me. I walked out with a GMT2C instead.
