Incoming Z Blue.
A little back story for ya.
A very good friend of mine has been an avid collector of high end time pieces for 20 years. He bought a white dial Milgauss back in 2008 when they were re introduced. He showed me a GV black dial and I fell in love and said if there is any watch I'll ever own it's that one. I am a chef and have my own BBQ sauce company on the side and I don't wear any rings or watches etc in the kitchen, nor does my staff. So for me to want a watch is not normal. I haven't owned a watch since I was 16. I don't wear one EVER. I never stayed on top of the watch game but the Milgauss GV was always in the back of my mind. Fast forward to about 4 weeks ago. My buddy shows me the Z Blue. I had a few bucks burning a hole in my pocket and told him to find me one. Low and behold about a week later he says I got one for ya on the secondary market. It's a used one but a good price. After weighing the fees, a polishing etc all in it wasn't that much more to step into a new one from one of his many AD sources. So I bit the bullet and put a deposit down, shuffled some cash around, and here it is finally. This pic is only an hour old. Love it. |

Bon Vivant BBQ. It's just a locally sold BBQ company. We have a great cult following here.
My apologies for the rotated pics. I took a few more but it keeps turning them. Sorry. |

Milgauss GV is one of the most beautiful, simple, clean, looking watches Rolex makes. The green crystal adds just a little flair !
Congrats !

Congrats. Cool watch. Have not considered the model. Really beauty!
I see on ebay (not that I am buying from there!) that pre-owned Milguass GV go for about $6K. |
