Incoming: Shocking!

Like being struck by lightening, I walked by the boutique, went in, saw this, put it on, paid and walked out and have not wanted to take it off since. Most comfortable watch I own at the moment or can remember owning, ever. Always said it was too big but that was before I put one on. Clear as a bell day or night in bright light or low, bright and fun, it draws attention to itself without being gaudy.

The GV is extraordinary. I’m surprised there isn’t more of it in use by rolex or anyone else!

Minute track is actually really useful for timing things!

Am going to go find some magnets and stand near them!!

Ugh, I'm jealous. I'm on the list at 4 different ADs in NYC and don't expect it anytime soon.

Congrats!

Wow, congrats, looks great on your wrist

I don’t know why the Milgauss isn’t more popular. I love my white dial

I ordered a orange strap for mine. It’s going to make a great summer watch!

while it's not a reference i've considered for my collection, that is a really nice looking watch. i think rolex did a great job with the design and i hope you enjoy the hell out of it!

I would describe it as electrifying not shocking :-)
Big congrats on this very special watch.

Surprised this piece was lying in the show case in the Rolex boutique and was ready for anyone who walked in and made a purchase...

One lucky day for the OP. Cheers.

Congratulations. Great watch, good score.

This is how I got mine. Walked past an AD with little on display, saw it in window, had to do a double take, shot in and nailed it. It's the loudest watch I own. Much more bling than a TT. Or it was. My wife loved it so much that I ended up passing it on to her.
