What do you guy's think about a milgauss GV for everyday wear? I seen it at AD and it kind of called to me. I'm retired so no real issue about damage, just sitting around the pool, and playing some golf, any thoughts?

joe100 · 3 February 2014, 03:05 AM

It's a Rolex. That's about sums it up.

It's not made of glass, it will do everything you ask of it for the rest of your life

Why not? I wear mine to work - desk job. I also wear it with polo shirts etc. when weather permits. It goes casual pretty well - despite the PCLs. I often see pics of Rolex "Ambassadors" - usually some golf pro - wearing a GV. I am not a fan of golf, but these folks look good wearing the watch.

I hope you enjoy the GV. I was not a fan at first...but that sliver of green, at the right angles, really sets off the watch. I also like the thicker case / weight of the watch.

Sorry or a potentially stupid question; why "when weather permits"? what sort of weather needs to be avoided?

I meant when weather permits re: wearing a Polo shirt - not a Milguass ;-)

It's a beautiful rolex. Do it

dw.metro · 3 February 2014, 03:22 AM

Great everyday watch...a modern classic and yet understated.

petenyc · 3 February 2014, 03:42 AM

great watch go for it

Hazelnut · 3 February 2014, 03:58 AM

It's a great everyday watch. It is a little top heavy so your golf score and wrist might suffer abit.

Cru Jones · 3 February 2014, 04:10 AM

All day everyday all the time anywhere.

jjnd08 · 3 February 2014, 04:19 AM

Do it. You don't need a date function since you're retired, and the green glass will look great in the sun while you're by the pool.

swils8610 · 3 February 2014, 04:27 AM

Do It. It's a great watch.

I love mine and haven't ever regretted.

Its only been a week but loving it. I can envision myself still sporting the milgauss gv well into my retirement age. A fun watch.

Wow! Lots of milgauss fans out there,thanks guy's!

boywondergq1 · 3 February 2014, 05:11 AM

Always have loved the black Milgauss. Both non/GV models.

Frosty · 3 February 2014, 06:52 AM

GV, the only way to fly.

HL65 · 3 February 2014, 06:54 AM

Why not...If you like it go for it! Cheers,

rastaman vibrations · 3 February 2014, 07:10 AM

I think the green glass and orange hand look awesome.

CWIN · 3 February 2014, 07:12 AM

I say wear what you like whenever you want regardless of dress or the occasion. The GV is a great everyday watch!

KINGROLESAR · 3 February 2014, 07:57 AM

Gv- who wouldn't want to wear this...... everyday.......

Unbelievable stunning watch, way, way under respected!!! I thought it was goofy for 15 years until someone recommended it and I started taking a hard look at it. Then I became the idiot for not picking up its' beauty years earlier. If you want a Rolex you don't see 15 tines a day on others- this could be it.

MortgageGuy · 17 May 2014, 03:56 AM

GV is gorgeous, I am looking forward to the new release from Basel as well

afc1 · 3 February 2014, 07:22 AM

Great choice

Flintstone · 3 February 2014, 07:46 AM

It's my favorite go-to watch in my collection. It works for all occasions. I feel great every time it's on my wrist.

toph · 3 February 2014, 07:50 AM

Whilst I don't wear it every day, it certainly can be. Only issue is lack of date at a quick glance but you have a phone...
