Milgauss strap game
Hi all,
I am a bit of a Milgauss fanboy... I have the black GV and non-GV in my collection. I have owned many watches throughout the 15 years I've been collecting but the Milgauss has always fascinated me... part of this fascination comes from the super-interesting (and ofter unexpected!) colour combinations one gets when playing around with straps. I thought I'd start a thread and post Milgauss strap options when I find something I love and try to make it arty. Hope you like it! |

Me too...
In an attempt to add something constructive to this thread... When the Milly was rereleased collectors fawned over it. Then it became old news. I was and still am fascinated by the watch that Rolex (of all folks) put an orange lightning bolt hand and a green crystal on! The gauss rating and all that is no longer (maybe back in the day) much to discuss, but what a COOL oversized oyster case with color! Love the watch! Back around 2020 I let my son pick one of my watches as a college graduation gift. (near perfect gpa) When I laid out all my watches for him to pick, he passed over all (much more expensive) because he loved the look of the Milly. I had it serviced, put back in its box with papers and such and wrapped it up for him for graduation day. A grateful, tasteful, and considerate son bonded with me and the watch community that day for life. It was a very very cool moment. He has since bought another watch on his own since graduation and is still sending me links to read about watches. The Milly was not a "thing" he lusted over, it was more of a thought pattern awakening. Anyway, all that was off topic, BUT to say... LOL... He and I have played around with different straps for it just for kicks. After all... it's just a watch. ;)

There has to be something magnetic about the Milgauss (pun intended)... some people just gravitate towards it. I totally identify with your story. Even though I had been into watches from a young age, I thought Rolex was for old people... but around 2010 I saw a GV Milgauss across the cafe where I was sitting and the madness began! |

Very much enjoying this Hirsch "Arne" textile & rubber strap. Perfect fit, extremely comfortable and gives the MG the undestated military vibe I love.
I paired it with my 16600 SD too and it looks just as cool. Definitely recommend! |

Brown leather strap
When I first got my Milgauss I found the polish way more bling than I imagined. As a result I put it on a leather strap. On some days I still prefer it that way but these days I wear on original bracelet so it can stay on in the shower.
