They did a retro version of the Kermit and was really hoping for one for the Milgauss.
Apologies in advance to all current Milgauss owners but if I was suffering from an erection of more then 4 hrs from Viagra I wouldn't seek immediate medical attention I would just look at a current Milgauss.
The 6541 is the mechanical Venus Di Milo of watches and if they ever brought it back in a modern version there would be an infinity waiting list. Again my profoundest apologies to current Milguass owners.

Nah - would ruin my summer look.

Next years updates should be easy to predict. The only watches that haven’t been ‘updated’ are the Milgauss, Explorer I, and Explorer II or am I missing one?

Lamontsanders · 4 September 2020, 08:03 AM

Nah. I love the white MG. Clean watch with enough quirk to make it different. The orange markers turning blue when the lume kicks in is sweet.

77T · 4 September 2020, 09:27 AM

All MG future buyers should be relieved. The 323x seconds gear pivot problem won’t strike them.

Has Rolex released the anti-magnetic rating of its new calibre? It may be that the iron cage doesn't add enough benefit anymore? I realize that Rolex isn't into the 'spec race' per se, but a new anti-magnetic watch should be noticeably more anti-magnetic than a 'regular' Rolex IMO.

Nice summer strap!!

I also agree with the above that the Explorer 1 and 2 must be on the list to update soon as the OP and GMT II are using the new movement family. Timing?...

Undefeatable · 4 September 2020, 09:48 AM

I sure ain't! Gives me at least another year to get my dream GV before any FOMO buyers get to it.

And to Sothy, thats my question too. I figured all modern Rolex's were pretty anit-magnetic, so the iron cage seems redundant. I could be completely wrong. My absolute dream watch would be the current GV in a thinner case (maybe less polished surfaces too, but not too much of a hang up for me).

Pw92676 · 4 September 2020, 09:49 AM

I’m actually thrilled. The z blue has been on my radar and now it gives me a little more time to mull it over before it gets the ‘discontinued so price must skyrocket’ treatment.

What about the air king?

Dr.Stu · 4 September 2020, 05:16 PM

Love my white Milgauss & wear it on an orange RubberB in the Summer & on the bracelet the rest of the year, but I agree, I would LOVE to see them bring back at least the honeycomb dial- even if they don't add back in a rotating bezel: (Great pix on RolexPassionReport to check out.)

omx5o · 4 September 2020, 05:46 PM

It will definitely get the new movement. Maybe next year, maybe the year after.

Andad · 4 September 2020, 05:46 PM

My GV is perfect as it is.

HogwldFLTR · 4 September 2020, 06:22 PM

Having just bought mine I'd have liked more time before it was changed. I'd have been pissed. On the other hand as the Milgauss is a sleeper more or less, I'm happy they didn't discontinue it again!!!

Harry-57 · 4 September 2020, 06:25 PM

No. But since I have the one I want they can now do what they like to it.

Bulldog21 · 4 September 2020, 09:07 PM

My AD was certain that the Milgauss was going to be changed this year, maybe next year.

MeepHead · 4 September 2020, 10:25 PM

New milgauss is long long overdue.

Ferdelious · 5 September 2020, 12:20 AM

A new Milgauss with honeycomb dial and ceramic rotatable bezel would have a 15 year wait list like the others.

Roll the Lex · 5 September 2020, 12:35 AM

Don't care. Got my z-blue and all is right with the world.

The only thing I don't like about the Milgauss is the orange lightning second hand.
