How many milgauss GV's were made in your opinion?

[DanP]

Just a thought ladies and gentlemen? I know they aren't a special edition or anything. I have yet to meet another person who has one however (well for here at least). I know there is some mixed feelings here about this watch, but it is my FAVE Rolex. It just speaks to me, and all you good folks here can agree with that for a personal choice. So I was wondering how many they made and why don't I see as many as say all the subs and Dj's around town. Is it different elsewhere in the world? I sure had one hell of a hunt getting mine and it was alot of fun and an experiance I will never forget. Also I wonder if they are still in production as of now? sorry to babble on, I just love the GV so much, and will be with me forever. Thanks for the thoughts people

Best!

Hmm, that would be a near impossible question to answer.

But we can assume it is more "rare" than the SS Daytona, just due to the fact the demand is not as high.

Where did you end up getting yours? I know Brinkhaus has a few... did they tell you otherwise?

I do quite like it, probably more than my SS Daytona's!

They told me they were reserved for other customers. Thats just fine with me because I always buy a Rollie when I go to Hong Kong. I got a great discount on it as well. methinks it was sittin around for a while.

I guess it's impossible to answer the question, but ballpark perhaps?

Ps yo! Yume how you doing bro?
I saw soooo many ss daytonas in KH though, I almost gave up on the GV

[DanP]

sorry double post I got it at Emperor Jewelers

I'm almost surprised they'd come right out and say that

I've been keeping busy, as I'm sure you are. Seeing any Canucks games?

sadly no, not in person anyway, thanks god for expressview and plasma tv's. Were going to the cup baby

yup keeping very busy gotta make the all scrills I can these days bro
Good to see you friend

[DanP]

they only had 1 GV in stock and now its gone..... or so they say..... nice people there but I haven't bought a watch from them so it like they dont trust me

[oztimelord]

I guestimate that given that there are over 1000ADs worldwide and each would get one GV in each shipment around 4000-6000 per year.

What you guys think

[Singslinger]

I have no idea about the production numbers, but I'm guessing that since the GV now sells for its MRSP (compared to a hefty premium last year), the number made can't be very small.

And I agree with you Dan - I really like the GV, it was on my wish list for months before I finally bought one last Sep.

[Imtiaz]

The GVs are very common in Tokyo. And Singslinger is right, the drop in price has huge.

Down to about US$6500. from a peak of US$20,000 less that a year ago.

How rare is a question we can only answer when productions comes to a halt, which won't be for some time

[Trurolexer]

Maybe they already discountinue?

[PalmSpringsCaVault]

thoes things are everywhere and not moving fast -they were thought to be a rare item on their release and then the mill kept running driving price down.. they are more then most thought should be already.

[valentine]

they are showing up all the time now...so it seems to be a regular high production watch

Mate did you have a chance to check the price for the Milgauss Black (The non Green glass).

Please let me know if you did. Also did the store give you a discount or was it the sticker price?

Thanks

[Art 1]

I would venture a guess at there have been 15,000 to 20,000 GV's made since they came out.

[jdH]

hi imtiaz. didn't check the price for the black milgauss. if your a tourist you can get the tax refund. I'm not quite sure if i got the gv below retail price

[padi56]

Well Rolex now make almost a million watches annually so even if the GV is only !% of production, thats still a lot of GV watches a year

Thanks mate. I did a year in Singapore and found out that the GST refund is 3% while we pay 5%. Not too bad.
