It seems we all have this desire for every Rolex to be rare or hard to find. Its much better for all of us that the watches we love are available....what better way for us to enjoy them and at the same time, show the world how popular these fabulous timepieces are. This marketing by Rolex and its AD's of putting us on waiting lists and only letting us get them if we are "special" customers is just irritating. The more Milgausses the merrier!!!!!!!!

What makes us loving these hard to watches is they are hard to get. LOL
Its a natural feeling.

Milgaus Blk/Wht are available in London ADs at normal msrp. However I still havent seen a GV in any AD's display so far.

GV's are certainly not available here in the case in the UK as I've previously posted. Whilst some AD's have White & Black ones even they are still moderately hard to come by.

I got lucky. Had 4 AD's looking for a GV for 4 months. 2 AD's in Houston, 1 in Florida, 1 in Connecticut. Connecticut came though first. Paid for it last Tuesday, had it Fed'xd and arrived next day. But yes, very hard to find. Just picked it up today at local AD from getting a link taken out of band. I'm loving it!! They did have a black face NON GV in case.

Speaking of Amazon - can you believe the price these guys are asking for the GV??

Been out of the Rolex loop for a while but stopped by a local AD today and there was a GV in the show case. Sales lady told me it's been there for 3 months (not sure if she knew for sure that it was different than the white version). Anyway, what's the current status of the GV? Are they readily available now and sitting in cases?

I have seen 2 GV's in the wild. I have seen one sitting in an AD's case. I see Blk and White Mills in the case all the time. I am wearing a blk dial at this time.

IMO the Milgauss is a nice and heavy watch, easy to read. I though that they would sell better.

GV is very common in Hong Kong. A lot of OLs (office ladies) wear them in Central. Cheers,

GV in the Philippines in US currency 6,600. Some AD with stock. Got mine US currency 6,000 in Singapore BNIB last year. I think GV is cheaper in HK?
