Milgauss Question Green Glass

Is the "green glass" version a limited release anniversary edition or is it just an alternative configuration for the watch? Will it be more difficult to obtain?

I'm seeing a few pics of the clear glass model on other forums (as well as people stating preferences for it) but I like the look of the green glass better.

Any reliable info for this?

Thanks
Aaron

The Milgauss GV (Glasse Verte) has been called an "Anniversary" model, but so has the SS Sub Date LV and the new YG GMT II. That does not mean that they are limited as such, but the Milgauss GV will definately be harder to get than the other Milgauss versions.

The latest Milgauss is a re-issue of this model.

The original Milgauss was introduced in 1954 and available up until ~20 years ago.

The re-issue is with a new 40 mm case and available in the 3 mentioned basic formats.. Black Dial with green sapphire crystal, Black Dial, and White Dial...

I don't believe there has been "anniversary" or "limited edition" attached to this model at all.

I do believe that the green glass version will be the most desireable among collectors, released in fewer numbers, and probably sell for premium prices initially..
