Just bought a 2009 Milgauss – Is It Too Good to Be True? Service Advice Needed!

Certainly! Here’s the revised version with your addition:

Hello everyone,

This is my first post, and I'd really appreciate any advice you can offer.

I just purchased my first Rolex—a 2009 Milgauss 116400GV—from a reputable dealer with excellent reviews across Google and various forums. The salesperson was very helpful and mentioned that the watch is in mint condition, with no signs of wear and still has the original stickers on it. It also comes with all the original box and papers.

According to the dealer, the watch has had two previous owners, both of whom apparently never wore it. Is this unusual? I’ve attached pictures of the watch for reference - if you look closely you can see the stickers.

They also opened it up, checked the movement, and tested it. It’s gaining just 1 second per day and is running fine, so they said there's no need for a service.

Given that the watch hasn’t been worn much, do you think I should get it serviced by Rolex? I’ve heard that if a watch is unused for a long period, the lubricant can dry out, which might cause wear once the movement starts running again. Is that something I should be concerned about?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

PS: A small part of me wonders if this is too good to be true. I have a 14-day full refund period, and the watch should arrive in a couple of days.

PSS They do have several other milgauss's on their website, some newer (2014, 2020 etc) and they are a mixture of good and very good condition, but only the 2009 was mint!
