saw the green milgauss in person!!!

Is it going to be Greece the first country in the world again?
Same happened with the ss ceramic gmtII
I saw the anniversary milgauss sitting at my dealers window yesterday! I tried it on...beautiful watch! The glass green tint is outstanding!
Retail is 5250 euros but they wouldn't sell it to me. They say they only had one but they will be able to sell it in December..

No pics as i dont carry my camera around when shopping :)

Hi mic - it seems strange to me why an AD would have a watch in their display window that they weren't prepared to sell, did they give you a reason why you'd have to wait until December? - Neil.

they said the same thing that they had said about the ceramic gmt. That they got one fom rolex for display purposes but they are not allowed to sell it before the official release..

BS??? Maybe

Anyways, if i really wanted to buy it I would have found a way to do so...i just dont need this watch right now so I didn't press things. if anyone wants it desperatelly i could help

I had both the ordinary and the GV on my wrist two days ago when I went to my AD to get my SS Cos regulated.

The GV was not for sale since it was on the wrist of one of the senior sales' assistants, but the ordinary one I could have bougth, had I liked it.

Quite extradinary, though, that you saw a GV in the sales' display!

I have a Milgauss Anniv. that I bought from my friend who is a AD. Am wearing it right now. Love it. I find it troublesome that dealers like the AD on State Street in Santa Barbara and Gold Palace in Berkeley have Milgauss' in stock (non-Anniv) but are only willing to sell them to someone who makes a multiple watch purchase. Totally lame to show them to people and then now allow them to purchase unless you buy some other watch or jewelry along with it. Just my opinion.
