So I was thinking about adding the white Milgauss, could I please have some opinions and pics, pros and cons about owning one.

Would really appreciate comments from both sides of the coin.

Thanks a lot guys!

I have a gv and white. The white gets way more wrist time. It's a little polarizing which is why I like it more. It's a pretty unique piece. I have never seen it in the wild. Go for it.

I'm thinking the same way, less common is good. I wear my GV a lot less recently....i might add the white dial version as early as lunch today, prefer more opinions as I do not plan to ask the AD if I could try the watch outdoors.
Thanks!

Of all the Rolex ref that I own, this one seems the most uncommon, wish that I could wear it outdoors to have a look, maybe the store manager can accompany me.

For me personally I don't think there is a bad Rolex, LOL!

I find it quite easy to read, and a very clean sharp look.......

Plus, I like the lume..........

No real cons.....other than perhaps the lack of a date. It wears very comfortably, and again, presents quite well, in my opinion. Good luck with your decision....

CWIN · 18 July 2014, 03:17 PM

I have only ever seen one "in the wild," and it definitely looks much better in the flesh than in photos.

WWC · 18 July 2014, 03:20 PM

Had it for 3 years and eventually got tired of it. Felt exactly the same way some people feel as it's quite a unique piece and also stands out, but in the end I opted for a sub and never looked back.

I wish I would have just gone with the sub at first but I really wanted to try the white Milgauss.

Try it on first and make sure you really want it.

It's a great second watch. Love the shape, the thickness of the case, love that's a 40 mm. Nice crisp, white dial with a little interest going on with the orange indices and orange second hand. There's a different from the DJII that I love also; that it's thicker and a tad more quirkier. I prefer a date function but can forgive that it doesn't have one like the Tudor black bay, another favorite of mine. Has a cool causal feel to it. But them again , I'm a sucker for white dials and this one makes to it and makes me smile when I look at it. Also, seems the dial sits up closer to the crystal. Sometimes I think of it as what the DJII should have been shaped like. So, some personal thoughts and why I recently asked DSW FOR WHICH HE PROMPTLY DELIVERED. Strong recommendation. . .

gold canyon · 18 July 2014, 04:05 PM

Sorry, double post.

viper9669 · 18 July 2014, 06:13 PM

Yes! I just picked one up! Thanks for the feedback and great pics guys!

Here's a pic just after purchase.

*I already removed the stickers back at the office.

Congrats Patrick!

I personally think it's a very sharp piece. Love the bright white dial! Enjoy it!

Thank you my friend, the AD is only 15mins drive from my workplace.

REDiesel · 18 July 2014, 10:27 PM

Congrats on the new watch. I have a GV, but the white is also one of my favorites. One of the easiest to read IMO. The Milgauss has the weight of a precious metal watch which gives it the feeling of serious quality. I initally miss that weight when I switch to my ExpII or DJ.

Thanks for the congrats guys. My wife also mentioned the white Milgauss looked like a lady's watch when she saw promo pics a couple of years back.

When she saw me wearing the watch into the house just now, she said ok.

.........And asked me why do I need another Milgauss.
