Anyone know of where a Milgaus is for sale yet? Due to a new job I am taking, might be very benificial to have an anti-magnetic watch. Working with some very strong electronic/x ray systems.

Considering IWC Ingenieur or Mark XVI as well.

Chad,
I'm hearing reports of the fall in the U.S. Not sure about anywhere else.

leopardprey · 24 May 2007, 01:08 PM

Know of any other Anti-Magnetic mechanical watches besides Sinn, Ball, and IWC?

A sun dial would be good enough where you are going.

According to my rep, I should have the new collection of watches sometime this June, I am not sure if Milgaus will be one of them, though. I have, however, already received the price list for all the new Rolex'.

djemmtee · 24 May 2007, 01:28 PM

Dimitris · 24 May 2007, 03:38 PM

An Oyster-Quartz

How does an x-ray system affect an automatic watch? I would have thoguth such fields would be pretty weak, and should not affect mechanics too much.

If they do, by how much?

leopardprey · 24 May 2007, 07:42 PM

Very powerful xray machines, generators, communication equipment and other electroniic equipement.

leopardprey · 24 May 2007, 11:02 PM

Yeah, a sun dial would be advanced technology out in some of the villages! LOL

That's because they don't know written numbers!

Chad, I wonder if there'd be a market for these:

$5900 USD is what has been reported.

Mrdi · 25 May 2007, 06:02 AM

Is that JJ's arm?

Jeff · 25 May 2007, 06:10 AM

I really can't wait to see this in person.

Rubenonfire · 25 May 2007, 09:12 AM

I gotta admit it's pretty cool to actually NEED a Milgauss.

Is it going to be tough enough for you, Chad?

Lol-x · 25 May 2007, 01:41 PM

Thanks SBT that's a very interesting article.

I thought that the theory behind the Milgauss was that the inner case made from a bronze like material was conductive in nature and formed a Faraday Cage and that shielded the movement from electromagnetic radiation.

Here are a couple of images taken from the web to show what I mean:

The 1019 version, a wrist shot

astcell · 27 May 2007, 08:48 PM

That can't be JJ's arm. There is a black hair in that picture.

Unless it's the negative.

Dimitris · 27 May 2007, 09:20 PM

The Casio G-Shock Mudman also has worldtime with 0.5Hour and is very tough and antimagnetic

astcell · 27 May 2007, 09:24 PM

I want a watch that is magnetic with girls only!
