Wow, that is lovely, always liked the Milguass in its various guises.

Nice watch enjoy it for many many years to come.

I don’t see it coming back. It was always unpopular. Personally, I never cared much for it, though some of its specs were interesting.

It may come back with a silicon hairspring.

I would like to see it come back, updated. It probably will come back, at some point; better odds than them releasing a new model.

One of the questions they asked him directly was what did he think about the Milgauss. They didn't say for 100% it was coming back but the line of questions they asked about the previous reference made him think that they would be bringing it back. I hope they do I really like that reference especially the Z-Blue.

The AD knows just as much as we do. Absolutely nothing.

You're not wrong, he was honest with me in the fact that the person from his training was only asking what he thought about the piece, which is where he came to the conclusion that they must be bringing it back.

[oknice]

A random guy at Rolex asks a random guy being trained and you conclude the Milgauss is returning?

My Milgauss GV is different from my other Rolex watches.

Looks just as good today.

Beautiful, so different from other Rolex watches.

Congratulations.

Sounds like a great visit to the Rolex AD in Scottsdale Fashion Square! It's interesting that the SA just returned from Switzerland and hinted that the Milgauss might be making a comeback. I really hope they bring it back too, especially the Z-Blue – it's such a cool reference. Enjoy your time in AZ!

My biggest regret in watch collecting was selling my Milgauss. It was an impulse move when I was building my collection instead of hanging onto it longer. Anyone who has done this for awhile knows that you can fall in and out of love with pieces and come back to them. I think about selling for 6-12 months before I even make a move these days.

I love the Milgauss. I think it has lost some of its niche in the Rolex catalogue as the brand has released more quirky dials and configurations over the past few years. For a while, the Milgauss was the only “unusual” piece in the lineup. I do think it will make a return. I think its DNA is tied up in that lightening bolt hand and now the GV glass. I don’t think either of those design features will disappear.

I remember when the last version of Milgauss came out it was hot for a bit and then was not. I did not think it was a bad looking watch, not my cup of tea. I did like that green glass and orange markers and lightning hand.

Last year we all saw the patent for the coke bezel design or so we thought, it did not happen. So this may also be something Rolex is considering but has not decided yet.
Who knows? They always surprise us. At least you chatted up the SA and maybe made a good impression.

Cheers,

There is no need for any mechanical watch, but that's not the point.

The Milgauss has always been one of my favorite Rolex. Would be great if it comes back.

Yes, confirmed from the source. My Grandma is one of the two people at Rolex that can make the Pepsi bezel. They just had her train an apprentice, because they are moving her to the green sapphire Milgauss assembly line.

Sure, and my dog works for Patek Philippe

At last, some confirmation.

[Kreyzhorse]

It's in the Air King realm.... and if they brought the AK back, I seem them bringing it back. Some changes for sure, but I still expect it to be a little funky... maybe even a bit more than before.
