Hi new member to TRF.

got my name down for the new milgauss, just wondering if anyone knows when it will be available in the uk. also what is the list price and what do you think they will be on the grey market.

thanks in advanced

A dealer in Montreal had all three on display. I posted the pics somewhere in this forum. List for non-green glass is 5950 USD and 6200 USD for the green glass. So they are out there just not in all markets yet. I am waiting on one as well.

Haven't seen any on this side of the pond yet. I'd love to find a green glass version.

I went into my local AD yesterday to ask if they would put me on their 5 year waiting list for a SS Daytona - they agreed and took my details but while we were talking they said that they were expecting their first Milgauss next month and currently had no one on their waiting list - I got them to agree to give me a bell when the first one arrived. List price will be approx £3,300 for the green sapphire glass version. Can't say I like the watch myself but it may be different when I see one in the flesh - the plan at this stage is to buy the watch with open papers (if I can) and then take it with me on one of my regular business trips to London to sell to one of the grey dealers - I was speaking to one such dealer a few weeks back and he said that if I got a chance to get hold of a Milgauss to just get it and he would always take it off my hands at MSRP + profit to me - he said that there were likely to be long waiting lists in London and that the watch would be "red hot" - I guess if this works out I can put the profit into the "Daytona account" ........only 4 years, 11 months and 30 days to go!!!

Welcome!

Arturo · 13 September 2007, 06:12 AM

Woody, most AD's won't put one on a rare watch list if you are just going to flip it. That is how my AD works anyway.

Welshwatchman · 13 September 2007, 06:12 AM

I am on the shortlist at my local AD.

MRSP is just under £3300 for the green glass version.

I really fancy this one but it would mean me selling up my lot and adding a few pennies as well.

Ah well.

I prefer the Milgauss Green Glass version:

SPACE-DWELLER · 13 September 2007, 07:18 AM

Welcome to TRF!

Rumour has it that the Milgauss will be out in DENMARK before Xmas.

But I doubt it! "Before Xmas"!

Anyway, that is what some say on another forum (must say I don't write there often for the same reason).

I get this picture when I read this "before Xmas"-

:

People standing in line before the AD to get the MANY Milgausses that come just before Xmas!

Not bl'''dy likely.

My guess is that it will appear on the market (in Europe) spring or summer next year, but you wouldn't come near one before end next year or even later due to the already long waiting lists.

greenbezeler · 14 September 2007, 01:41 AM

who else is getting one? when are you expected to get it?
anyone got one already?
I hope it looks as good in the flesh!

Blue Bull · 14 September 2007, 01:47 AM

Here they mentioned November for an eta,on the Milgaus.It seems its going to be VERY demanded and lowely supplied.Just if I read it correctly between the lines and especially on the green tinted glass.

Jeff · 14 September 2007, 02:02 AM

here are the pictures a friend in Montreal posted on a different forum..

non-green glass black face..

white face..

None of these watches were presold.

As a U.S. soldier here in Germany I'm authorized to use a VAT form for any purchase on the German economy. Basically I don't have to pay German taxes which equals 19%. If I used this form at my local AD I would pay 4,050 Euro or $5,622.80 USD for a green glass version of the milgauss.

jhelms · 14 September 2007, 04:17 AM

I'd really hope that they will make the green glass / white face an option in a couple of years... I think that would be a perfect looking combo (although the black / green glass is looking better to me every time I see it).

I guess you are right but in all honesty I am not sure what I will do - if I really like it then it will probably be a keeper or it may at some stage in the future give me some leverage with a grey dealer for an SS Daytona. Speaking of which a dealer phoned me yesterday to say that they have an SS Daytona sat in their safe for me - all I need to do is find £7500.......................
