Pictures are from another forum but this is an AD in Montreal Canada.

non-green glass black face..

white face..

So this AD has every one of them? I have been at the head of 2different lists for the green glass version for some time now. Also at this AD...

now that last one is going to make me get on a plane.

Edit so the Milgauss is out? Has anyone else seen these in an AD?

Well, from the pics to judge it IS out

I really like the one I pasted out of your pics, and that is the one I would go for if I wanted a Milgauss, but in fact IMHO they all look amazing.

But I would NOT have thought it possible: The "Zebra" looks even WORSE in real life!

Thanks for sharing!

That last one made me have to swallow my bile back down. It's HIDEOUS! How much money do they want for that monstrosity anyway?

daunwaun · 5 September 2007, 10:57 AM

the last one is very ugly i dont like!!!

Antonio · 5 September 2007, 11:49 AM

Anybody know what the price will be for the Rolex Pikachu in the first pic with green crystal? There is any option to change the Pikachu Needle at the RSC?

I believe the MSRP of the new Milgauss to be around $6000 USD. The green crystal model will cost a little bit more.

I cant wait to see the new Milgauss in person, I really like how it has a 40 mm case. I also really like the green crystal model and the white dial model.

Lol-x · 5 September 2007, 12:46 PM

In Australia the RRP of the green crystal Milgauss is AUD$8,250 = US$6,683. But I think the actual U.S.A. retail price should be quite a few hundred dollars less.
It seems there are waiting lists in Australia already. Rolex expects that it will be out here in the shops next month (October 2007)

Thanks Jeff this is the first sighting to my knowledge of the new Milgauss in an AD

daunwaun · 5 September 2007, 01:10 PM

come on its going for that much???

Lol-x · 5 September 2007, 01:19 PM

Seems that the RRP of Rolex models do vary from country to country. I don't know how Rolex sets those prices, but it does seem that the USA does get the cheapest RRP's set by Rolex Geneva.

Rolex Australia did indicate that the price of the new Milgauss might possibly be higher than RRP too, and that this may be due to supply/demand

I guess we'll have to wait and see to know for sure.

daunwaun · 5 September 2007, 01:20 PM

to be honest if i never see that watch again i would not care...but thats just me

kungpow · 5 September 2007, 02:09 PM

Didn't realize they came out already... i forsee a trip to the AD this week...

Jeff · 5 September 2007, 09:59 PM

green glass is supposed to msrp for 6250. The others should be 5900. Again I was not there pictures are from a friend in Montreal.

Rudy1000 · 6 September 2007, 01:21 AM

Great to see that it is out in Canada? Anyone know when it is supposed to show up at ADs in the U.S.?

citidon · 15 October 2007, 11:59 PM

Can someone repost the images as they are now broken? Thanks

Welcome to TRF!

Well, if the pics were deleted (or moved to another folder or renamed) from the photo server (for instance Photobucket), the link is destroyed, and you will get that "Red Cross" where the pic should be.

Hopefully, they are still on the HD, though. That way they can be re-uploaded to Photobucket.

We must just wait and see.

SLR · 16 October 2007, 01:37 AM

can't see pics.

now i have to go to the horribly slow Rolex website to look at it.

904L_addict · 16 October 2007, 04:10 AM

new YM. new Milgauss. new GMT II. new AK. new Rolex for a new generation?

problmchylde · 16 October 2007, 04:19 AM

I might go for the black faced MILGAUSS.I can't afford the original,so this is the next best thing.

Lol-x · 17 October 2007, 08:12 AM

I'm not so sure the new Milgauss is out yet, it might have just been some mock-up display models (without movements) that I've seen Rolex supply to their AD's.
I haven't heard any other reports anywhere in the world of the Milguass having hit the shelves.
I would be surprised to see a Milgauss on display too, as from what I've heard most AD's have waiting lists and so I would expect for a while at least, Milgauss will be selling like hot cakes.

Destroy · 17 October 2007, 09:07 AM

Definitely NOT at ADs yet. I'm having second thoughts about getting one though - no date and all....however it WILL be a safe queen so I don't suppose it'll matter........

Have to agree with you there Steve O, the rest of it looks ok but the "lightning Bolt"

JMHO,

SSD · 17 October 2007, 11:07 AM

Gonna have to reserve my opinion until I see it in person. Not enough "unstaged", non-PR approved pics out at all.

I'll say this, however, orange is not my favorite color... Looking forward to seeing them, though.

Rawhyde · 17 October 2007, 11:21 AM

Don't be hasty. Many moons ago, whoda thunk that SUBMARINER written in bright RED would be cool? Now, who thinks it's cool now??!? Who'd have thought an even bigger and clunkier Submariner with the words SEADWELLER 2000 (again in bright red) was going to be highly desired one day? How about a Sub or Seadweller with a big blocky COMEX logo on the face??!?

Collectors items are often easily differentiable and always rare. If it's very popular or has a long production run, then it's not rare.....

Keep an open mind, but it's still ok to think a Leopard Daytona looks worse than a turd!

Jedi · 17 October 2007, 01:30 PM

I'll hopefully check out a few vintage Milgauss when I'm in HK tomorrow. Anyone have an idea of price range? I'm assuming 15-20k USD.
