Icon20 Milgauss the Green one

A US AD has offered a new Milgauss to me. Black dial,green sap. cryst., oyster braclet. The more I look at the pictures on the net, the more I like. What is the feeling on the down side if I get and and don't like it. Will I get hurt big time? Guys who have them---are you still pleased? AD advises MSRP, no discount
Thanks,
texas tea

The GV's are selling on the secondary market between 13K to 16K consistently.

If you can get it for MSRP then GET IT!!!!

Even if you don't like it, you can turn it around for a quick profit

Seems like a win/win to me.

But then again, I am not sure what is not to like about it!

No I did not. I am new to the rolex community. Always admired them--just purchased my first one ( listing here on the forum--sold to me by VANDY ). Did not know this watch existed. From the out pouring of " Get It" based on it's potential resale value, guess I will--That is if still available. Iam not into flipping. I buy to satisify my taste. I hope once it arrives, I will like the look of it on my wrist. I had intentions of buying 2 more watches this year. One for sure is the TT Sub. Serti dial ( blue ), and it is up in the air on the second. Either Steel&Gold, champ.dial YM, or the Steel Daytona with black or white face. Those are the watches I have been looking at--not the Milgauss.

Nah, seriously, there IS no downside to getting the MG GV! If you don't like it (which you WILL), just resell it for a HUGE profit.

It's a no-brainer, really. Please go get it!

If you are going to buy it to wear it, make sure you like the design and how it looks.

For looks, I personally prefer the look of the White Milgauss, so everyone has their own taste.

On the other hand, if you buy it and don't like it, you can sell it, and use the funds to buy 1 - 3 Rolex's (depending on the model of course!)
