Hi All,
Need some help and advise.
I have been informed my the Rolex AD here that there is a V series Milguass GV and is retailed at US$5500, should I go ahead and make the purchase?
I have Daytona black SS, GMT IIc already.

Can someone help me and comment? Cheers have a good day.

marke · 28 January 2009, 09:23 AM

yes go 4 it

BZA · 28 January 2009, 09:25 AM

GV is a fantastic watch - try it and see!

EDIT: Hold on - you getting a DSSD AND a GV?!

Well done if so!

SayangM · 28 January 2009, 10:23 AM

... hurts to ask for an discount on it as well!
Good luck!

tphan · 28 January 2009, 10:54 AM

It's Milgauss.

I have the GV...it is a great looking watch. Anyone that think any less...well it's their opinion.

I probably would, love the green crystal.

i bought mine 2 1/2 weeks ago i love it i love it, i chose between that and the LV sub which I already had but flipped it 2 years ago so i wanted something different for a change, I love it more then i ever loved my LV.. I never thought the milgauss was anything special until I bought the gv and saw it in person.. unbelievable.. Now i got 10% off my gv and was put at the top of the waiting list at my AD only because I bought a brand new 18k yellow gold DDII 2 weeks prior to buying the GV so my sales guy took care of me like he promised.. pull the trigger otherwise that watch will be gone in 1 more day...

I can't remember what I paid for mine, but think retail is $6550 and not $5500.

Its a really neat watch. Love mine, especially the crystal and the lightning bolt seconds hand.

It will always be a difficult watch to find and is destined to be a true Rolex collectible.

I don't own one but I DO like them. The style is classic and understated. The price sounds very reasonable. I'd say go for it or it may be a long time before you have the opportunity again.

applebook · 28 January 2009, 12:48 PM

Sharo, go for it...and be glad that you didn't buy one when they were $10K not too long ago :D

chenx15 · 28 January 2009, 01:05 PM

go for the kill!!!

Singslinger · 28 January 2009, 01:54 PM

It's a good price for a great watch - go for it!

Watch Fan · 28 January 2009, 04:39 PM

Great watch and a great price. Most "grey' dealers are still asking $1,000. over retail, or about $7500. for the GV. I got mine at list price and had to wait over 5 months for it. I'd say go for it.

I think MSRP for GV in the U.S. is 6550 and the regular ones are 6200.

brettpaul · 28 January 2009, 06:59 PM

I think it's a great looking watch and would only add to your collection - very unique.

jas55 · 28 January 2009, 07:02 PM

I have heard there can be a lengthy wait for the GV series Milgauss. If you really like it, and have the cash go for it!

charliec · 28 January 2009, 07:18 PM

Your location on your profile is London. If you're in the US and you've been offerred it for £5500 then for the US market it's a great price. Lucky chapy.

HOWEVER you are paying over the odds for it if you are UK based as $5500 equates to £3950. UK rrp at old VAT 17.5% was only £3800 and that will drop to nearly £3710 at 15% vat .

However if you are in the US it's a great price

although you take the chance of customs here in London claiming vat and import duty.

Personally i'd swerve and hope a UK AD comes up trumps. Sorry sharo, I know it's not what you want to hear.

Randy · 29 January 2009, 12:32 AM

At 5500? what you waiting for??
