The AD in Dundee has never even seen one, so rare in Scotland at the moment.
Did you like the watch?

They did, sold it yesterday. The last SS Daytona they had I posted here and a TRF member from New York flew up, bought it, and flew home.

I'll keep you all posted when another lands.

The Milgauss has really started to grow on me. I will take some new shots shortly, but the watch really must be seen, to be appreciated. The case and dial is huge and magnificent. It's a super clean look, with a touch of orange here and there, to give it a unique and fresh look to Rolex.

Nice gesture letting us know, Al!

I just wish it had been the MGV, and I just might have bought it!

Mike, do you think that Rolex has changed the quality of the lume on the Milgauss??

It looks as if it glows more than usual!

Mo, the Rolex Milgauss Ref# 116400 comes in 3 types.. white dial with white saphire crsytal, black dial with white saphire crystal and a black dial with a green saphire crystal..

only the green has that greenish angle and when u shoot a pic with flash thats what you get.... a great watch it is from every angle too

All speculation at this point. All styles are extremely rare..but clear glass versions are more available. GV is nearly impossible to find.

I was at my AD this afternoon and they said they could get a white dial one from the NY store in 2 days. Should I buy it? I have yet to see one in person.

Is it just me...?

I have seen some shots of the new Milgauss and is it just me or does anyone else think it looks like it is missing a bezel ? Somehow just looks a little unfinished. IMHO

Peter, I felt the same way until I had one in my hands a couple of days ago. Now I can say that it's a very significant watch. It "wears" a heck of a lot bigger than it looks, and the orange highlights really pop out.
