I doubt the current Milgauss will ever become as valuable or as "interesting" as the originals - whilst they're a great timepiece, its still effectively a "copy" of the original.

Thankfully I'm lucky to have an original on my wrist right now .... utterly gorgeous, its a bit of a Q-car/sleeper type of watch. Doesn't look all that amazing, but it just feels right - correct weight, strap feels perfect on. Its the only watch I've ever had that I can wear all day.

If you want my opinion, I think that the non-GV Milgausses could well hold a premium in the future. They're not selling particularly well compared to the GV, and history tells us that poor sellers = big collectors pieces (think Newman Daytonas). I reckon that the current Milgauss and the current TOG could well be collectors pieces in the future.

You heard it here first XD

Ah for that crystal ball.

It's hard to say. Most take a time line view in months rather than years. Some very noted people in the hobby feel the references of today are to common to have the collectability of the references of old.

I don't know.

I wonder sometimes if the new people of today comming into the hobby might look back someday and remember the watches they "grew up with" as I have with the plastics.

Time and patience will tell.......
