Congrats on the new Milgauss! You'll absolutely love it. It's thick, but not too thick in my opinion. I find it to wear very comfortably. I have the white one and absolutely love it. To me all versions look great. Enjoy it!

White Milgauss, Thoughts

I like mine. I have had a black dial previously and now have a white and prefer the white dial personally

Undecided on which, but one of the current Milgauss models will be a collectible 20-25 years from now, IMO.

The blue is my favorite, but I think it might end up being the white one.

Collectable, I think so, I don't wear it to work because of PCL'S but everytime I look at it I know it's a keeper. They sure have the pretty factor going on too.

I’d rather have the GV in black or blue. If white dial, I’d go for an explorer II or a datejust.

I love Milgauss especially adore the white one the most.

For the whole Milgauss lineup. Black is too blend. Due to popularity of GV & Z-Blue will make them overfloat on market. Unpopular now Which will make White Mil harder to find much later on market.

Collectible, is something very interest. Sometimes folks don't want something when it is readily available, later when hard to find, people want it more. Celebrity also like an item that is fewer to feel unique or exclusive. Common folks can trigger their collectible bug if white Mil later show up on someone's wrist or in a movie. For modern off production Rolex lineup, I do think it will be a future collectible.

Other Milgauss not so much.

I hate it. Black dial is better because of the full white batons.

The white dial has been on my radar for quite some time. My bride likes it as well. I appreciate the "I'm different" factor associated with this model. Never seen one in the wild. May have to try and pick one up before it gets too late. Still seen a few in AD's and trusted sellers here on TRF From what I've seen, they can be had NIB/NOS at really great prices.

I posted this in another Milgauss thread some time ago, but there is tech company with orange in their logo who would give away white Milgauss's as awards. I was at a meet and greet with them and at least 10 guys were wearing that model.

I think it looks crisp and great as a change of pace!

Wow! Never seen one in person in NY! Has anyone ever actually seen one in the wild? I love mine, but I've never seen one in the wild ever.

Great collection and photo. I like them all, but have to say, the Milguass really stands out.

It has grown on me...

It's not one's first Rolex, but a nice add to a collection.

LOVE my GV, or I would consider one. Probably a great value.

I recall Las Vegas dealers practically throwing them at me a few years ago. Not sure why, I never expressed an interest. They just seemed keen to move them.
