any thoughts?

ASW1 · 1 July 2010, 09:02 PM

It is by people that like/want one.

I think so - the MG generically is a super watch, and the green crystal 'pops' IMO.

As the saying goes - "Make up your own mind":

padi56 · 1 July 2010, 10:40 PM

Any watch is desirable if its the one you want,if you mean if I buy a milgauss GV will I Make money on it cannot help you.

esm · 1 July 2010, 11:46 PM

beauty is in the eyes of the beholder... It is only desireable if you like/love it. :-)

sakuraba · 1 July 2010, 11:53 PM

FWIW I like all 3 Milgausses.
Is the green crystal a draw for the GV? Absolutely!

alpinab7 · 1 July 2010, 11:53 PM

I think it is one beautiful watch...guess the point is, do you like it??
If so, who cares about desirability, afterall you desire it...

JUSTROLEXES · 1 July 2010, 11:54 PM

I would love to wear one

KidK · 2 July 2010, 12:04 AM

I really like the "feel" of the updated clasp on the Migauss compared to earlier Rolex bands.

Is the GV more valuable? My understanding is that it is not a limited production watch, so as noted above, buy it if you like it, not only if you plan to sell it shortly.

want to be · 2 July 2010, 12:09 AM

Desireable by whom?

chris russell · 2 July 2010, 12:11 AM

at least a factor of 10 over the GV. To me the gren crystal looks 'hokey' and faddish, (no offense meant to those who like it).

When the Milgauss was first introduced Rolex had a production problem with the green crystals, stopped shipping the GV for a while, and they became difficult to find. People incorrectly thought that meant they were in huge demand or were a limited edition, which fueled speculation and temporarily prices for the GV were 'over list'. Now that the production problem has been solved GVs are as easy to obtain as any other Milgauss, and the pricing has settled so that discounts are available.

Thus, as far as looks, it's a personal choice. As far as speculative value, I doubt that the GV specifically will become an icon like the early original Milgauss. Those are rare now because only a few hundred were ever sold. The GV has probably sold in at least equal quantities to the black and/or white dial, perhaps even more beacuse they were seen as 'special' or 'rare' and a lotta people grabbed one for that reason.

This is my money shot

everose · 2 July 2010, 12:38 AM

The unique nature of Milgauss always dictated that it would be a relatively niche model among the Rolex range,.......even in its re-vamped form.

I think the GV models desirability in particular will depend on whether Rolex ends its production earlier than the other Milgauss models.......and also whether Rolex releases other watches with the green crystal.

I would own one

Esexx · 2 July 2010, 02:02 AM

It must be...

It has been sold out at my local AD for the past few months. As soon as they get one in, it is gone the next day.

ersnyder · 2 July 2010, 02:47 AM

I walked into an AD in Malibu CA yesterday wearing my GV and everyone "ooohed and aaahed." So, yes, I'd say they're still desirable. And, they did NOT have one in their case and they did have a pretty good selection: WG Sub, YG Green dial GMT, SS Daytona (black & white dial), etc.

MagedMS · 2 July 2010, 03:35 AM

Yes it is still desirable.. because it is UNIQUE ! Just look at the color combination of the slate black dial with orange markers & seconds hand and the beautifu white gold Rolex logo... How many watches in the world have this beautiful colors and this stunning G crystal ?

..Adding the excellent design and craftsmanship !!

kenhiraihnl · 2 July 2010, 03:49 AM

I notice that the difference in list price between the black or white MG and the GV is about $800. But gray sellers of the GV seem to be asking $1200 to $18oo more. Makes me wonder if that green crystal is actually synthetic emerald instead of sapphire...LOL...

gone-rolex-mad · 2 July 2010, 06:09 AM

I like the GV, there are quite a few in ADs windows though.

Kanger · 2 July 2010, 06:12 AM

I believe it will always be desirable... to those who DESIRE this specific look.

The GMT Master · 2 July 2010, 06:18 AM

Sales for the GV have died down quite a bit, in my experience. It outsells the white and black dials, but not at the rate at say 12 months ago

Alienbaby · 2 July 2010, 06:25 AM

Those are outstanding GV shots, guys. I love how slick it looks. The green edge just never gets old to look at.

Even if its less desirable by the general public, so be it. I believe that people who get the GV aren't getting it hoping that it will continue being popular. Imagine how desirable it will be when someday it is no longer being produced!

dgr8dude · 2 July 2010, 09:11 AM

I owned the GV for about a month then flipped it to get my GMT IIc. I realized that I preferred sporty watches since I dont wear suits at work and it didnt get enough wrist time compared to my Omega PO. It looks good, but just didnt blend well with my casual outfit.

Howie · 2 July 2010, 10:11 AM

I still love mine, despite it getting very little wrist time, it's still a very special watch.

bodybump · 2 July 2010, 10:28 AM

.....just beGAUSS!!!

PeteNYC13 · 2 July 2010, 12:15 PM

I desire one!

I was cold on it, then red hot, then warm...now I am heating up again. I love that this is the one Rolex that makes me go in and out of my level of desire!

The Rolexes I own were all love at first sight and have never doubted them, I am having an internal debate if the GV is next or if it's too different - this is the fun of it for me.

If you "Desire" it, it's desirable, if not, who cares what we think.

-Pete
