Who bought a Milgauss GV.....
and did not like it and got rid of it? And why did you not like it?
Ready to pull the trigger on one so I am curious. Thanks Eric

I wouldn't say I didn't like it, but it was a little thick :)

I owned one years ago and it was not for me. It's a nice watch but the second hand bugged me and for the money, there were other watches that I would rather own.

Owned one for a few weeks. It wasn't for me. It felt unbalanced on my wrist.

I had one - didn't like the polished center links - brush them if you get one and it gave me a rash due to the high nickel content

Bought it loved it and sad to say flipped it towards a daytona, which has since been flipped.
I would have one again but not at the expense of one of my current watches.

I have a white dial Milgauss and may one day buy a GV secondhand (yea, I made that pun). It's a cool watch but it never smiled at me the way the white dial version did.

Had one for about a year. I think that this watch rather depends on your lifestyle. If you are a more formal, white collar type fella - then this watch is without peers for many reasons. Personally for my northern country lifestyle it was too flashy and perhaps a tad heavy on the wrist. I also had a minor issue with the green crystal. As well the lumen is less than ideal. It was extremely comfy on the wrist and exceptionally accurate.

I don't wear mine much; the other Rolexes I own get more wrist time. I wear scrubs at the office and no watch but if I put on a coat and tie, GV for sure. I also wear it with orange shirts!

Had one, it was "neat".
I got bored of it and sold it. Very comfortable watch but no date was a negative And after a while the second hand and green crystal got boring.

I've owned watches in all ranges, not just Rolex. Guess which gets vast majority of wrist time? Yep, the GV. Quite possibly, the perfect watch.

Bought it and sold it within 3 weeks... Cannot put my finger on it but it just was not me. It wears very comfy IMO I just did not care for it. I prefer something sportier and this was an over sized DJ if I can get away with saying that and not get banned

I still like mine, so no I'm not one of the ones who flipped it. To each his or her own I suppose. Personally, I think it is a very unique and stunning watch.
