milgauss gv

Any differences beside the font of the earlier milgauss gv and the latest? The earlier milgauss gv had a more compact "oyster perpetual" print than the latest.

Yes, you can see the differences on the rolex.com milgauss page. See the top and bottom of the page of the e.brochure.

Just curious if the green sapphire is of the same quality as the other? And, if it makes any difference in the green glow. Thanks..

You don't notice the green so much from the front, but sideways it lights up in the sunlight into a kind of halo. Its really striking. Quality not an issue.

Green sapphire makes a great addition to the GV. Really is striking in the light...

I think the green halo effect is such an awesome feature.

There is no difference between 2007 and later models except for the font spacing on the dial. Oh, and that people paid, and ADs charged, about double the list price in 2007, as they thought it would be limited edition. That one didn't work out for investors.

I really like the GV but have a question for owners, does the slight green tinted haze?

Yes, it does seem slightly hazy to me on some examples. Not sure whether this is the result of lighting variations or that perhaps the latest examples are better. I have not had the opportunity to do side by side comparisons.

Yes, it can have that effect in some lighting or when compared directly to a regular crystal.
