So why no love for the Milgauss??
Why is there no love for this beautiful combination of colors?? Deffinently my next rolex buy. I've been waiting for them to change the dial option and put some more color in this watch other then black and white.

It's very attractive. Sadly it will be in the 8500$ plus.
In a few years, you will be lucky to find a SS sub for less than 10000$. Insane! |

I love the Milgauss in general...but I'm going to have to see this one in person before I decide between this and the previous GV. I don't think it looks bad in the photos, but I'd like to see it on the wrist in natural lighting

If it had the orange 3/6/9 markers, I'd like it more. But I do like it.

From the threads of yesterday, there seemed to be many who like it? Anyway, it's a Milgauss, so, it's never going to be "popular", but that's a good thing in my book, and, ultimately, only the buyer has to like it.

Blue and green does work...but I think black and green works better.
Still, I'd have to see it on my wrist first. |

It looks "weird" to my eye right now. Maybe it needs getting used to it.

What happens to old GV? Will the new coloured model replace it?

I love it, I only wish that the others who like this watch would stop with "why no love for milgauss" topics. Its not for everybody and for me that is a plus. I don't need approval from others to buy a watch I like.

Think it looks sharp in the photos, not sure how it will fare in real life. Clearly that old phrase, "Blue and green should never be seen except upon an Irish queen" has passed the Rolex design team by. . .

I do think the blue does clash with the green somewhat.
In time it may grow on me but I won't be rushing to buy it. Much prefer the original GV. |

I don't get the question. Looked like lots of love yesterday.
I personally mentioned it about 5 times. Seemed like quite a few others too. Even one it two threads specific to this watch. I think lots of love for it.

Some people donīt like the "toyish/boyish" bolted second hand.

I love it. I think it's the sleeper highlight of Basel for Rolex.

This version is made for a limited target audience ... Mets fans. Don't like it.

For me, it's the second hand that I can't stand. I do like the blue dial with the green crystal though.

NOW i finally remember why this new dial reminded me of something.....my very own Swatch! the "electric turquoise" kind of matches the GV's new electric blue + green crystal.
