I wanted to inform any members that are lucky enough to own a GV Milgauss to consider the following.

1. Rolex a not going to produce many of these watches.
2. There are only about 15/20 GV Watches in the UK

The staff at Rolex HQ have stated to me that if you have one of the GV's try not to wear it and leave it as near to unworn as possible, or even better leave it in the ox with all the tags in place.

And Now for the best BIT THESE WATCHES IN THE NEXT 10 YEAR WILL BE WORTH IN EXCESS OF £40000.00 EACH.

SO IF YOU ARE LUCK ENOUGH TO OWN ONE ITS WORTH CONSIDERING..

MARK RUN TO YOUR AD AND PICK IT UP FOR £25,000 EACH NOW! GET THEM WHILE THEY ARE HOT! BIG INCREASE IN 10 YEARS! THIS WILL BE THE HOTTEST INVESTMENT VEHICLE SINCE ENRON! GO GO GO GO!!!

wantonebad · 10 May 2008, 05:30 AM

that's a stretch and a half!!

True the owners are lucky, but not because of future worth, because they can wear it!!

I bet it will be worth a pretty penny in 10 years, but with inflation and cost of living so what...

harvey · 10 May 2008, 05:30 AM

guess this one on ebay might be buying now for £7,990.00 ?!? nah i dont think so!

Rolex UK reckon they are going to be rarer thans hens teeth.... as the saying goes.

I was fortunate to get my GV in Feb this year and it has not even been out if its box. Rolex uK even fitted the 2 extra links to the watch before they sent it to my AD.

marke · 10 May 2008, 05:33 AM

whats the price of an original Milgauss now.... look at what they sold one for at the recent anitquorum auction..... over 100000$'s

Different story, altogether!

The manual wound Cosmographs are also fetching astronomic amounts, but even the current SS Daytona will never reach those prices.

This is a wind-up, right Mark? (I can be a little naive sometimes)

If not, can you please ask the soothsayer at Rolex HQ what a GMT II c will be worth in 20 years? (I've got all the bits & pieces).

Kinda hard to believe the staff at Rolex are recommending that you do not wear one of their watches!

cmcm3 · 10 May 2008, 05:39 AM

If they stopped making them tomorrow I could see that happening. Otherwise I cant see how £40,000 would be likely.

marke · 10 May 2008, 05:47 AM

Please dont shoot the messenger, I am only telling you guys what the RSC staff are saying.

we wil have to wait and see.

Whilst at rolex the engineers were working on a beautiful 6263 daytona and my god it looked fantastic....

GMTcrazy · 10 May 2008, 05:55 AM

I don't think Service center employees know anything about what happens in Geneva.

Or on the resale market

JG99 · 10 May 2008, 05:56 AM

If I could choose a 2nd rolex it would probably be a Milgauss GV. I love the lightning second hand & green crystal, though I've not seen one in the flesh yet.

It seems like I would be priced out though, given the rarity!

ticowa · 10 May 2008, 02:07 PM

I thought there was a guy who worked at Rolex on this site. I wonder what his opinion is or if he has some inside information.

Andad · 10 May 2008, 04:37 PM

Hi Mark,

I hope you are correct.

Lol-x · 10 May 2008, 06:02 PM

I seem to recall a similar story being told about the Sub LV the first couple of years that was in production too.

dopeymuppet · 10 May 2008, 07:33 PM

I'm sure that there are more than 20 in the UK.....I know 2 people who have them so that would mean I know a tenth of the owners....not sure about that one!

marke · 10 May 2008, 07:33 PM

We will have to wait and see about the GV the demand for this watch according to my contact at rolex is outrageous and even in the UK they reckon the waiting lists in some areas are already 5/7 years.

My contact reckons the GV will become as sought after as the steel daytona and the new deep sea will be in the same boat.

mark

mic6 · 10 May 2008, 07:36 PM

i have seen with my eyes at least 10 GVs sold in my city only
i don't believe any of the rumors
my opinion is that it will remain a hard to get model just like the ss daytona a few years ago

Trurolexer · 10 May 2008, 07:46 PM

Thani is SO A LUCKY GUY!!! He have one...

Jimbits76 · 10 May 2008, 11:28 PM

New MG GV grey market 8000 pound plus!!!!!!

I'd rather ask my IFA buddy to invest it for me.

I sure with a decent medium to high risk unit trust fund...in ten years time it'll be worth more than a MG GV.

But you cry....if you had the watch you would have the pelasure of it....Not if it is sat in a safe with all the stickers still on it.

If only 20-25 GV in whole world then I'd believe the forecast...as it stands, I'd rather invest my money on the markets and spend the rest on a watch that I could enjoy....like a Pepsi...*Drool.

Buy a watch to wear and enjoy!

I sold them that watch :)

They are not as hard to get hold of as people think. I was sold one by an AD that I have never visited in the past.
