I doubt it as prices are coming down on the GV as there is more supply coming into circulation.
However, it is a function of supply and demand. If the supply is unable to satisfy demand, then there is a basis for some dealers and re-sellers to place a premium on the GV. That's how I see it as being for the Daytona, supply just isn't enough to satisfy demand, and so retailers and re-sellers are able to sell the Daytona at a premium. ![]()

I also do not think so. Depending on production levels and the length of production it could become a real collectors peice though. The price will depend on how many people want it? and the fact that there is a black and a white dial version will also, in my opinion, mean that a buyer can just take one of them instead.

Like many, it took awhile for ANY Milie to appeal to me. You ain't out of the woods yet !! ![]() ![]() It's pretty nice but I prefer the white one. Have never seen a GV i person. The idea of the green crystal is a pretty good one, but the last thing I needed was another ss watch with a black dial no matter what color crystal it has. |

I have heard that the GV would be the next Daytona but I'd have to say I don't think so. There's to much of a history behind it. But I guess only time will tell.

It's true that it's matter of supply and demand, but C'mon Guys have a look at ebay and see how much they are asking for the GV, i personally went to many rolex AD's in the UAE and Europ and the answer is that same That waiting list of this watch getting bigger and bigger and Guess what some of the salesmen's say nowadays it easier to get the SS Daytona than the GV !!

Let's not forgot the fact that we buy Rolexes and other fine watches because we love them. The status seekers are often late to the party and desire them only because they are hard to get, that might be a pop in the market, but again the trend seems down, not up. If I had a GV that I purchased only to flip it, I'd be acting VERY quickly to move it ASAP. |

Lot of people are looking for the GV to resale it and the profit is more with GV than Daytona,but the profit has been reduced,it start around 18K and you can see it now for 9 and 10 K in ebay,supposing they are real and there is not a scammer selling it.Besides both are watches in current production that at least you have the hope to get it.But what about the gmt master II that they do not do it anymore,what will happen in price increase in a year specially the ones with stick 16710-3186

Here in my country there is NO CHANCE of getting either a Daytona or Milgauss GV at retail.
Heck, even the 116710 is being sold over retail! |

And as for the next Daytona question - NO WAY. There is only one Daytona and it will ALWAYS be the King of Rolex IMO. Now...if only Rolex would be nice enough and put a date window on one I would be an owner in a flash, but until then, it's very unlikely I'll ever buy it. Oh well...somehow I don't think Rolex is sweatin losing Moby33 as a Daytona owner. |

Correct me if im wrong, im not up on history of Rolex very much. I had an AD that said when the Milgauss originally came out they just sat in the case because nobody wanted them. They finally discontinued them and brought them back many years later. If this is true how can the Milgauss possibly compete with the Daytona?

I don't think it will even though the green crystal is very special.
I think the Daytona look appeal to more folks. just MHO.

The tale about the original is truth though. The original one didn't really fit with the rest of the line. it was thick clunky and kinda ugly. AD couldn't give them away, just like everything Rolex though they are now very valuable in the second hand market. The new one is kind of retarded though. The Parachrome HS makes having a milgaus kinda; I dunno, redundant? When the parachrome HS goes to the rest of the line all of them will be impervious to magnetic fields. It is HYPE, only HYPE. |

hi i have just sold a white face milgauss and purchased a GV, personally I thought the white face looks better but in the uk they are hard to get so having one was a must have (a watch manager told me that the gv sold for £12,000 but when i got one he said that they were available this was 5 days later, it was all BS, he says that i would have to spend 20k before i can get a ss daytona), still after a white face daytona and willing to pay over the odds but not a lot around!!, I also have a steel and gold daytona which looks great!

An economist would say that the rapidly downward trending GV price actually does suggest that the watch is becoming less hard to get. This is exactly what we are seeing. Prices are lower because increased supply has decreased demand. Or decreased demand has increased the supply. Either way, the GV does not appear to be as hard to get as it was only a few weeks ago.
The GV Milgauss is a very cool Rolex but it is not going to be like the SS Daytona, just as the GMT II-C did not become like the SS Daytona despite initial speculation. There's only one Rolex like the SS Daytona and it's called the SS Daytona. The Daytona has more of a history than the Milgauss. The demand and scarcity of the SS Daytona have steadily increased over more than a decade. It is clearly not a fad. The big auction house sold a '71 "Albino" Daytona for $505,000 on April 23, 2008. I doubt a Milie has ever sold for much more than a tenth of that number. The Daytona is a legend. With the SS GMT II-C and now with the GV Milgauss and the SDDS we see a short burst of high demand at retail launch followed by a sharp drop in price back towards list price. We have no access to Rolex production numbers, shipments, or AD sales. Anecdotal evidence from one AD who may or may not have an agenda is not objective. The current market prices tell the true story and are the only objective measures of supply and demand. GV prices are down because demand is down. SS Daytona prices have been have been over list for years. Waiting lists for SS Daytonas are years long and that's if you are a good customer. Don't be upset if you are one who paid way over list for your Milgauss. You don't need GV prices to stay high to justify what you paid. You obviously like the GV and didn't want to wait for it. For that you paid extra. It is apparent now, as shown by the big price drops, that those willing to do that were few and they have either gotten their GV or changed their mind. Enjoy your GV and don't worry if it's not the "next Daytona." |
