Its an under appreciated model. Once Rolex stop making it people would want it.
Sub and gmt holds value better but if you like the Milgaus I highly recommend to get it.
I have one and I enjoy wearing it more than my SS daytona and hulk. Check out Federico in YouTube. He talked about the white milgauss that is now appreciating in value since it was discontinued.

I see them in the cases at ADs fairly often. I think they are fairly easy to obtain. You can source them brand new from grey dealers for 10-15% less than MSRP.

The Milgauss is a great Rolex. Totally under appreciated, but a really cool watch

I love my ZBlue and have had nearly every piece in the line up. Hefty but not heavy. Works as well at work as on the weekend. And that chameleon of a dial has to be seen to be fully appreciated.

I think this going to be the next popular piece- I’m thinking about one as well. It’s also easy to obtain... for now.

It's not too hard to find the Milgauss at an AD. They hold their value decently, but not as well as the the Sub or GMT. Regardless, if you get one ad a decent price it's a fantastic watch.

Fantastic piece , the blue is in higher demand the than the other Milgauss models , but not the frenzy the submariner demands.

I just bought my son a blue for a college grad gift. I found a store that lost its Rolex dealership, $7500 cash out the door.

Huge Milgauss fan here. I own the white version and absolutely love it. My brother is on the hunt for black (clear crystal) or a Z Blue. Either way I think it's the most underrated watch in the Rolex catalog.

Perfect size at 40mm. Great thickness; thicker than a DJ, but not too thick. The proper size crown. I think they'll be coveted down the road.
