Does anyone, anymore cares.... to buy a Milgauss GV..?
Seems to me, that this watch is dead and buried for good...

tifosi · 29 April 2009, 05:36 AM

I wouldn't mind having one...but it's not something that I HAVE TO have. I'd take a regular Milgauss just the same.

DAVIDSW · 29 April 2009, 05:37 AM

I personally think the 116400GV is a great looking watch on the wrist... There is still a demand for them IMHO as many AD's that I know have been selling them consistently at 5% off or Retail..

The speculators that drove the price up in the first place are gone and now it is available for purchase a lot easier than before for prospective buyers..

IMHO I do believe that there will be a dry spell as Rolex cuts production and in the long run it will be a good watch to own.....

Best Regards

Nice watch,but yes,losing appeal and interest so fast....
I like it,but I would never ever buy it....not even at 50% of the price.

Rambam · 29 April 2009, 05:43 AM

I tried on a regular Black Milgauss a few weeks back and I really liked it. I wouldent mind owning a GV as I like the green sapphire, but Im not obsessed by it by any means.

rescue7 · 29 April 2009, 05:43 AM

Yasou Tasos, I think the supply has caught up to the market demand.

Are you getting many requests from buyers, you do have the best prices around.

diablojota · 29 April 2009, 05:45 AM

I wouldn't mind owning one, but I have mixed feelings toward the watch. No date, con. Bigger case, pro. The only thing is that when I really look closely at the dial it looks so much cheaper than some of the other Rolex models (e.g., Sub, GMT, etc.). It just seems to be more plasticy in looks. Just my perspective. If the price was right, I'd probably buy one.

rajurama · 29 April 2009, 05:46 AM

I would love it if it comes with a DATE!

Z-Sub · 29 April 2009, 05:47 AM

If I don't have one yet I would pick one up now

rkot07 · 29 April 2009, 06:11 AM

Not the next watch on my 'to get' list but it is nice and if I came across one at a price too good to pass up I would pick it up.

Randy · 29 April 2009, 06:22 AM

GV still in demand, it's the economy A. Most AD's in short supply.

Welshwatchman · 29 April 2009, 06:25 AM

The hype was all very silly, tall tales of "production difficulties" and all that, daft $15,000 / £8,000 prices.

Nevertheless it is the nicest Rolex in the entire range IMO and providing you got it for a very keen price I think it will pay it's own way in the long term.

If ever I sell my collection my nicely discounted GV will be the last one to go.

Art 1 · 29 April 2009, 06:26 AM

I saw one going for 6k, not many people want a watch with a green glass.

bardm · 29 April 2009, 06:27 AM

If I was to get a Milgaus it would be a GV. I think the green chrystal is cool. But I prefer other models. Probably would buy a DJ before a Milgaus.

RolexCat · 29 April 2009, 06:42 AM

I tryed one on yesterday at my AD. He had a white and black dial along with the GV. The GV jumped more out with the green tint, very nice. He had it at the same price as a SD he also just got in, M ser# i checked Lol. I really like it, but given the choice, my SD would have been first to buy for me. He also got in a SDDS, i tryed that on, wow, thats a big watch. Lol Ron

Timber Loftis · 29 April 2009, 06:45 AM

I like the green tint. I even like the Shazaam Hand!! I just can't wear one without a date feature.

flyback · 29 April 2009, 06:45 AM

I think the GV is spectacular. One of the most striking and handsome variations on the Oyster theme to come from Rolex in decades.

While still readily identifiable as a Rolex, the watch is set apart from the rest of the range by its anti-magnetic innards, lightning-bolt second hand and of course those beautiful colors: the deep orange details that perfectly complement the paler orange sticks at 3, 6 and 9, and of course the famous green Coke-bottle crystal.

I think the only other new design that pulls off such a successful harmony of novelty and tradition is the GMT IIc.

ippon20 · 29 April 2009, 06:51 AM

Call me crazy, but I prefer the white dial.

If they drop the Milgauss the white will definitely be the sleeper!!

The Second · 29 April 2009, 07:46 AM

I like the white dial more than the GV

rolex_addict · 29 April 2009, 08:13 AM

i'm not a milgauss fan; can't wait to see the updated sub next april!!!

Yeah, I think the economy has put a hit on most every reference.

GMTJOHNNY · 29 April 2009, 08:30 AM

Green Glass crystal has me worried on long term availability. I love the watch though.

G M · 29 April 2009, 09:07 AM

I love it! But for its price, there are two or three other watches that I would buy first. If it was consistently around 5K, Id really consider making it my next watch. The Orange looks awesome, but I cant see it wearing it with everything.

housemad · 29 April 2009, 09:20 AM

Great watch...will trade my LV for the GV anytime!!!

You have one for sale...but for the same price you ask...I could get it from my local AD!!!

vzmax · 4 July 2009, 01:17 PM

GV is one of my favorites..

thecoinopcollector · 4 July 2009, 01:31 PM

Said it before but will say it again here, I love the GV and the white. Don't much care for the black. That said I think in 20 years all three will be hard to find and desireable but that the GV will always command a premium. The Milgauss has never been and never will be a high number production watch for Rolex (probably the lowest production of all SS sport models ) and of all 3 the GV is certain to remain the least common because of it's unique crystal.

Singslinger · 4 July 2009, 01:45 PM

I can't understand why a watch would be dead and buried just because prices have fallen to realistic levels and it's now (supposedly) more readily available than before. By that logic, Datejusts, Air Kings, gold Daytonas, gold Yachtmasters and the dozens of Rolexes always on display in AD showcases should also be dead and buried.
