I just bought the daytona yesterday and my dealer is tempting me to purchase the milgauss for 8000 dollars. I had already set my mind on the green saphire one (not the watch he is currently selling) but here it is now in my face. Is the only difference the saphire crystal? How much more is it? Should I wait for the green one (could be a long time?)

If you really like the green crystal one, then wait for it. No point in "forcing" yourself to pick up this one and then have regrets later on.

Apart from the green crystal, the dial is also different in as much as it has orange 3, 6 and 9 markers.

Another interesting difference is that the green "GV" (Glace Verte) crystal does not have any LEC (Laser Etched Coronet) at 6 o' clock like any other current Rolex watches do.

As stated, if you really like the Milgauss GV, better wait for it instead of going for the "ordinary" one you were offered.

I personally would wait for the Green. It's only $375 more than the clear crystal, but much more stunning IMO. The white dial is also a looker IMO, and I like it better than the black dial. (My

Is 8,000 shekels the list price in Israel? I don't know what the exchange rate is right now but you might be able to get it cheaper ion another country?

Rodima · 27 March 2008, 03:41 AM

Just my

Wait !!! I had the same with my Submariner LV and now i just bought it a couple off days ago under the European listprice this will be the same with the Milgauss GV when Rolex will bring more off them on the market. In the Netherlands you see this happen with the white and black dials and the asking price is now going under the listprice this is done by resallers and not when you buy it at the AD they still say they dont get them enough

I know that I can get it at MSRP plus tax but I dont know if that is more than the conversion price or not, and I have seen one at just about every dealer I have been to around here.

If you have "Set your heart" on the green crystal, then you should wait, you would be forever looking at this one and in your heart think of it as second best against the green crystal.

Art 1 · 27 March 2008, 08:53 AM

Sure, why not.

Defiancekofb · 27 March 2008, 08:57 AM

$8,000 shekel's would be about $2,200 USD. So I think he means $8,000 USD.

Beef · 27 March 2008, 10:27 AM

Wait on the GV!

If that's so than he's charging you $1,800 over list plus/minus tax, you can get a better price elsewhere.

I've seen the three versions of the Milgauss in person, and while I didn't understand the hype over the GV having just seen pictures, I TOTALLY understand the hype now that I've seen it in person. It's stunning, and it looks like nothing else being sold. I like the Milgauss Black, I sort of like the white, but the GV is tremendous, if you have a shot to get it then do, don't settle. JMHO

But isn't European / Middle East pricing somewhat more pricey than US List prices?

You tell us.

Don't mean to sound like a smart a$$ but you are the only one who really knows. Good luck and keep us posted.

Congrats on the Daytona.

If you really like the GV then wait for it.

I love the look of the White Face Milgauss personally.

Trurolexer · 27 March 2008, 04:11 PM

WAIT FOR GV!!! The only interested thing in Milgauss to me is the green glass.
