Milgauss GV - Aftermarket Band Recommendations?
Gang,
Became the proud owner of a Milgauss GV this week; quite happy with the purchase, and take pride in owning a piece like this that strays a bit from the 'traditional'. Speaking of straying from traditional.... Any recommendations for bands to purchase that will fit/accent the Milgauss GV? I'm open to any thoughts, and uninformed on this particular topic. Glad to be here! |

An olive Maratac NATO would look pretty cool methinks.
Also, a nice leather Toshi in saddle with green stitching would be a killer combination too.

I think the bracelet it came with is the one to stick with. I just don't get leather straps on Rolexes. Each to their own.
Good purchase btw. |

I am a big fan of the Oyster bracelet.
So I would always stick with the SS but I would take a look at some Maratac NATOs if you're definately set on a strap. They offer a wide variety of straps and colors.
Congrats on the GV! I love that watch!

White Millie looks good in the picture but notice how the case and hands are darker than regular polish chrome.
It's just the picture. I think it wouldn't look as nice in real flesh. |

I have done a couple of things since I have gotten my milgauss. The NATO strap and a bright orange alligator strap. Keep in mind that I am a little strange so this maybe a little too weird for most ppl.

A dark brown leather strap goes well with the earth-tones of the GV. An added plus will be better fit and less weight, and being less prone to rotating to the lateral side of the wrist. The SS w/ PCLs is #1, but a brown leather is a close #2 IMHO.
