A new vintage inspired milgauss would be a great update. It's hard to get too excited since most of these new models won't be obtainable anyway...

Milgauss might actually be attainable. Not a popular model.

They've been promoting the Milgauss like crazy on their social media account. My guess would be we're about to see a new reference for 2019 or it's time to say good bye...

I've been noticing all the Instagram posts too and I tend to agree with OP. They've been pushing it so hard that there has to be *some* rationale behind it. My money is on an update (not discontinuation) with design cues that look back to the 6541 reference.

Whatever they do, I hope they keep it different so it doesn't look like just another Sub or DJ.

Looks like Rolexpassionreport has cottoned on to the same thought!

I ran some models and based on the shadow tilt angle, I am betting it has a date window.

Curious what you mean; are you talking about the original Milgauss or the later issued ones? The Milgauss, as far as I know, was a technologist's watch for those involved in work with high magnetic fields.

You’ll get a milgauss with a red tip straight hand and that’s it no major changes are coming they never do every year same thing lol

I think Rolex likes to do this to confuse folks such as yourself.

Personally I think it would be pretty embarrassing if Rolex releases a new Milgauss that differs only in design aesthetic. Compare to its competitors, it is an outdated watch, tech-wise, with respect to its initial tool purpose. So unless they release a new version with a new movement containing new antimagnetic tech allowing it to lose the faraday cage and make the watch slimmer , then I think it would be a waste.

Check this out. An homage to the 1019, one of my favorite vintage pieces. I think the modern version would be fantastic. I'm a one watch guy looking at getting a second. If the Monochrome version is correct, I'd get one (assuming I could, which is a big assumption these days--even for a Rolex model that isn't that popular) and look to a third watch. 1019s run for $20k plus. A modern version with all the best of Rolex for $8k would be a bargain!

Well, probably discontinuing AK this year or next, as they deplete the cases for both models. They are probably running out of Explorer WG 3-6-9 too.

Pretty happy I got my hands on a Brand new milgauss in white before the current design becomes discontinued (possibly)
