Milgauss waiting list ?
I visited my local AD this morning and placed my name on their Milgauss waiting list. The salesman said I was about number 40 on the list and estimated a 2 year wait. He told me to forget about the green glass and went on to mention that they will only be getting 2 a year ! Does that sound right ? What kind of waiting times have you heard about .
Thanks ! |

I've heard anywhere from a 1-2 years. And the green crystal are extreamly difficult to come by unless you buy it for premium prices. I've heard as much as $15K. Good luck.

Welcome to TRF!
Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if that is the situation in some countries. Seems like the Milgauss GV could be the successor to the "Daytona craze", at least in the beginning. If you have a good relationship with an AD, you should be able to get one within ½ a year, though.

I posted earlier that Rolex is having issues with the green crystal....it appeared that no one believed me....Well guess what.....They are going to be like Unicorn Shi*.. There will be no new supply until middle of summer. Only GV's available are those that were made in the first production run. They are going to be very expensive.

As I mentioned in a previous post my local AD in the UK wouldn't even put me on a list as they were not expecting to see any GV's and if they get a normal crystal version they my only get one in the next 2 years
I'll have to try in a large city |

Those wait times are ridiculous. The milgauss should be available in the same numbers as the GMTIIC given that they were both released at Basel this year.
