Rolex Milgauss 116400GV is the best Rolex! It has a green sapphire the color of Rolex and has a proud history of being the Rolex for scientists and engineers. A professional tool watch for professionals. A proud history where the 1000 gauss magnetic resistance was one of the first anti-magnetic watches. The 6541 was the official first reference then came the 1019 reference. In the 1960's it lost its iconic lightning bolt seconds hand. It then became discontinued in 1988 and returned to the line up in 2007. This watch will definitely grow on you and may just become your favorite watch.

Love the black dial GV.... it is noticeably thicker so there is a nice wrist presence. The polished center links just makes this a cool looking watch next to the green sapphire. It's so fun to wear, I can't stop looking at it. And when it lumes, the 3, 6, 9 are blue'r and just gives it another dimension. I wish I could wear this out more often but I mostly just pull it out and gaze at it.

I was choosing between “air king”, “black milgauss” and “z blue milgauss”. The black milgauss looked nice but I picked the z blue one at the end as I thought it’s more difficult to get the blue one. It’s growing on me. Looks much better then hyped OP.

Hi there. Did you pick it up this year, or are you referring to a previous event? I am on the list for the z blue but have not heard back yet and I was wondering if anyone has actually received one from an AD this year.

It's crazy how this watch grew on me. I'm going to get one but since I will buy it as my "everyday watch", don't you think that the black dial is the best choice? Don't get me wrong, the blue dial definitely looks fantastic too but it might not be a good fit with all colors of clothes. And since I already have a lot of "colored" watches such as the Hulk, rose gold YM, etc. I think that the black dial is probably the best choice for me. Any recommandation would be greatly appreciated as I'm really scratching my head around to make a choice :)

I'm with you on wishing it was all brushed... or, at least had more brushed surfaces than high polish. I would love to see something new that looks like their earlier milgaus models. However, I've noticed Rolex rarely looks back.. at least they never really do reissues or revivals.. I suppose they always evolve forwards and rarely look back.. I suppose they can get away with that as their designs are so classic and solid, they don't need to really change much if anything. Still, it would be nice to see old designs brought back to modern specs. But, anyways... this is all academic as I know I'm never going to get a Rolex the way they are these days and foreseeable future. Still, fun to discuss and talk about as that's about.

Having owned three Milgauss they all have faults - the Z-Blue you can't read the dial in certain light, the GV the green glass reflects too much and they all scratch very easily. None of them really suitable for a daily wearer which is what I bought them for and the current price of around £8k is daft. Buy a Tudor if you want a decent watch at a sensible price. Buy a Rolex if you want to trade them and make money.
