A hidden gem in the Rolex catalog, The Rolex Milgauss is most definitely one of, if not the most underrated watch available. I wanted to find a location that lets the beauty and unique features of this watch shine through its green crystal. The Rolex Milgauss isn’t for everyone, but it’s a watch we can all appreciate. I hope you enjoy!

I really enjoy the Black Milgauss with the green crystal. I use my Milgauss in a military laboratory setting and visually it is easy to tell time because the green crystal blocks harsh light well. I essentially use it like people use the Explorer 1. I use it in field lab settings, traditional lab settings, as well as a daily wearing piece. The watch is just understated enough in black and green that unless you know about the watch it can stay under the radar to most people and yet still be special.

My Milgauss was my 30th birthday watch like your Pepsi GMT was for you. I wanted this watch for about 6 years before buying it and it's an absolute keeper. 4 years with it now and I've never once considered selling it. Yes it's thick on paper, and I really dislike unnecessarily thick watches, but for some reason I don't get that feeling with this watch. It sits prefectly and so comfortably on my wrist. Anyway, really enjoyed the video. It made me a subscriber. Thanks for making it!

Milgauss is one of kind. What a great watch to commemorate your 30th. I agree, the Milgauss doesn’t wear thick at all. I think people think it’s thick because it is compared to other Rolexes. I believe it’s only just over 13mm thick. When compared to other brands, it’s pretty standard, and with those lovely curves of the case it wears nice 👌🏼

I have this watch. It is magical and, yes, better than the Z Blue because of the contrast with the glass. Don’t think they will discontinue it. The green glass gives them bragging rights.
@ChristopherNegroni
@ChristopherNegroni Жыл бұрын
I could see it getting discontinued for sure, only because the concept of a “Milgauss” doesn’t make sense anymore when all their movements have higher resistance to magnetism with the modern materials they use. But I could also see them blowing everyone out of the water and updating it to be completely resistant to magnetism somehow 🤷🏽‍♂️ who knows, realistically if it’s updated they will do the lazy, easy thing and update the movement to the same one as the new airking and same case and simply polish the mid links, meh.

I really don’t want to see them do that. I love the case shape of the Milgauss. I’d be happy if they updated the movement, kept the design, maybe refined a few things on the dial. A slimmer even a mm smaller version would be perfect. The air king case is just like the sub and the gmt we don’t need more of that.

@ChristopherNegroni
@ChristopherNegroni Жыл бұрын
It’s easy to love the Z-Blue right? Blue dials are always loved. And the shade of Blue on the Z-blue is particularly lovely, a little lighter, has depth with the sunburst finish. But the subtle nature of the matte black dial compliments it’s quirky features much better 👌🏼

How do you feel about the discontinued AirKing 116900? Similar movement different look. Really love how light plays on the applied 3,6,9 white gold markers! The pops of green and yellow crown is also a unique look IMO. Much to love. Underrated as well!

I’ll be honest I don’t love the air king. Never have. The whole design seems like it doesn’t quite flow. The project blood hound was a miserable fail so the story isn’t good. But that’s just me. I know some people absolutely love the Air king old and new and that’s fine. There’s a Rolex for everyone.

@@ChristopherNegroni Thanks for your honest opinion, bro! I’m also not a fan of the story relating to the failed racing project behind this AirKing. Initially I was also not a fan of how busy the dial looks. But overtime the dial, unique color combination and the robustness of having features of both Explorer and Milagaus grew on me. Was even SO CLOSE to selling this watch multiple times but then I remembered why I purchase it in the first place. I work in the Emergency Room so having the 5-second minute markers was a very practical thing for me to have when monitoring my patients Vital Signs (Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, etc). Must say, the way the fluorescent light plays with the dial at the job house makes it a pleasure to sight to see on- wrist which is a great feeling thus far lol. Proud to have designated this AirKing as my Work Watch. 🤟 yeee!

@@Mannie-Jay that makes perfect sense. It is a very legible watch with the mixtures of markings.

@ChristopherNegroni
@ChristopherNegroni Жыл бұрын
I’m actually a huge fan of the 321. But a few reasons: 1. I like the Daytona design more, hype aside. 2. Water resistance. 3 price and availability. Omega wants to price it slightly higher than a Daytona and also play the “waiting game”. I think it would be amazing to have both in a collection 😎
