I love this watch. The green sapphire works so well with the colours of the dial. The case and bracelet are beautifully finished. I'd have one in a heartbeat. Tim's presentation is as always flawless.
My favourite watch in my collection. So comfortable to wear, and so different. Don't see many around, and if discontinued, the price will go through the roof. Love the Milguass especially this black dial version.

@@acquired.archives every year rolex bring out new models, and every year they retire some from the catalogue. The last 3 years the Milguass has been rumoured to be retired. But it still lives on for another year yet.
@@ashjohnson7165 won't retire, most propably it will just get updated with the 32 series movement. (like the sub,gmt, explorer, etc). I have a feeling that the milgauss is more popular than sky dweller and the air king , they won't kill the line just like that.
I never bothered much looking at the Milgauss in detail, but your review made me like it a lot. Especially this particular one. Love the two-colour lume shot and that green hue-like aestetic around the bezel area. Edit: And that seconds hand is cool too.
Wow, amazing looking watch. Such an interesting green crystal and lightning rod hand that surprisingly, makes the dated watch look futuristic and innovative
I seriously love this watch. It's such a fun piece from an otherwise conservative brand. Going to a few AD's this weekend to see if I can find one, but I know I'm just going to find TT Datejusts and Cellinis (sigh).
I’ve always thought the Yacht Master 40 with the dark rhodium dial was my favorite Rolex. But I saw one of these in the window of my local Rolex AD the other day and it really attracted my attention...a change maybe coming 🤔
@anonymous human I have dedicated it as my dress watch when I go on occassions (whenever that happens again lol) besides my soon incoming Daytona. To me anyways, it just suits nicer as a dresser than a casual. For casual, I have my Breitling and AP. What are your 10 Rolexes? Sounds like some are the same model, just different materials?
The watch is an anachronism. It doesn't really serve a purpose now that all of Rolex's--and Omega's--sport watches are amagnetic. It should be discontinued. Time for Rolex to come up with a new, totally different watch for people who like "quirky."
It’s hard to make a case for the Milgauss over the other Rolex models in the same list price range. Not as useful as a GMT or Explorer 2; not as rugged as a Submariner; not as dressy as a Datejust; not as “clean” as the date-less Oyster Perpetual. Given a choice of Rolexes between $6k and $10k, who picks the Milgauss and why? No matter what you are looking for (other than a lightning bolt second hand), there’s a better option in the catalog.
@@DavidDatura True. Something about that green seems very mid oughts to me. That of course raises the concern that the blue will seem very 2020's in ten years. : )
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Don't get me wrong, as a owner of Iwc pilot's watches, I love a dated look when it's done right. But this looks to me like it belongs in the worst part of the 80's at best🤷♂️.
The Black and Green and hint of Orange play so beautifully together.
Future classic for sure. Has all the makings.

I have seen many of the blue but very few of the black. Great watch
I just purchased one. Where did you hear that they will be discontinued? :O

I agree .... A nice looking watch from Rolex .... The raised watch glass in green finishes off its nice aesthetics ....
Love this watch
Extremely unique
With a lot of style
Only certain will understand this watch
Certain people
The lume is gorgeous !

The best rolex for me.
I love this watch!!!!
I’m not a Rolex fan but this model is pretty cool.

@anonymous human I have the YM 40 in blue dial too. I also thought it was way more special than the Sub or GMT. I love it.

People are going to miss this when it’s discontinued
Is it going to be discontinued?

@@highnrising They should make a zero-g watch for Space-X. If they could get Elon Musk to wear one/endorse it it would explode.
Meh.. Rolex or not, it's an ugly watch.
@@Angry_Gnome < Because you don’t have style
Are those locks on the bracelet good will they ever pop out on its own???

Because it’s unique
The average person won’t wear this watch
More of style type of person will wear this watch
That’s exactly why
I love it
The one Rolex I just can't get into.
I don't know why but he MIlgauss looks dated compared to the other Rolex offerings.
There are Rolex offerings that doesn't look dated??!!😮
@@marvinberwart Good point. I guess what I mean is that this doesn't even look "Classic". I guess it's because this iteration was introduced in 2007.
The Z-Blue variant doesn’t.
