IDGuy, you are my favorite watch reviewer. There is only good information and no added BS. This is the best video I have ever seen on the Milgauss. Thank you for posting and keep up the excellent work!
I got the green sapphire glass/Black dial Milgauss. It's totally comfortable and the dial size is perfect. It looks so simple and at the same time it pleases your eyes with it's pure beauty. Only death will part us. Thank you for your video.
One aspect that’s not visible in most photos of the Milgauss is that the green crystal can sometimes dominate its appearance: many photos make it appear as though the green is barely visible over the entire crystal. Though the green is most visible around the circumference, and is very pleasing, it’s not always welcomed under some lighting conditions on the face of the watch.
Thats actually the only gripe that I have with this piece. I own a Black GV that I purchased New a month ago and wish the glass was as clear as my old Omega Planet Ocean. Omega uses IR Coatings on their crystals so the watch face is legible in most lighting conditions.
Interesting. I like the green sapphire look, but think it contrasts horribly with the other colors on the dial. I'd be more interested with that green sapphire on a matte white dial.
This watch is me. Everything I want from the prestige of a Rolex. But different enough to have a pop of flare. And it represents people that are more into technology than luxury or business.
I looked at this watch today as my first piece from Rolex so I came to TH-cam to get reviews and feedback. Im an artist (photography), and a technical engineer and this watch spoke to me; as if it was calling me. I was born in the 70’s and I would say I’m a rebel that loves to go against the grain. I agree with you design is suppose to challenge the norm, which is, in my opinion, the foundation of art and design. I love this watch and it will be my first piece from Rolex. Thanks for the amazing review!
Very nice! The Milgauss essentially got me into the watch game. The name, the colours, that overall weirdness let me forget that it is a Rolex in the first place. Now, I think it's one of the most interesting watches in any lineup of any brand.
The only rolex i own. I find it exhilarating. With a small dial for the perfect fit look. And the green pop has proved to be a conversation piece more often than not. Although some people dont like the lightening seconds hand, i love it. As said slightly playful and just extraordinary dial overall. The green sapphire is almost a homage to rolex and its green colour itself. I find myself looking at the time more amd more as im obsessed by the look.
A few things: 1. Genta didn't design the Ingenieur. It was originally a standard looking affair until it got a new design by Genta in 1976. 2. A Milgauss does not have a Faraday cage, it has a soft iron shield. This is an important distinction because while a soft iron shield protects the movement from magnetic fields, it grants absolutely NO protection from electrical fields. There has never been a magnetic field strong enough to kill someone on Earth but, if you were strick by lightning, you would have a better chance of surviving than the Milgauss on your wrist.
"Polarizing but that is the essence of magnetism"... bravo, good sir. I have the z-blue Milgauss, and I love it... easily my favorite watch. Luxury with a wink.
Watching this video has just magnetically drawn me to my beautiful Z-blue Milgauss and made me put it on my wrist. What a watch! Definitely one of my favourites. Rolex definitely left their conservative comfort zone and were a little adventurous with the design of the Milgauss. Yet another great video my phriend. Keep them coming. ✊
The Best Video about this truly Unique Watch I have seen! I think Historically and Design wise the Milgauss especially the Z Blue is one oft the Most Special watches ever made.
👍’s up for your review. In the last 4 years I’ve focused on the ‘hard to get’ current Rolex steel Professional models. I’ve always liked the Milgauss white dial and viewed many TH-cam reviews/monitored the pre-owned market looking for the right example to add to my collection. I’ve just purchased a 2008 unworn, stickered, box/papers+original receipt that was kept in a safe by the original purchaser - an absolute beauty for🇬🇧£8,200🤩
This is a great looking Rolex-love everything about it: the rectangular indices, the pops of color on the sapphire and dial, that kick-ass lightning bolt sweeping around the face; but the best thing about the watch is what it’s missing: a nausea-inducing Mercedes hood ornament. Great video!
The z-blue one of my fav Rolexes... instantly recognizable.. had the checkout guy at a Switzerland airport compliment me on the watch, and he was wearing the black Milgauss as well :)
Milgauss is probably the only Rolex I enjoy as it shows what they can do when they step a little outside their otherwise stern design language and allow a little whimsy.
kallen saczkowski Yes. I like the North Flag for that same reason. I’m not sure if I think the watch is appealing on the whole to me yet, but I do like that aspect.
The Milgauss was my grail Rolex for quite some time. It works great for men and women alike. In the end the Explorer I won my heart and that became the one Rolex in my collection. The Milgauss still has a special place in my heart!
I own the Z-Blue. I have had it two years this month. Blue is my favourite colour (matches my eyes), and it had been on my radar; though when I began seriously shopping for my first Rolex, I thought I was going to get myself a classic Datejust in 36mm. After having worn a 42mm Speedmaster for some years though, it seemed minuscule by comparison when trying them in the boutique, and there was something a little off about the 41mm variants The modern Submariner was out. Its reinforced, modern lugs destroyed its former symmetry, and going after a vintage piece with its tinny bracelet and clasp would probably have not only cost more, but would have felt a compromise -- to say nothing of the risks involved. So no, for my first Rolex my eye gravitated towards the simplicity of the Milgauss line. Any why not? It's the ideal size at 40mm. It lacks bulky crown guards and is subtle on the wrist. And what's more, its fit and finish (and price) puts it a cut above the plane Jane Oyster Perpetual, Air King, and dare I say, Explorer. I had my choice of the white, black and blue Milgauss models then, and I tried them all. I ruled the white out instantly. It was bland. The "black," so-called, combined with the green crystal, well...against my pale skin, the colour was simply "incorrect." In combination, it looked "olive," and my ancestry is not of the Mediterranean. No, for me it was the Z-Blue. It was "correct." I had no idea that people were so opinionated about this model until after purchasing, but that doesn't bother me. I like the people who praise my watch, and I enjoy the people who dislike it also. I don't say that because I purchased it as an "investment piece" or anything; I simply purchased the watch that was perfect for me, and in twenty years' time when it's been long-since-discontinued, I am very confident that the detractors will have changed their tune. I know I chose well. A few months ago I was in that same Rolex boutique, just having a look around. The salesman remembered me and said, "You know, that young guy back there who's just leaving was looking for your exact watch! The Z-Blue! I had to say sorry, but we haven't seen that in the shop for oh, close to a year now."
I could hear you talk about dried turds and be interested.. You have a very eloquent manner of talking and very good descriptions .. Sometimes the best channels don't always have the highest sub count.
When I am comparing Rolex watches I don't really like most of the standard, less expensive (comparatively) ones as they are kinda blah, and the ones I do love are generally too pricey for me like the Hulk and the Daytone. The Z-blue is an absolutely gorgeous watch to me, not just for Rolex but for any brand. And it's price currently doesn't make it a pipe dream to me, but I do hope to get one before prices get too crazy
The Z-Blue version needs strong natural sunlight to come fully to life. Much less than the blue and the orange, the orange being much less noticeable in real life, is the interplay of the green crystal and the mesmerising blue dial. Aqua marine reminiscent of an Australian coast on a hot Summers day. The play of light from the blue sunray dial with the green glinting as you angle the dial is really striking and holds your attention. So much so you never seem to notice the time, much less the orange accents. This dial can produce the entire blue colour palette with ambient light through to strong sunlight in a way no other blue dial can. The green is the same hue as the wonderful Rolex corporate glass that you see in AD boutiques. It’s very much an assault on the senses but in a good way, very much the antithesis of the sober black and brushed steel sub, so much so they seem from different manufacturers. One flies under the radar, the other over the rainbow.
Kind sir, thank you very much for saving me 10 min ... No pun intended ..... 😎 Thank you very much for your review. I only just discovered the Milgauss yesterday and immediately fell in love with it. Even after recovering from the price shock (and those where only the second hand prices) i still fell in love with it. I love the black dial with the green Safire, but it was the blue dial with the green Safire, that pulled me in. I then thought, if i was able to buy the blue face, will i still adore it years down the line ? I was afraid that i might get bored with it. However, after your review and feelings on the blue with green Safire, my worries immediately turned into excitement. It really is a very beautiful watch and most certainly is something different, and i like different. I really do not like to have something (or want something) that is a diamond dozen. But, as with all truly unique items, it does come with a serious price tag, which puts me again in the connoisseur group. Thank you again.
Speaking of “storytelling”…….not to stroke you ego, this is outstanding work here. Bravo. 👏 3 Thumbs up😂. I’ll get back to you. I would buy 3 Black dial/Green crystal(1 to invest in the safe, 1 to wear weekly & 1 to gift to my best friend). I would also buy 1 blue dial as the colors are so absolutely ridiculous they reach the point of high art. I would wear the blue one every week. 👍&Sub’d.
“Cosmograph” is undoubtedly one of the best names ever used for a watch. Sad to see how easily it is overlooked because of the “Daytona” that follows it.
What a top video. Can I ask do you prefer the Milgauss or the Explorer? I’d probably opt for the Explorer. If the Z Blue had a all brushed bracelet it would almost be perfect.
I have a Sea Dweller 43 50th and the Milgauss Z Blue. Only watch people ever compliment my Dweller but the Milgauss gets compliments from people that know nothing about watches. It's definitely a lifetime piece in my collection
I agree. I own a beautiful Grand Seiko. To me the most beautiful watch i have ever touched. Then i own a z-blue milgauss and a Casio CFX-200 (1000 Dollars for an old calculator-watch...😅). I get the most compliments for my Casio by far, followed by the milgauss. On the other hand there hasn't been a single person out there that ever made a comment about my GS. Such a shame because i love it as much as the other two
I love this piece and am considering buying it but I feel it’s a shame they didn’t use AR coating at the time it was built. The dilution of colour on the dial by reflection is an unwanted dimension! Excellent video, as always 😉👍
No offense to owners, but the lightning bolt seconds hand turns me off. Looks silly to me. Otherwise, the watch is nice, especially because of its nice variety of colors.
I love the Milgauss Z-Blue, but wish Rolex would have offered the green crystal on the now-discontinued white dialed Milgauss. Would have been an interesting effect, presumably more so than the green crystal on black or blue dials.
I agree. Owning many “hot” Rolex models over the years, I have found recent Rolex designs too safe and almost boring. Their movements really have not advanced with the competition. There really is nothing that interesting about the Rolex design that you haven’t seen 30 years ago. Its becomes a “if you’ve seen one Rolex you’ve seen them all” to a certain extent. Interesting to the novice but boring to the enthusiast. Rolex is playing it safe simply because of the new Rolex buyer doesn’t really know what they want or even what watch to buy. All they seem to be interested in is what other people think and what watch will hold the most value. I hate to say this but I think I might have outgrown Rolex and had to move on to other brands since Rolex primarily is attracting novice buyers these day and moved away from a enthusiast brand.
I am searching for the Rolex Milgauss in Black with the orange hand for the right price ATM, as I love it. This Rolex is not to everyones taste but like the Explorer it is a wonderful piece in the Rolex range.
Not a fan of Rolex after living in Dallas, TX in the 90s when it seemed every billboard you saw was plastered with a Rolex ad and it was the watch every up-and-comer desired (like there were no other great watch brands). However, as soon as I saw the Milgauss, I fell in love with it, both the black and blue dials!
have the gv, just a week ago. thanks for review, i considered the black 41 datejust and i still wonder if i did the right thing, but if i had the datejust i would want the millguass. best answer is have both, so im saving for the DJ.
I personally don't really like Rolex and I also don't like spending thousands of dollars on a watch (because I don't have them) but I must say, that blue Milgauss always tempts me haha.
It's a nice piece for sure, but is it a dress watch or an engineer's? As for being anti magnetic if that is what you require the Omega's can really outshine it! But design wise it is a very nice piece! Great vid as always, keep up the good work!
Thank you for another great video. Your voice is so calming and hypnotic it is scary. I wish you were a lecturer at my old university, I would have gone to every lecture 🤣🤦♂️.
I just recieved my z blue. And I can help but think that the dial was inspired from looking up. Blue for the sky, white for the clouds, and a lightning bolt!
The beauty of the Rolex Milgauss is its simplicity. It has a Spartan look to it and with its Faraday Cage movement reminds me of an Russian AK-47? A machine gun that can be a rifle. And is virtually indestructible.
I’ve had my Black dialed GV Milgauss for 5 years. It’s been a 24/7 wearer, in the sea, the pool, the pub, the beach, shops, towns. It’s undercover and never draws attention. Underrated and it’s battered but looks better for it. My Seiko Save the Ocean 🌊 gets noticed and comments. Not the Milgauss 👍🏻
I detested the current blue Milgauss when I first saw it. Now, after considering it more deeply, I absolutely love it. I would, if times were a little less uncertain, very much consider spending the RRP on one of those. Something I wouldn't say about most Rolex.

"Polarising but that is the essence of magnetism." That was a world class closing line!
pilotstyle123 you beat me to posting about that! Love it!
Only being topped by: “The fact that they can produce a dial like this says that they have the ability to do so.”
pilotstyle123 You mean moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty?
M Tbone hahaha 😂. Wonder how many know that line

Love the Z-blue. It has some of the classical elements of Rolex yet with a little bit of a rebellious streak. My next watch.

The only Rolex I lust after. The green sapphire glass is absolutely insane.
Get the blue dial
This watch is me. Everything I want from the prestige of a Rolex. But different enough to have a pop of flare. And it represents people that are more into technology than luxury or business.
@@urgirlivy1473 I got my z-blue this month. Amazing!
I love white dial Milgauss

"And then, before the train came along..." Great line. Your take on the Mil is as mine. Perhaps my favorite Rolex. Well done.
This video is an ode to this one of a kind time piece! You exactly spoke out my thoughts about that watch, nothing to add. Thanks!
Love my z-blue milgauss, a truly lovely piece that might become a classic one day.
Likewise, and hopefully!
Me too! I get compliments even from Rolex haters, LOL
M F who would hate Rolex.
Is already a classic piece to me. I do not need public approval, that is the problem. Stick to what you like not what others want.
I'm not a great Rolex fan, but the blue Milgauss is really beautiful!
It is the Rolex for the non fan. I have one. Love it.
The only rolex i own. I find it exhilarating. With a small dial for the perfect fit look. And the green pop has proved to be a conversation piece more often than not.

The Z blue is the one I want. Very beautiful watch.
Which model is the one with the red bolt at 6:33?
What would the Milgauss look like with that classic seconds hand, straight with the tip bright orange?
This is a great looking Rolex-love everything about it: the rectangular indices, the pops of color on the sapphire and dial, that kick-ass lightning bolt sweeping around the face; but the best thing about the watch is what it’s missing: a nausea-inducing Mercedes hood ornament. Great video!
I have the Z Blue and love it. I will never sell it. I don't care about the critics. I simply enjoy it.
You have my dream watch!!!
I feel the same way. Got one 3 weeks ago, and they will have to pry it off my dead cold wrist.
ZBlue is just absolutely beautiful.
The z-blue one of my fav Rolexes... instantly recognizable.. had the checkout guy at a Switzerland airport compliment me on the watch, and he was wearing the black Milgauss as well :)
The Milgauss is one of the best-looking watches. The Z blue definitely one of the best Rolex.
Milgauss is probably the only Rolex I enjoy as it shows what they can do when they step a little outside their otherwise stern design language and allow a little whimsy.
Tudor is another example
kallen saczkowski Yes. I like the North Flag for that same reason. I’m not sure if I think the watch is appealing on the whole to me yet, but I do like that aspect.
This is my favorite Rolex . that blue green dial is just so soothing.
I LOVE the Milgauss. Both the green tinted sapphire crystal and the white faced variant. The lightning bolt seconds hand sets it off. ❤️🏴☠️
The Milgauss was my grail Rolex for quite some time. It works great for men and women alike. In the end the Explorer I won my heart and that became the one Rolex in my collection. The Milgauss still has a special place in my heart!
Why not the sub?
I ordered this watch in April and waiting for this beautiful timepiece.
S Such you’ll love it!
S Such I ordered it today
I own the Z-Blue. I have had it two years this month. Blue is my favourite colour (matches my eyes), and it had been on my radar; though when I began seriously shopping for my first Rolex, I thought I was going to get myself a classic Datejust in 36mm. After having worn a 42mm Speedmaster for some years though, it seemed minuscule by comparison when trying them in the boutique, and there was something a little off about the 41mm variants
The modern Submariner was out. Its reinforced, modern lugs destroyed its former symmetry, and going after a vintage piece with its tinny bracelet and clasp would probably have not only cost more, but would have felt a compromise -- to say nothing of the risks involved. So no, for my first Rolex my eye gravitated towards the simplicity of the Milgauss line.
Any why not? It's the ideal size at 40mm. It lacks bulky crown guards and is subtle on the wrist. And what's more, its fit and finish (and price) puts it a cut above the plane Jane Oyster Perpetual, Air King, and dare I say, Explorer.
I had my choice of the white, black and blue Milgauss models then, and I tried them all. I ruled the white out instantly. It was bland. The "black," so-called, combined with the green crystal, well...against my pale skin, the colour was simply "incorrect."

Now you've made me want one!
Wow that ref. 6541 is 😍! The design is up for grabs to some enterprising micro brand.
Brilliant !!! 👏👏👍 Loved the watch too 👍 Thank you.
Which Milgauss is your favorite? White black or z blue.
I love the Milgauss so much..
.. and wow some of those vintage ones are just breathtaking..
No offense to owners, but the lightning bolt seconds hand turns me off. Looks silly to me. Otherwise, the watch is nice, especially because of its nice variety of colors.
I actually think the dial colors are a meltdown. Love the sapphire green, and while I might get sick of the thunderbolt, I might not.
Have made up my mind to get the Z BLUE DIAL one !!!
I love the Milgauss Z-Blue, but wish Rolex would have offered the green crystal on the now-discontinued white dialed Milgauss. Would have been an interesting effect, presumably more so than the green crystal on black or blue dials.
I love that dial combo. It’s one of my favorites from Rolex.
I agree. Owning many “hot” Rolex models over the years, I have found recent Rolex designs too safe and almost boring. Their movements really have not advanced with the competition. There really is nothing that interesting about the Rolex design that you haven’t seen 30 years ago. Its becomes a “if you’ve seen one Rolex you’ve seen them all” to a certain extent. Interesting to the novice but boring to the enthusiast. Rolex is playing it safe simply because of the new Rolex buyer doesn’t really know what they want or even what watch to buy. All they seem to be interested in is what other people think and what watch will hold the most value. I hate to say this but I think I might have outgrown Rolex and had to move on to other brands since Rolex primarily is attracting novice buyers these day and moved away from a enthusiast brand.
TheMystro1971 The OP 39 in red grape begs to differ with you

where's a good place to buy this?
Its funny you put the z blue next to hulk, i have them both. My 2 watch complete set. Dont need nout more.
Good watch channel. Subscribed
have the gv, just a week ago. thanks for review, i considered the black 41 datejust and i still wonder if i did the right thing, but if i had the datejust i would want the millguass. best answer is have both, so im saving for the DJ.
I've dreamt of buying a Z-blue for a good while now, and everytime I see it I want it more and more
So many classics in the Rolex lineup
I personally don't really like Rolex and I also don't like spending thousands of dollars on a watch (because I don't have them) but I must say, that blue Milgauss always tempts me haha.
It's a nice piece for sure, but is it a dress watch or an engineer's? As for being anti magnetic if that is what you require the Omega's can really outshine it! But design wise it is a very nice piece! Great vid as always, keep up the good work!
Thank you for another great video. Your voice is so calming and hypnotic it is scary. I wish you were a lecturer at my old university, I would have gone to every lecture 🤣🤦♂️.
Rolex still makes crazy variance. Such as the gem fitted gmt masters and yacht masters
I love this watch and if was buying a Rolex the blue dial would be exactly what I would buy.👌🏻
I love that watch as well! It is bright, unique, lively!
How much is the price in dollars
Brilliant analysis.
I like the uniqueness of it, especially the seconds hand. This is my 3rd choice behind a Subby or GMT.
I just recieved my z blue. And I can help but think that the dial was inspired from looking up. Blue for the sky, white for the clouds, and a lightning bolt!
My favorite Rolex - great video
Please explain "a charge which would easily kill the wearer"
Excellent video, thank you.
The milgauss dial colour is the most beautiful rolex ever design.🤩
The beauty of the Rolex Milgauss is its simplicity. It has a Spartan look to it and with its Faraday Cage movement reminds me of an Russian AK-47? A machine gun that can be a rifle. And is virtually indestructible.
I’ve had my Black dialed GV Milgauss for 5 years. It’s been a 24/7 wearer, in the sea, the pool, the pub, the beach, shops, towns. It’s undercover and never draws attention. Underrated and it’s battered but looks better for it. My Seiko Save the Ocean 🌊 gets noticed and comments. Not the Milgauss 👍🏻
great video, now i really want a parnis milgauss even more
I detested the current blue Milgauss when I first saw it.
Now, after considering it more deeply, I absolutely love it. I would, if times were a little less uncertain, very much consider spending the RRP on one of those. Something I wouldn't say about most Rolex.
I thought the white dial Explorer ll was polar izing. Cheers
Well I for one like the Milgaus in green. 👍😀
Excellent video!
Great video. Brilliant watch!
Was my grail for years finally found one at my local AD. and I didn’t pull the trigger. What’s wrong with me.
Lol
IDGuy - you are enlightening!
The z blue Milgauss is my grail watch. One day!
Today. Buy one
Best watch analyze channel
I like it a lot. Might be my next Rolex.
The Milgauss is actually the only Rolex I could ever imagine myself owning (probably with the blue dial, which I think is beautiful).
Funky cool. But then again, I’m wearing one.
