Everything you mentioned about this watch, making it "the worst," is exactly what i feel makes it great. Rolex rarely deviates from their tried and true formula and when they do it's a breath of fresh air. They are always so serious with their designs and seeing something a bit different from them is what makes this a true collectors piece in my opinion. If i had the financial means, i'd buy one right now.
This is my favorite Rolex. Bravo for being different, for having the balls to juxtapose fun with stodginess. That is exactly what will make this watch an all-time classic. A tinted crystal and lightning bolt hand. Come on. How cool is that? How daring and beautiful. I applaud this one.
Yeah, I think he just hates the look of this watch, and can't seem to justify the cost based on his own experience and reviews. I know very little about luxury watches, and have never experienced one. I simply enjoy learning about movements, and the associated brands, as I hope to one day own a modestly priced automatic that fits not only my budget, but suits my appreciation for mechanical and aesthetic design. I'd like to know as much going in as I can before taking the plunge. The first time I saw this watch I thought it was beautiful. I like the colour scheme, and the green glass. Some may say that's a sign of my lack of experience/knowledge. Still, I appreciate the visual reference to the origin piece, and the original purpose of the 6541. It offers a slight variation to available Oyster aesthetics. Is it worth the price jump? I'm not sure. Is it the worst watch? Heck no! I'm typically not a fan of Rolex watches (not that I could ever afford one), but for some reason I enjoy the look of this model.
Not that I'll likely ever have the funds for one, but the Milgauss is literally the only Rolex watch I'd ever actually want to own. The magnetic shielding, the story behind it's design, and not to mention the crystal is one of my favorite colors, and this watch just looks cool to me.

@@wurfag It has nothing to do with the moviment dude, you need to learn about added value! Its more expensive for the fact its a diver, it has more function, it takes more materials to make, it has a bigger demand, it have the feature of being a divers watch and its able to sustain bigger preasures, and so on! Thats not the case with the Milgauss, especially when it comes to the biggest factor of them all: Demand!
This video made me fall in love with this watch. Exactly 8 months later, really took that long, I finally found a Rolex Boutique that sold me one! Mine forever!
Agreed, I personally love the Milgauss due to its Design - unassuming at first glance but exciting in the details like the green chrystal and the second hand. It´s my favourite Rolex, the one I´m willing to save up for.
Agree, I own one and all I ever get is compliments, but, tbh, as long as I like it and don’t shove my opinion about it down anyone else’s throat, I don’t really care if no one else likes it. End of.
Clearly no one has paid attention to what he said at the end. Despite elements which, taken in isolation, could objectively seem bad (the price, the second hand, etc.), the whole is actually quite cool. This is his conclusion. And it could not be anything else, given that these guys sell watches.
@@carloc8763 - that was a statement meant to hedge against his, frankly asinine, rant meant to be click bait. To his credit ... I clicked, so it worked.
A highly refined and elegant, yet simultaneously stunningly dramatic, triumph of inspired industrial design. The light show this thing puts on is just amazing. If it's not the other worldly edge lighting effects of the crystal, then it's the optically variable sunburst Z-Blue dial, or it's the lume, or it is a combination of those elements. Then there is that brutalist case design, which melds perfectly with all the optical wizardry, to create an aesthetic like no other. This is by a long margin, the best day time watch ever.
Your reasonings to dislike the watch are literally the reasons people love this thing. I'm glad I just put an order in for one, especially after watching this.
I love this watch simply because its history aligns with my own. I am not a diver, I am not a pilot, I am not an explorer; I am an engineer. I got my Masters working with MRI technology. This watch was made for me, even if I rarely am around fields so strong these days.
@@alanwayte432 I think on paper it really doesn’t make sense - what is the purpose of the green tint on this professional scientific watch and why a lightning bolt on a watch that now offers standards levels of resistance- But as a whole it’s a great watch
I have this watch. I love this watch. I saw it in the case at the Rolex boutique and immediately asked to see it. They had ordered it for someone who bought a different watch while on a cruise...so they put it on display. It had been there less than an hour when I saw it. While I was looking at it, some other guy walked in, saw it and wanted to see it. The salesperson told him that I was looking at it and he was welcome to look at it after I was finished. I took my time. I then told the salesperson I would take it. He went to retrieve the box and the other customer complained that he didn’t get to see it. The salesperson said, “That watch doesn’t belong to this Botique anymore. That watch belongs to this gentleman. If he says you can look at it, you can; but that is his choice now, not ours.” The guy, who had actually been quite demanding and rude and had been in my personal space, hovering over my shoulder, just off my right elbow the entire time, turned to me and asked if he could look at it and try it on. Nope. And I was in the process of moving, so I had the Botique box it up right there and then mail the watch to me at my new address a couple of weeks later, rather than wear it out. And if I’m not even wearing my brand new Milgauss, there’s no chance in the world I was letting some rude stranger, who doesn’t understand personal space, wear it even for a second. I love this watch. I was considering getting one with a black dial, as I think the orange lightning bolt would ‘pop’ on the black dial. But the blue looks great and I even have some shirts that match the color scheme. Love this watch!
This was my first ever rolex and the first watch over 1000 euros I ever bought. Call me a weirdo but this is still my favorite and brings me so much joy every time I see it. It plays witch light and shifts colours so much that it's like wearing a different watch each time the lighting changes. It can be a bit of a hazard in traffic though, since I can easily get mesmerized by its beauty while driving. First rolex and the only one guaranteed never to leave my possession.
I’m currently at five minutes, 41 seconds and thinking to myself “I still love the watch… I love owning it.“. It is very refreshing to know that I do not have to defend anything. Back to watching
It’s for physicists who deal with high magnetic fields hence the shielding. Leaded radiation shielding glass can have a green hue, so suspect that drove that decision. But the steel shielding can easily saturate and the glass isn’t leaded, so a fail on both. However, having built 2 lightning test facilities to keep everyone flying in aeroplanes safe, I do rather like the second hand.
And in the real world... ...the Z-Blue Milgauss shocks because it is the opposite of the garish but loveable design exercise that the YT videos would have you expect. The Z-Blue Milgauss shocks because: - it is a phenomenally subtle and sophisticated design that presents its extreme sophistication and subtly radically differently in bright and low light conditions - the orange coloured lightening second hand is in fact barely noticeable - the dial goes near black in low light and becomes the palest of ice blue in bright light, with a hint of denim colour. - if the light is behind the green crystal, the green crystal presents an super bright and purest green edge lighting effect that is just elegant and stunning - the entire colour scheme us perfectly balanced according to colour theory - its achingly beautiful - despite its elegance, beauty, and sophistication, this watch can be read as a pedigree purpose built Professional Rolex from the moon. This is built like a Bugatti tank, because of its mission and DNA.
I think the British tongue in cheek humour is a bit lost in this video, gathering from all the negative comments. He isn't saying it's the worst watch, he's saying that only objectively the Milgauss is the worst watch, but because people buy watches with their heart rather than their head, the Milgauss is also beautiful subjectively. I guess you could only understand it if you know British humour in this instance.
@Yanny One I disagree. I thoroughly enjoyed it, no different to what he usually uploads with click-baity titles. I understand this style might not be to some people's taste but I still enjoyed it.
@Yanny One I don't need you to care... It's a matter of opinion. I'm trying to ensure people understand that he isn't bashing the Milgauss. It's like the Nissan Juke, objectively that's an ugly car; weird angles, strange headlights, awkward stance etc. But millions of people love it! Subjectively they think it looks awesome. That's what the narrator is trying to convey. It's not a bad video per se, it's just that some people don't understand the point he's trying to make and is therefore miscommunicated. I love all the videos from watchfinder. Epic!
I know this is an old video, but I had to click. How can a Milgauss be the worst watch ever when Hublot exists? 🤣 the milgauss is an icon and I find a lot of physicians/researchers love their milgauss ❤️
“It is when you start picking out the finer details that the watch starts falling apart.” Goes on to hate on the watch based solely on looks not realizing what it’s heritage or functionality is.
I dislike rolexes. I _subjectively_ like this one more than most. No cyclops eye and the bolt is a cool detail on an otherwise quiet-ish watch. Sue me. P. S. Milgauss is not a meme
This video is weird, in that it pulls shade over what is a perfectly good watch to begin with. The Milgauss...worst watch ever made? Far from it, there are plenty of other candidates for that title...
Interesting thoughts...and some good points. Ultimately, the message I took from this video is very complimentary towards the Milgauss. It’s a brilliant watch that defies conventional judgement.
I actually loved this video. I was really puzzled by so much criticism was being poured on a perfectly nice watch, until 5:39. Then it made sense: It was all about seemingly unappealing parts can become a rather appealing whole. Watch it again. Thumbs up.
that's what I got from it. individually each odd part of the milgauss is wrong but together they form something that surpasses a time keeper. individually They should make up the worst watch in the world but when combined in the right amount they make a beautiful watch
"But rarely does a person eat the recipe." Good line. Now wait a minute... are you saying that someone HAS eaten a recipe?? Now this is a story I must know!
The only thing bad about this watch is the cartoonish lightning bolt second hand. That said, some people find it whimsical and fun. To each their own. But the “worst” watch? Never. That title goes to Invicta.
You need to watch to the end! I think the British tongue in cheek humour is a bit lost in this video, gathering from all the negative comments. He isn't saying it's the worst watch, he's saying that only objectively the Milgauss is the worst watch, but because people buy watches with their heart rather than their head, the Milgauss is also beautiful subjectively. I guess you could only understand it if you know British humour in this instance.
Alec Tang I did watch it to the end. I’m British, so I get British humour. It just wasn’t a great video. Watchfinder is my favourite watch channel. This is their first miss.
For people who don't understand, by saying the "worst watch" he means that its bad at what being a watch and what it's supposed to be or bad at doing what a watch is supposed to do, example : telling time, being readable etc. It is indeed one of the beautiful watches out there.
The fact this $6,000 Rolex watch is supposed to be worse than a watch picked up at a walmart for $15 is the dumbest shit I ever heard a person say about a luxury brand watchmaker regarding the Milgauss
I have a Milgauss and I'm not offended at all. I've often thought it's a strange model that's pretty impractical, but any watch over £10 you could describe as impractical. I'm just hoping Rolex will discontinue it soon as I know this model is going to be a future classic and the price will go through the roof!
This is a beautiful timepiece. It has a practicality to it. A scientists’ watch one that works with electromagnetic fields. I know I’d be looking into this watch if I were Network Engineer or find myself working in a server room.
I doubt this Rolex would be protected despite being claimed antimagnetic. It’s only rated at 1000 gauss, compare that to the Omega Seamaster which is 15,000 gauss, which is MRI level of antimagnetic
how can something be objectively bad when you only give subjective reasons? I is cosc certified so already better than most watches, the colour of the crystal does not impede it's ability to stay scratch resistant and and the seconds hand, lightening bolt or not, works as it should.
Nothing odd about it. But I guess the British tongue-in-cheek humour is a bit lost in this video, gathering from all the negative comments. He isn't saying it's the worst watch, he's saying that only objectively the Milgauss is the worst watch, but because people buy watches with their heart rather than their head, the Milgauss is also beautiful subjectively.

@@rumblejungle5590 I'm actually Scottish. It's not really that obscure if you listen carefully throughout the video. That said, I'm an English Linguistic instructor, so I probably focus more than your average Joe.
If I owned one of these I’d be sad about this video too and feel the need to defend it in a comment. Paying thousands for an objectively bad watch would make me depressed as fuck I’d comment defending it to the death if I owned one.
After years and years of searching and planning I found this to be my perfect watch. I've had it for years now and it never ceases to make me happy. I wear it every day an it's so unassuming that it's like a secret luxury that almost no one knows I have. I have had maybe 2 people (clearly Rolex-knowledgable) comment on it. I bought an Apple watch a bit ago and that lasted about a year before I abandoned new tech for old tech and my Milgauss was back on my wrist. As others have noted, the commentary you made is exactly why this watch is so fantastic. Yes, it's very odd for a Rolex. Yes, it's a weird mix of colors. Yes, it's got no real practical advantage over an Oyster Perpetual (I don't plan on wearing this near an MRI machine). So is it the worst watch ever? Not on this wrist it isn't.
I own this watch with the black dial and I absolutely love it. I've had it for 8 months and I've yet had to adjust the time. And the worst watch in the world? What an absolutely absurd proposition. Look at some of the ridiculous watch designs being sold out there and you will see that this is really a beautiful and functional watch. And when he said that you can buy the same turquoise dial in an Oyster Perpetual I almost fell off my chair. Those watches are now selling for significantly more than a Milgauss. Don't pay any attention to the price on the Rolex site, you simply cannot buy those watches in any store for the list price. A very misleading post by Watchfinder.
Each to his own . I’m not a fan of Rolex styles in general , but this one is a beautiful exception. I love how the green crystal sets off the sky blue face . The colors work together in a lovely unexpected way . The gold minute hand and logo further enhance by contrasting with the cool ice colors - pure genius ! I would own this watch in a heartbeat 💗.
Jordan V yes. The first two minutes were painful, wondering if he’d ever explain why he thinks the watch is so terrible. I laughed that he felt he had to explain objectivity vs subjectivity. So condescending
@@sinjon I suppose he needed to talk about it more, since most people here seem to not understand his main argument. That to some people, it's a good watch
You missed the mark here buddy: 1) Lightning bolt straight from the technicians’s/engineer/PhD of horology from the 50-60s, 2) GV: dude, SCIENCE! it’s formulation, they didn’t bother to patent because it is so extremely complicated to replicate. OG, Bro. Disagree 100%.
Well this is the first video I've watched where I have read nearly all the comments before watching the actual video. I was expecting a horror show. But it wasn't. As always it's a well thought out, beautifully presented video. Sadly it would seem far too many people have taken this literally. The whole video is to convey the message that there is no worst watch ever. The worst watch ever will be one, objectively, doesn't tell the time. Everything else is down to personal opinion. If a watch works for you its all that matters. If you have taken offence to this video, sorry but it's because you have allowed yourself to take offence. If you have a milgauss enjoy. If you don't and want one, get one. If you don't, don't.
I don't think the majority of viewers are actually offended (at least I hope not). I believe they/we are somewhat concerned...seemingly, because the overall "thought processes" expressed in this video are not of the typical caliber of Watchfinder & Co.
Chris Moore the point of the video may have been what you described, but in the process they chose an amazing watch and said that it is objectively bad and used subjective reason for it. It was a horrible video. There is reason to take offense if you can’t frame your argument or point correctly. Imagine a reputable watch retailer saying some of your watches were OBJECTIVELY the worst watches you could buy. Even if the point is to illustrate there is no “worst” watch, they have said that YOUR watch has no real features. By being OBJECTIVELY the worst, it can now only be assumed you that the reason you bought that watch involve a plethora of non reasonable decisions that lead you to buy it. If this was really their point they did a horrible job of conveying it.
@@johnbenton5102 Ok I take your point to a level. Perhaps his use of objectivity could have been better conveyed. I think the whole video is based on the question "Why?". Why does the Milgauss cost £2000 more than the OP? Why does a watch so elegant and restrained have a lighting bolt for a seconds hand? Why does it have a green crystal? What is its purpose? Yes these actual aspects could be subjective if you like or dislike them. But its asking why they are there from an objective point of view. As said perhaps the video didn't do as well as it could to emphasize this. Personally I quite like the Milgauss. I'm not a huge fan of Rolex but I appreciate everyone's opinions and rights to love whatever watch they want.
@@bradyreid9270 I think the thought process is there and if you listen to the questions posed in the video they are valid. I think perhaps the style and clarity isn't the best and potentially labelling the Milgauss as the "worst watch" (he doesn't say it actually is) is a step too far. It's a video more about the purpose of aspects of the watch. But then again who knows, think we all see these from our own point of view, so I'm just giving mine that's all. I could be wrong and according to my girlfriend I often am!
Watching this with a blue dial Milgauss on my wrist and the black dial one in the rotating case, I was almost ready to jump in the comments and type a dissertation.
I think this is the most interesting watch Rolex makes, but that's subjective. After watching this video I am still saving up for one. Feel free to send me yours if you don't like it.
I think I must be the only one who finds Rolex hate refreshing. The small line up in the Rolex roster is getting quite boring for me, whilst as any watch lover I can appreciate that they make a good watch, they are simply no more than that. Omega have always been a personal favourite of mine despite some wacky watches in the range, its nice to see new designs that blow the Rolex counterparts away....
I just got mine last week and I love it! From the green crystal, to the orange lightening bolt to the minutes by fives (whatever that is called, not sure the official term) and the fact that it doesn't scream ROLEX! when you walk into a room with it, i love this watch.
Disagree. Purchased one because of the work I do. When Rolex released this watch, there weren’t as many magnetically sealed watches around, and I got tired of resetting my datejust every day. The green glass actually looks rather smart most of the time. Suggesting this is the worst watch in the world, and criticising it for its quirky second hand and green glass is overreaching. But in relation to price, prices are different all over the world. In the year they re-released these, in Australia they were retailing at AU$19k, or EU9k. I was able to purchase mine from a Swiss retailer for around AU$8.5k, which was about EU4k at the time. An oyster perpetual was EU3.6k at the time. So people’s subjective feelings and limited stock might have attributed to the increase in price.
@@shafserious2805 Most of his videos are very much him rambling for the most part with a few bits of good content scattered throughout. The only thing that keeps his channel going is the British accent, I think.
I don't think he bashed the watch at all. Did you see the video until the end? His reasoning is that sometimes, even if something is called or deemed objectively bad, or ugly, or whatever, it doesn't keep it from being appreciated, seeming unique and ultimately working out. Like acquired taste. I might have been naive, but whatever negativity existed went away at the end of the video.
We know you want more watches…. click here: linktr.ee/watchfinder
Make this go viral, I want to buy one of these watches on the cheap.
My exact thoughts.
They have gone up in price along with the other steel sports Rolexes. Not as much but are now selling for preowned within 10% of new.
They retail for £6300 new but you can pick up one a couple of years old for £5000 or under with a bit of haggling.

Its more expensive for the fact its a diver, it has more function, it takes more materials to make, it has a bigger demand, it have the feature of being a divers watch and its able to sustain bigger preasures, and so on! Thats not the case with the Milgauss, especially when it comes to the biggest factor of them all: Demand!
This love-hate relationship with the Milgauss model is what will make them collectible in some years.
The Milgauss GV is the only Rolex produced with tinted crystal though

Agreed!
I just bought a white dial Milgauss, I might have a good wee investment as I bought low, but if not I still like it.
@@neoth8647 good point. It also appeals to non-Rolex like me.
This video made me fall in love with this watch. Exactly 8 months later, really took that long, I finally found a Rolex Boutique that sold me one!
Mine forever!
Congrats, enjoy!
Lucky you! I've been on the waiting list to buy since a year now😩
Congratulations my friend 😁🍻
Niko bro your on the wrong waitlist, these are everywher
fuck yeah! Great buy

British sarcasm is an acquired taste, and often flies higher than those looking on.
😏
I agree. Maybe British humor is a little more sophisticated than ours. American humor seems more naive. Straightforward.
Too bad there’s no sarcasm here then
Did the narrator consider he’s a knucklehead when looking at this watch?
@sfairraid 13 Really?
Oh c'mon.. you're respected enough.. no need of using a clickbait like this
It's actually one of my favorite Rolex, I love the combination of colors and lightning bolt shape
agree
Yes! Rolex have so many boring watches so this one sticks out, saw one on a custom green ostrich strap = watchporn!
Agreed, I personally love the Milgauss due to its Design - unassuming at first glance but exciting in the details like the green chrystal and the second hand. It´s my favourite Rolex, the one I´m willing to save up for.
Agree, I own one and all I ever get is compliments, but, tbh, as long as I like it and don’t shove my opinion about it down anyone else’s throat, I don’t really care if no one else likes it. End of.
M F me too about the compliments .
Those were three of the least compelling reasons to hate a watch that I could imagine.
Duncan Dorris indeed! I usually agree and enjoy what this guy says on these videos. But this time he pulled a faux pas!
I didn't understand this video at all either, you aren't alone.
Clearly no one has paid attention to what he said at the end. Despite elements which, taken in isolation, could objectively seem bad (the price, the second hand, etc.), the whole is actually quite cool. This is his conclusion. And it could not be anything else, given that these guys sell watches.
@@carloc8763 - that was a statement meant to hedge against his, frankly asinine, rant meant to be click bait. To his credit ... I clicked, so it worked.
@@carloc8763 thanks for explaining
A highly refined and elegant, yet simultaneously stunningly dramatic, triumph of inspired industrial design.
The light show this thing puts on is just amazing.
If it's not the other worldly edge lighting effects of the crystal, then it's the optically variable sunburst Z-Blue dial, or it's the lume, or it is a combination of those elements.
Then there is that brutalist case design, which melds perfectly with all the optical wizardry, to create an aesthetic like no other.
This is by a long margin, the best day time watch ever.
Your reasonings to dislike the watch are literally the reasons people love this thing. I'm glad I just put an order in for one, especially after watching this.
This was obviously filmed before Audemars Piguet released the Code 11.59 range.
You mean Audemars Wellington?
Indeed. LOL
Stefan Roser 😂😂😂😂😂
Feraldo Rozanandy BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
I bet it was!!
Is it just me, or did Rolex put the Milgauss on the front page of their website as a FU to this video ?
Well, if you don't want yours, then I'll be glad to love it for you...
Same
Kraken1000 I’m willing to ignore the lightning bolt 😉
I actually like the lightning bolt and absolutely love the green!
imo its the best time only watch
That's the point of this channel: To advertise the watches they sell. You want it? Go to watchfinder.co.uk and buy it lol
This is literally the only Rolex that I would ever want...
I love this watch simply because its history aligns with my own. I am not a diver, I am not a pilot, I am not an explorer; I am an engineer. I got my Masters working with MRI technology. This watch was made for me, even if I rarely am around fields so strong these days.
its one of the most beautifully simplistic and yet eye-catching watches ever produced, it's an gem. i love it
This was expert trolling, you must be laughing your head off at a lot of the comments.
Indeed! And, indeed.
It was irony on irony...but disagree with point that recipe is bad, still looks good to me in specs, I absolutely love mine
@@alanwayte432 I think on paper it really doesn’t make sense - what is the purpose of the green tint on this professional scientific watch and why a lightning bolt on a watch that now offers standards levels of resistance- But as a whole it’s a great watch
That’s _crazy_ ...
The Milgauss is legitimately the only Rolex I even like. Rolex designs are overall too boring for me.
oyster perpetual milgauss
RaDD C only the air king is uglier. Everything else rolex makes is beautiful. Milgauss is just ok
navarrolevel7 this is ur opinion i really dont think every rolex model looks good
yachtmaster is the ugliest Rolex, and a dog in the sales figures.
every company has their spin on the submariner. your right, they are over done. still beautiful though.
This Rolex has personality. And it took guts to create a teal dial.
I have this watch. I love this watch.
I saw it in the case at the Rolex boutique and immediately asked to see it. They had ordered it for someone who bought a different watch while on a cruise...so they put it on display. It had been there less than an hour when I saw it. While I was looking at it, some other guy walked in, saw it and wanted to see it. The salesperson told him that I was looking at it and he was welcome to look at it after I was finished. I took my time. I then told the salesperson I would take it. He went to retrieve the box and the other customer complained that he didn’t get to see it. The salesperson said, “That watch doesn’t belong to this Botique anymore. That watch belongs to this gentleman. If he says you can look at it, you can; but that is his choice now, not ours.”
The guy, who had actually been quite demanding and rude and had been in my personal space, hovering over my shoulder, just off my right elbow the entire time, turned to me and asked if he could look at it and try it on.
Nope.
And I was in the process of moving, so I had the Botique box it up right there and then mail the watch to me at my new address a couple of weeks later, rather than wear it out. And if I’m not even wearing my brand new Milgauss, there’s no chance in the world I was letting some rude stranger, who doesn’t understand personal space, wear it even for a second.
I love this watch. I was considering getting one with a black dial, as I think the orange lightning bolt would ‘pop’ on the black dial. But the blue looks great and I even have some shirts that match the color scheme. Love this watch!
Ehhhh... The Milgauss is actually pretty slick.
Zune was great
This was my first ever rolex and the first watch over 1000 euros I ever bought. Call me a weirdo but this is still my favorite and brings me so much joy every time I see it. It plays witch light and shifts colours so much that it's like wearing a different watch each time the lighting changes. It can be a bit of a hazard in traffic though, since I can easily get mesmerized by its beauty while driving. First rolex and the only one guaranteed never to leave my possession.
How much did you pay??
I love how 99% of the people are replying to strictly to the title. As if they didn't watch the video.
True. To be fair, you could watch about 90% of the video and still think it was a hit piece. Plot twist at the end was great.
People are retarded
His individual points were all dumb, though, not persuasive at all. Comes off as him trying to force a video with an interesting title.
I’m currently at five minutes, 41 seconds and thinking to myself “I still love the watch… I love owning it.“. It is very refreshing to know that I do not have to defend anything. Back to watching
He is the king of clickbait. Every video title he does is like this, just controversial clickbait.
It’s for physicists who deal with high magnetic fields hence the shielding. Leaded radiation shielding glass can have a green hue, so suspect that drove that decision. But the steel shielding can easily saturate and the glass isn’t leaded, so a fail on both. However, having built 2 lightning test facilities to keep everyone flying in aeroplanes safe, I do rather like the second hand.
And in the real world...
...the Z-Blue Milgauss shocks because it is the opposite of the garish but loveable design exercise that the YT videos would have you expect.
The Z-Blue Milgauss shocks because:
- it is a phenomenally subtle and sophisticated design that presents its extreme sophistication and subtly radically differently in bright and low light conditions
- the orange coloured lightening second hand is in fact barely noticeable
- the dial goes near black in low light and becomes the palest of ice blue in bright light, with a hint of denim colour.
- if the light is behind the green crystal, the green crystal presents an super bright and purest green edge lighting effect that is just elegant and stunning
- the entire colour scheme us perfectly balanced according to colour theory - its achingly beautiful
- despite its elegance, beauty, and sophistication, this watch can be read as a pedigree purpose built Professional Rolex from the moon. This is built like a Bugatti tank, because of its mission and DNA.
I like this channel but I'm not digging all these click baity titles and negativity recently.
I think the British tongue in cheek humour is a bit lost in this video, gathering from all the negative comments. He isn't saying it's the worst watch, he's saying that only objectively the Milgauss is the worst watch, but because people buy watches with their heart rather than their head, the Milgauss is also beautiful subjectively.
I guess you could only understand it if you know British humour in this instance.
@Yanny One I disagree. I thoroughly enjoyed it, no different to what he usually uploads with click-baity titles. I understand this style might not be to some people's taste but I still enjoyed it.
They sold out to Richemont. Once that aspect of integrity went away, so did others.
@@gyang333 no... Their recent Rolex videos were just as good.
@Yanny One I don't need you to care... It's a matter of opinion. I'm trying to ensure people understand that he isn't bashing the Milgauss.
It's like the Nissan Juke, objectively that's an ugly car; weird angles, strange headlights, awkward stance etc. But millions of people love it! Subjectively they think it looks awesome.
That's what the narrator is trying to convey. It's not a bad video per se, it's just that some people don't understand the point he's trying to make and is therefore miscommunicated. I love all the videos from watchfinder. Epic!
Now that is a Rolex I actually really like. Thanks for highlighting its best characteristics.
Probably, the only Rolex I really love.
Me too,the only one on rolex.
Me too, I have several yet the Milgauss speaks to me
I know this is an old video, but I had to click. How can a Milgauss be the worst watch ever when Hublot exists? 🤣 the milgauss is an icon and I find a lot of physicians/researchers love their milgauss ❤️
“It is when you start picking out the finer details that the watch starts falling apart.” Goes on to hate on the watch based solely on looks not realizing what it’s heritage or functionality is.
And didn’t he say something about taste? I think the watch is awesome, and my favorite color is green.
Wtf the milgauss is an absolute beaut
yep its so beautiful
@Truthfears Guilty so u might know NOTHING about watches
@Truthfears Guilty sure kiddy
@Truthfears Guilty u're trash
Watch the whole video big fella. He likes the watch...
I dislike rolexes. I _subjectively_ like this one more than most. No cyclops eye and the bolt is a cool detail on an otherwise quiet-ish watch. Sue me.
P. S. Milgauss is not a meme
Rolexes are overpriced plain jane watches
@@levedia Your brain is plain flat
This video is weird, in that it pulls shade over what is a perfectly good watch to begin with. The Milgauss...worst watch ever made? Far from it, there are plenty of other candidates for that title...
The twist is in the last sentence. Sometimes the watches we buy make no sense. That's the beauty of it. It's yours to decide
Definitely not the worst watch ever. That award goes to any Hublot.
The Milgauss GV is an enigma wrapped in a mystery contained in a puzzle
There it is, finally MVMT is better than ROLEX !1!!
MVMT>Filippo Loreti>DW>Rolex
lol
Christ, that three minute rhetorical, pseudo-semantic schpeel at the start was painful.
Interesting thoughts...and some good points. Ultimately, the message I took from this video is very complimentary towards the Milgauss. It’s a brilliant watch that defies conventional judgement.
That's about the size of it, and very good it was, too.
"...a nugget of purest green." Oh, Edmund, can it be true? That Lord Percival is alive and well and designing watches for Rolex???
I suggest you make the explanation you're about to give phenomenally good.
Loved that little Blackadder reference 😁
This watch is for the astro-physicist who just got $20M grant approved
I actually loved this video. I was really puzzled by so much criticism was being poured on a perfectly nice watch, until 5:39. Then it made sense: It was all about seemingly unappealing parts can become a rather appealing whole. Watch it again. Thumbs up.
that's what I got from it. individually each odd part of the milgauss is wrong but together they form something that surpasses a time keeper. individually They should make up the worst watch in the world but when combined in the right amount they make a beautiful watch
I had to watch it again after your comment, wasn't paying attention towards the end lol.
Yes, was terrific. All the time you were thinking ' well, it really isn't that bad ( ! ) ' and in the end, it wasn't.
Oh dear, that is... utterly horrendous.
A shame...
I can take it off your hands for you ;)
"But rarely does a person eat the recipe."
Good line.
Now wait a minute... are you saying that someone HAS eaten a recipe?? Now this is a story I must know!
This watch will be a classic in years to come. Absolutely love it!!
The only thing bad about this watch is the cartoonish lightning bolt second hand. That said, some people find it whimsical and fun. To each their own. But the “worst” watch? Never. That title goes to Invicta.
Bizarre video, full of contradictions. I struggled to watch it until the end.

For people who don't understand, by saying the "worst watch" he means that its bad at what being a watch and what it's supposed to be or bad at doing what a watch is supposed to do, example : telling time, being readable etc. It is indeed one of the beautiful watches out there.
The fact this $6,000 Rolex watch is supposed to be worse than a watch picked up at a walmart for $15 is the dumbest shit I ever heard a person say about a luxury brand watchmaker regarding the Milgauss
No, the worst watch ever were those Air Kings with the Dominos Pizza logo.
wow, I thought you were joking. But these are real!
not if you love pizza
wait until you see mvmt with tiege hanley logo
but they are rare
I was looking at no-date oyster perpetuals on chrono24 and saw a Domino's one. Its ridiculous but I'd totally rock one for fun.
The Worst Watch Video Ever made by Watchfinder & Co.
It's all irony...
I have a Milgauss and I'm not offended at all. I've often thought it's a strange model that's pretty impractical, but any watch over £10 you could describe as impractical. I'm just hoping Rolex will discontinue it soon as I know this model is going to be a future classic and the price will go through the roof!

Sub at retail 🤔 They won’t sell it unless you buy the unwanted precious metal rolex than only they offer you those sport steel
This is a beautiful timepiece. It has a practicality to it. A scientists’ watch one that works with electromagnetic fields. I know I’d be looking into this watch if I were Network Engineer or find myself working in a server room.
I dont think that a server room has enough gauss to afect an average watch, try the switchgear
I doubt this Rolex would be protected despite being claimed antimagnetic. It’s only rated at 1000 gauss, compare that to the Omega Seamaster which is 15,000 gauss, which is MRI level of antimagnetic
The Milgauss has been my grail watch for years. This vid is some hot take clickbait BS. Unless you're trolling, in which case I got trolled.
how can something be objectively bad when you only give subjective reasons?
I is cosc certified so already better than most watches, the colour of the crystal does not impede it's ability to stay scratch resistant and and the seconds hand, lightening bolt or not, works as it should.
Hmm, odd video. The Milgauss has a cult following that would make Tarantino jealous.
Odd, you said it. Clue: "Devious" Iightning bolts.

All y'all who want to be ugly.
stepped lout of its shell to make an even more plain jane watch. GRAND SEIKO all the way.
If I owned one of these I’d be sad about this video too and feel the need to defend it in a comment. Paying thousands for an objectively bad watch would make me depressed as fuck I’d comment defending it to the death if I owned one.
Trynathinka Suttencul How is it ugly? Not everyone wants a boring ass watch that’s been made 1000 times
I bet you’re a tag heuer fan lol
After years and years of searching and planning I found this to be my perfect watch. I've had it for years now and it never ceases to make me happy. I wear it every day an it's so unassuming that it's like a secret luxury that almost no one knows I have. I have had maybe 2 people (clearly Rolex-knowledgable) comment on it. I bought an Apple watch a bit ago and that lasted about a year before I abandoned new tech for old tech and my Milgauss was back on my wrist. As others have noted, the commentary you made is exactly why this watch is so fantastic. Yes, it's very odd for a Rolex. Yes, it's a weird mix of colors. Yes, it's got no real practical advantage over an Oyster Perpetual (I don't plan on wearing this near an MRI machine). So is it the worst watch ever? Not on this wrist it isn't.
Clearly one of the best rolex has made. Trying to drive the price down to get himself one. Nice work.
No, the title of worst watch goes to every single Richard Mille ever made.
the only one with a lightning on his face should be Harry Potter....DAVID BOWIE BEGS TO DIFFER
Nailed it, it’s not about what others think, it’s what works for you.
I own this watch with the black dial and I absolutely love it. I've had it for 8 months and I've yet had to adjust the time. And the worst watch in the world? What an absolutely absurd proposition. Look at some of the ridiculous watch designs being sold out there and you will see that this is really a beautiful and functional watch. And when he said that you can buy the same turquoise dial in an Oyster Perpetual I almost fell off my chair. Those watches are now selling for significantly more than a Milgauss. Don't pay any attention to the price on the Rolex site, you simply cannot buy those watches in any store for the list price. A very misleading post by Watchfinder.
Each to his own . I’m not a fan of Rolex styles in general , but this one is a beautiful exception. I love how the green crystal sets off the sky blue face . The colors work together in a lovely unexpected way . The gold minute hand and logo further enhance by contrasting with the cool ice colors - pure genius ! I would own this watch in a heartbeat 💗.

The best way to enjoy this video is with the volume all the way down
Video starts at 2:21
I like all your videos. But this one might be the best of them all.
I was smiling the entire video. And now I want a Milgauss. Damn it!
Right!?
Well this is the first video I've watched where I have read nearly all the comments before watching the actual video. I was expecting a horror show. But it wasn't. As always it's a well thought out, beautifully presented video. Sadly it would seem far too many people have taken this literally. The whole video is to convey the message that there is no worst watch ever. The worst watch ever will be one, objectively, doesn't tell the time. Everything else is down to personal opinion. If a watch works for you its all that matters. If you have taken offence to this video, sorry but it's because you have allowed yourself to take offence. If you have a milgauss enjoy. If you don't and want one, get one. If you don't, don't.
I don't think the majority of viewers are actually offended (at least I hope not). I believe they/we are somewhat concerned...seemingly, because the overall "thought processes" expressed in this video are not of the typical caliber of Watchfinder & Co.
Chris Moore the point of the video may have been what you described, but in the process they chose an amazing watch and said that it is objectively bad and used subjective reason for it. It was a horrible video. There is reason to take offense if you can’t frame your argument or point correctly. Imagine a reputable watch retailer saying some of your watches were OBJECTIVELY the worst watches you could buy. Even if the point is to illustrate there is no “worst” watch, they have said that YOUR watch has no real features. By being OBJECTIVELY the worst, it can now only be assumed you that the reason you bought that watch involve a plethora of non reasonable decisions that lead you to buy it. If this was really their point they did a horrible job of conveying it.
@@johnbenton5102 Ok I take your point to a level. Perhaps his use of objectivity could have been better conveyed. I think the whole video is based on the question "Why?". Why does the Milgauss cost £2000 more than the OP? Why does a watch so elegant and restrained have a lighting bolt for a seconds hand? Why does it have a green crystal? What is its purpose? Yes these actual aspects could be subjective if you like or dislike them. But its asking why they are there from an objective point of view. As said perhaps the video didn't do as well as it could to emphasize this. Personally I quite like the Milgauss. I'm not a huge fan of Rolex but I appreciate everyone's opinions and rights to love whatever watch they want.
@@bradyreid9270 I think the thought process is there and if you listen to the questions posed in the video they are valid. I think perhaps the style and clarity isn't the best and potentially labelling the Milgauss as the "worst watch" (he doesn't say it actually is) is a step too far. It's a video more about the purpose of aspects of the watch. But then again who knows, think we all see these from our own point of view, so I'm just giving mine that's all. I could be wrong and according to my girlfriend I often am!
@@77cjam I understand...same thing....according to my wife :-)
Watching this with a blue dial Milgauss on my wrist and the black dial one in the rotating case, I was almost ready to jump in the comments and type a dissertation.
Im betting that the crystal is green because its probably doped with some compound or metal for magnetic shielding...
I want one of these SO hard.
You forgot to mention that for a watch advertised as anti magnetic, it gets beat by the Omega Seamaster comfortably in that regard too.
except no one wants that piece of shit.
I think this is the most interesting watch Rolex makes, but that's subjective. After watching this video I am still saving up for one. Feel free to send me yours if you don't like it.
I think I must be the only one who finds Rolex hate refreshing. The small line up in the Rolex roster is getting quite boring for me, whilst as any watch lover I can appreciate that they make a good watch, they are simply no more than that. Omega have always been a personal favourite of mine despite some wacky watches in the range, its nice to see new designs that blow the Rolex counterparts away....
I just got mine last week and I love it! From the green crystal, to the orange lightening bolt to the minutes by fives (whatever that is called, not sure the official term) and the fact that it doesn't scream ROLEX! when you walk into a room with it, i love this watch.
Disagree. Purchased one because of the work I do. When Rolex released this watch, there weren’t as many magnetically sealed watches around, and I got tired of resetting my datejust every day. The green glass actually looks rather smart most of the time. Suggesting this is the worst watch in the world, and criticising it for its quirky second hand and green glass is overreaching. But in relation to price, prices are different all over the world. In the year they re-released these, in Australia they were retailing at AU$19k, or EU9k. I was able to purchase mine from a Swiss retailer for around AU$8.5k, which was about EU4k at the time. An oyster perpetual was EU3.6k at the time. So people’s subjective feelings and limited stock might have attributed to the increase in price.
What?, the Milgaus is glorious.
Do you own one?

I don't think he bashed the watch at all. Did you see the video until the end? His reasoning is that sometimes, even if something is called or deemed objectively bad, or ugly, or whatever, it doesn't keep it from being appreciated, seeming unique and ultimately working out. Like acquired taste. I might have been naive, but whatever negativity existed went away at the end of the video.
“objectively i dont like how it looks”
Ya he gives himself away with the constant use of the word. Honestly, it's like saying no homo after blowing you bro.
Calling a mechanical watch the worst because of the superficiality of design choices is as ironic as it gets
