frank opinions

Hi there, i was fortunate enough to acquire a milgauss GV at the list price. Here are my opinions:

1. Very Very refreshing! It's been a while since Rolex came up with such a 'modern' and 'young' design. It's a great shift away from the traditional watches they have. The lightnig bolt secod hand with the orange hour indicators at 3, 6, 9 makes it very appealing, especially for the younger collectors. It seems perfect to be worn by a 20 yrs old gentleman or a 55yr old executive, Unlike Rolex presidents and datejusts which are for the older generation.

2. However, i would say it's slightly over-rated? The pictures look fantastic, especially when the green crystal is captured perfectly. However, when i do take it out of my box, it's not as obvious, and stunning as in the pictures. However, i believe under stong sunlight or spotlight, it results the watch being very attractive. But what irks me is that the wach dosen't have a date!!! for most Rolex sports/oyster models,there's usually a date, but the milgauss don't have, which is quite inconvenient at times.

3. Collecting point of view? The watch seems reasonably priced? Slightly below 10K, but sturdy and well made! Compare it to a panerai and i would still say a rolex is better built, and have a much more reasonable and pragmatic list price.  It seems like the milgauss GV is going to be the NEXT big thing in terms of payoff? However, with people buying it just to earn a quick capital investment, i guess it defeats the purpose of buying the watch... because, i belive that you should buy it as you like it, and woul not hesitate to wear it!

In a nutshell, if i were you, i'll just give it a go and see how it looks on your wrist. Let us know your decision!!!
