Thanks Nicolas
for great pictures as usual and comparison between the two . I have the milgauss GV and enjoy its quickiness, but having recently fallen in love with vintage watches would love to hunt for a vintage milgauss, vintage gmt's,subs, seadwellers ........ and on and on.
A few quick pics of " Deux Mille ' Gauss
While I had a dinner with some friends, one of them brought with him a very nice early Milgauss, from year 1967, if I am correct. As per a coincidence, I brought some watches with me, and among them, the Green Milgauss. And you won't believe me, but I had...
Great comparison...
...between the vintage and the modern models. I must say that my favourite is the first version of the black dialed Milgauss, with silver writings. Cheers Jeff
Another one I will have to see in the flesh, Jeff
I quickly saw one, recently, but sitll have to get an in depth look on it... These are fascinating Vintage, indeed. A totally different playground, compared to the GMT, Explo or Subs, but not less charming! Best, Niicolas
Thanks, Nicolas,
for the pictures and comparison. Love that vintage Milgauss, especially that silver dial that gives it an overall stainless look. For quite sometime, I had been putting off purchasing a Rolex. Was vacillating between the Yachtmaster platinum and the GMT c...
The YM and the new GMT Ceramic are indeed 2 magnificient watches
I'm fighting hard to not jump on the new GMT with the ceramic bezel, each time I see one in a window shop... What helps me is that I have some urgent priorities to come soon, so I can't allow me to jump on it for the moment but I will get one, this is cer...
Too many coincidences :)
Great comparison and photos. Red tip on the sec hand is a nice touch. Is the vintage a 38mm ? The Green Milgauss has been tugging at me for some time now. Just the way it is for you with the GMTIIC
I know what you mean and feel, Flamenco
I just have to calm down a bit with watch purchases... Wish you all the best in your hunt! Best, Nicolas
It was my pleasure, Thomas
We'll certainly try to do it again soon. Good watches, good boys... What could we ask more? Best, Nicolas
GREAT...
Great pictures u take n nice comparison... Thanks for share together... Best Chung
It was too tempting, Chung
Interesting to see that for some Rolex watches, the evolution is more or less strong... You can see the " air de famille " between a Vintage Sub and a modern, but here, it is quite different. Best, And thanks for your nice words. Nicolas
I prefer a lot of the vintage pieces compared
to the newer versions but in this case.............give me the new! Cheers fernando
But you already own it, you Greedy Man!
The sad news is I thin both are to be hunted... Best, Nicolas
No doubt: they belong to the same family !
Of course the watches are very different but we can find a lot of common details, we would say they share the same DNA... Thanks Nico for the pics. Fr.Xavier
Agreed, FX.
And it is amazing to see how timeless is this old lady. When you think that it is 42 years old... Best, Nicolas
Very nice
Usually I default to the vintage model, but in this case the green Gauss is too nice to be outdone.
Well, Joey
I think that both are to be owned. The Vintage for its classic timeless look, the modern Green for its " exuberance "... Both are great, indeed. Best, my friend. Nicolas

I perfectly understand you, Dreamer
I would love adding a Vintage Milgauss in my collection, too. It is difficult to not fall under the charm of these Vintage. eep us updated in your hunt! Best, Nicolaq
i love the simple, non-quirky elegance of the vintage. the GV, in comparison, looks too
self-consciously elaborated and ornate. I was not completely sure what my difficulty with the GV was until I saw the direct comparison, (thanks). The overdone dial of the GV is perfectly solved by the regular black dial. Now I am more clear on why I chose...
That's why both are great to own
Well, once you get the Vintage, it is really easier to get the modern. And, somehow, strangely, the Vintage makes you love the modern, and vice versa.. Best, Nicolas
that is a nice 1019
nice comparison Nicolas ! Are the hands luminous ? They look very green. These early Milgaus' (even a 1019) are worth considerable money these days. A very under-estimated model. Usually "unknown" to the big public
It seems that all is original, on this Milgauss
But this is a watch I'm discovering, so I'm far from knowing all on it. They are beginning to make their way in my brain... Best, my friend. Nicolas
Waoow Great Stuff"
Hi Nicolas Great pictures and a great "mini review" on old versus new. I used to be only into new watches due to my main focus on the calibers. Thefore have I mainly been focusing on new watches to have all the newest changes to the watch. After reading y...
