Rolex Milgauss

Reliable, and Rolex goes beyond with its superlative chronometer attestation, testing the watch as a fully assembled product and guaranteeing it to ru...

And I suspect this watch is actually resistant to several thousand gauss.

In my opinion, subs are great, GMTs are cool, Daytona’s are obviously amazing, but the Milgauss is something else entirely. Clearly a Rolex, but different than anything they do. The lightning bolt second hand gets me every time, it’s so out of the box for them. It’s also a flawless watch.

I had a choice between several different watches for my graduation gift (graduating from college and going into human rights law) and I narrowed my choice down to the Explorer 1, Explorer 2, and the Milgauss. At the end of the day, we found a really good deal on a (slightly) used Explorer 1 with box, papers, and active warranty with Rolex. I have several other watches (tag carrera and an omega seamaster) but wow. This watch is incomparable.

Rolex Milgauss - My first expensive watch, a gift to myself for achieving a couple of pretty significant milestones in my life. It’s best feature in my opinion is the green sapphire. When it catches the sun from an angle it’s stunning; It acts a little like fibre optics, with a green halo effect through the crystal.

I do think it will be a desired piece in the future. Rolex Milgauss - Black Face Reference 116400GV, picked it up in San Remo Italy on vacation with my girlfriend.

Rolex Milgauss - What more can be said. I’ve had this for a couple of years and it’s still my firm favourite and daily wearer. It’s a little scratched up now but still looks fabulous. (+3s/d).

Especially when I am working in the MRI field. I’ve been rotating the Milgauss with my Grand Seiko SBGN every day for close to 3 years and really impressed with how it still hold up, looking very minty albeit all the scratches and knocks it received. Especially when the sunlight hit, the dial is really on another level, the steel still hold its shine and brush polish really well. So doubters on Rolex finishing , I can attest that their finishing is really solid and the 914L steel is not just a marketing gimmick.
