Well said. Why would Rolex feel the need to cheapen their watches like that?

Because otherwise it looks exactly like a regular Submariner. A substantial segment of Rolex's customer base (not all, but a substantial segment) buys Rolex to show off how much they spent rather than because they're looking for top quality. It's a Vanity thing. People that spend that extra few grand want some visual indication of it.

All I wear is my Milgauss green crystal LV The rest of my collection has been gathering dust...

I love it!

I have been tracking it since its release but refused to pay 150% more than suggested retail as was the case when first released (and the months after).


Not sure if people think its fake. I really could care less. I love it

Most people are too focused on the edition 9 headphones I wear when commuting and at work to notice my watch

I have seen a few Milgausses and they do look nice but I hate the second hand. The lightening bolt looks tacky to me.

I think my sister wears Milgauss too. She has other one but I am not sure what model the other one is.
I personally don't really like Milgauss, it looks like Seiko Spirit but some Spirit looks better.

Now if you excuse me, I have to change my Tshirt to Flame Resistance Armor that absorbs 90% of fire damage.

Heh. Nah, to each his own. I think the Milgausses are a bit small, although I like the green crystal one. The Explorer II is awesome, though. I just can't pull that off.

I think I'd rather have equivalent-priced Ball watch than a Milgauss.

The Rolex that I like is the simpler looking ones

Milgauss? Here's what I found instead:

The Sinn 244Ti. 80,000 A/m magnetic protection (same as Milgauss, IIRC), titanium case and bracelet, and a COSC certified chronometer. Unfortunately out of production, but they're fine watches and I love mine.

Not a hater, but I'd never wear a Rolex. I think they look nice, but they're just too conspicuous. I don't want people to know what watch I'm wearing and I don't want the attention a Rolex would draw. Same reason my Montblanc fountain pen stays in the drawer. I like it well enough, but I don't like people noticing it. A Parker 51 goes with me 99% of the time.

On the other hand, if someone notices that I'm wearing a Sinn and knows what it is, that person will probably be fantastic to talk to.

I love that Sinn! What great styling!!

That Sinn 244Ti is dope. Beautiful!

Sorry for the spelling mistake. Thanks for pointing it out. I hope it did not cause any confussion

It was my understanding that any Rolex with a Parachrom Blu hairspring was anti-magnetic. They are adding it to the entire line, I think. My Daytona has a Parachrom Blu hairspring that isn't actually blue.

Here's some research you can check out. I have an F series Daytona with thin hands and long minute markers at 27 and 33. Any fan of the Daytona should check it out! Here.
