PPN Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I don't see much posted on here about the Milgauss, but it seems to me that even the best "ultimate" versions out currently still look terrible, especially on the GV version. The caseback, bracelet, clasp and crown all look great. But the green sapphire is really lacking. On the gen, there isn't supposed to be a green reflection when you look at an angle, and the inside edge of the crystal isn't supposed to have the green tint. It's the outside edge that looks green. Also, no one seems to be able to get the orange lighting second hand right yet... Am I alone in noticing these flaws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 The Milgauss GV represented on Rolex's home page is a computer generation and does not represent the physical watch at all. It's the marketing department's wet dream. Not real. If you go to the Rolex Forums and look at gens for sale, you will see that the crystal is Coke Bottle Green Gen GV for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've handled gens, and the green color on the crystal is too far down on the reps. The shade of green is also too deep. Like you mentioned, it should be coke bottle green. The GV reps really need a significant improvement on the crystals - right now, they are just a tell tale giveaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPN Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I must say, though, that the caseback engravings and bracelets are done pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
