Milgauss- proven unpopular?

April 17, 2015

I remember being very enthusiastic about the re-invented Milgauss watches in 2007. I am a regular visitor of several forums, and most active on the Dutch forum, as writing/reading posts in your mother language still works best. It occured to me that only few forum visitors/members have a Milgauss in their collection (or as their only watch). When I just visited the sales corner of ‘das R-L-X forum, I noticed quite a few for sale, including those with the green saphire crystal called Milgauss GV.Although the odds were different one year ago, the Milgauss doesn t seem to be an immediate hit as I expected it would be. The period where prices were over the list price is long gone already, except for the green sapphire model I guess. The regular models (white and black dial) start below 4000 euro. Although I don t care much about block buster watches, I was clearly wrong about the future of the Milgauss. If you look at watches as an investment, it might be a good bet anyway. watches that do no sell very well at this moment, are probably the most sought-after watches in the (far) future. Think former Milgauss, 1960s and 1970s Daytona and (more or less) the Oyster-Quartz models. That is at least what I hope for with respect to my precious Yacht-Master ?? Oh, anyway… for those who have a modern Milgauss, enjoy your watches! Milgauss 116400, a LNIB for sale at Bernard Watch Co for less than list..Interesting book on this subject:
