I get what you mean, but once you understand the history of this model it makes more sense.BennyBeaver said:
Nice looking watch, but something about the lightning bolt second hand seems a bit gimmicky. It’s giving some Pikachu vibes.Doogles said:I've come full circle, picked up the Z-Blue Dial Milgauss after previously owning the black.
The color combo of green Sapphire glass, orange lightning bolt and blue sunburst kicks ass.
It's a Rolex that doesn't take itself too seriously and that's why I love it.
The original Rolex Milgauss was designed in tandem with CERN scientists back in the 1950s, who's exposure to electromagnetic fields ruined the timing mechanisms in their watches. The milgauss is heavy for its size because the movement is encased in a faraday cage which keeps it from getting magnetized.
The lightning bolt is actually from the original design, it's a nerd watch.
The OG from 1956

It’s an interesting heritage for that watch. I did Google it up before posting to find out what Milgauss was and what the lightening bolt symbolizes.Doogles said:

I knew that I’d get some push back from some of our more unrestrained poasters (hi @purplebaze) with my less than 100% complimentary post and appreciate your Nebraska classy response @doogles.

Nice timepiece. Second hand reminds me of Ready Kilowatt.BennyBeaver said:I've come full circle, picked up the Z-Blue Dial Milgauss after previously owning the black.

No chance I wouldn't scratch the fuck out of that watch within 3 days of acquiring it, though.
I'm rough on things. I know. -

To me, it's the Rolex that doesn't look like a Rolex, if that makes any sense.PurpleBaze said:

I don’t know shit but the article seems to suggest a sizable downturn in the prices of High end watches right now…
My thought is that fine art and prized articles of fashion are always in demand... demand ebbs and flows, the dawgs may bark but the caravan continues kind of thing ~ interesting to keep track of
the details. Maybe this is an opportunity to buy a few things at better prices for those that may be interested.
