Make this go viral, I want to buy one of these watches on the cheap.
My exact thoughts.
They have gone up in price along with the other steel sports Rolexes. Not as much but are now selling for preowned within 10% of new.
They retail for £6300 new but you can pick up one a couple of years old for £5000 or under with a bit of haggling.
I’m afraid the commentator is right but then the only good value Rolex is the Oyster Perpetual!
I think that's what he's trying to do. Headass 😂😂😂
@@yobolion Isn't this a perpetual as well?
"In a world full of Submariners be a Milgauss"
@@grahamcarr17 they are also overrated lol
"And the world will perpetually be your oyster"
Amen.
Be a Oysterquartz
@@AvroBellow good line for an ad
All I could think while watching this video was: “Oh, boy. The comments section will be a good read.” 😂😂😂
This is exactly what I thought about 😂😂😂😂😂
And it doesn't disappoint :)
The Slender Wrist What’s up, Alessandro? Getting another video ready?
@@eyeheartsushi2212 Haha yes, you guys are RESTLESS :) Sunday, Toilet Oak Review... probably the worst watch ever ;)
The Slender Wrist Hahaha don’t say that about the steel G-Shock 😉
This is my favorite Rolex. Bravo for being different, for having the balls to juxtapose fun with stodginess. That is exactly what will make this watch an all-time classic. A tinted crystal and lightning bolt hand. Come on. How cool is that? How daring and beautiful. I applaud this one.
Yeah, I think he just hates the look of this watch, and can't seem to justify the cost based on his own experience and reviews. I know very little about luxury watches, and have never experienced one. I simply enjoy learning about movements, and the associated brands, as I hope to one day own a modestly priced automatic that fits not only my budget, but suits my appreciation for mechanical and aesthetic design. I'd like to know as much going in as I can before taking the plunge. The first time I saw this watch I thought it was beautiful. I like the colour scheme, and the green glass. Some may say that's a sign of my lack of experience/knowledge. Still, I appreciate the visual reference to the origin piece, and the original purpose of the 6541. It offers a slight variation to available Oyster aesthetics. Is it worth the price jump? I'm not sure. Is it the worst watch? Heck no!
I'm typically not a fan of Rolex watches (not that I could ever afford one), but for some reason I enjoy the look of this model.
Not that I'll likely ever have the funds for one, but the Milgauss is literally the only Rolex watch I'd ever actually want to own. The magnetic shielding, the story behind it's design, and not to mention the crystal is one of my favorite colors, and this watch just looks cool to me.
Everything you mentioned about this watch, making it "the worst," is exactly what i feel makes it great. Rolex rarely deviates from their tried and true formula and when they do it's a breath of fresh air. They are always so serious with their designs and seeing something a bit different from them is what makes this a true collectors piece in my opinion. If i had the financial means, i'd buy one right now.
Agreed
depends on the one wearing it
This is actually my dream watch.
I've wanted a Milgauss for years and will have it in May :)
@@johnd7564 nice
It does look like Grand Seiko
Mine too…the more u look at it…the green dial and the sapphire…the more you fall for it..I hope it gets enough bad rap so that the prices would go down and becomes available 😂
I love my Milgauss for exactly the reasons the narrator hates it.
he doesnt hate it, watch the whole video
I really like it too...might pick one up now lol
I feel you bro...and I proudly own and wear one!
@@flyer7799 You should. Especially if you work with sources of magnetism. I just LOVE mine...in fact, I must admit it is the only Swiss watch I own. I had decided years ago that I would only buy watches from the east, and own a shitload of Russian and Japanese wristwatches, but I just HAD to buy a Milgauss. It's just an amazing watch, and it most definitely does not deserve all the hate it gets just because "it's not an ordinary Rolex" and because "it's overpriced".
Lol
I think it takes a certain geeky person to appreciate the niche it fills. I personally love it, finding it to have a value in filling that electric themed anti magnetic spot nothing really does. plenty of people wear divers without any diving aspiration but I'm sure for the scientist or tradesman this holds stronger intrinsic value.
Is it just me, or did Rolex put the Milgauss on the front page of their website as a FU to this video ?
Every point was subjective. This video is objectively not a good one.
TheSuperStrain gg
The first one was subjective? Tell me how is subjective bad to have two watches that are time only having a 2k difference subjectively bad? I think that was pretty objective!
Lol
@@gilzineto You seem to forget that the no date submariner uses an inferior movement to this (3132 > 3130) while being more expensive and getting praise from this very channel. Same goes for the Explorerer that uses the same movement as Milgauss and OP. This video is useless and stupid.
@@wurfag It has nothing to do with the moviment dude, you need to learn about added value! Its more expensive for the fact its a diver, it has more function, it takes more materials to make, it has a bigger demand, it have the feature of being a divers watch and its able to sustain bigger preasures, and so on! Thats not the case with the Milgauss, especially when it comes to the biggest factor of them all: Demand!
I don't really think it is "objectively" a bad watch at all. It might be overpriced, but really, everything you described basically screams subjectivity to me. I'm not the biggest fan of it, but I can see how people like it. The lightning bolt aswell as the green glass make it unique and I kind of like that.
all in for the zblue and green crystal, idc about the second hand but its fun i suppose. i want one.
Clue: "Devious" Iightning bolts.
@@rumblejungle5590 that's subjective

Your reasonings to dislike the watch are literally the reasons people love this thing. I'm glad I just put an order in for one, especially after watching this.
This video made me fall in love with this watch. Exactly 8 months later, really took that long, I finally found a Rolex Boutique that sold me one!
Mine forever!
Congrats, enjoy!
Lucky you! I've been on the waiting list to buy since a year now😩
Congratulations my friend 😁🍻
Niko bro your on the wrong waitlist, these are everywher
fuck yeah! Great buy
This was expert trolling, you must be laughing your head off at a lot of the comments.
Indeed! And, indeed.
It was irony on irony...but disagree with point that recipe is bad, still looks good to me in specs, I absolutely love mine
@@alanwayte432 I think on paper it really doesn’t make sense - what is the purpose of the green tint on this professional scientific watch and why a lightning bolt on a watch that now offers standards levels of resistance- But as a whole it’s a great watch
This love-hate relationship with the Milgauss model is what will make them collectible in some years.
The Milgauss GV is the only Rolex produced with tinted crystal though
@@joeyjoejoejrshabadoo4311 Just try and find one at your local AD, I can be sure that you will be directed to a waiting list.

Agreed!
I just bought a white dial Milgauss, I might have a good wee investment as I bought low, but if not I still like it.
@@neoth8647 good point. It also appeals to non-Rolex like me.
"...a nugget of purest green." Oh, Edmund, can it be true? That Lord Percival is alive and well and designing watches for Rolex???
I suggest you make the explanation you're about to give phenomenally good.
Loved that little Blackadder reference 😁
British sarcasm is an acquired taste, and often flies higher than those looking on.
😏
I agree. Maybe British humor is a little more sophisticated than ours. American humor seems more naive. Straightforward.
Too bad there’s no sarcasm here then
Did the narrator consider he’s a knucklehead when looking at this watch?
@sfairraid 13 Really?
I dislike rolexes. I _subjectively_ like this one more than most. No cyclops eye and the bolt is a cool detail on an otherwise quiet-ish watch. Sue me.
P. S. Milgauss is not a meme
Rolexes are overpriced plain jane watches
@@levedia Your brain is plain flat
This was obviously filmed before Audemars Piguet released the Code 11.59 range.
You mean Audemars Wellington?
Indeed. LOL
Stefan Roser 😂😂😂😂😂
Feraldo Rozanandy BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
I bet it was!!
Objectively speaking, this is the least-well argued video from the best CZcams watch channel.
Are you kidding!? It’s pure philosophy bliss in this video! Objective and subjective beauty are complex concepts wonderfully exemplified here in this video!! Listen to it about 20 times, write it down, and you will see it.
The watch design was done by breaking Rolex’s own “rules” of elegant and sober design, so to speak. In this, it’s the worst of its own kind. It does not follow a straight line - it breaks it! No such a thing can be named “better” or even “good”. Than, it’s “the worst”.
But than, that’s precisely the point. Sometimes, what our emotional guts want is to see the line or “perfection” broken!
That’s the appeal of this Ugly watch - it’s anarchists/revolutionary statement of “I don’t care” - as an orange Lightning bolt right there in YOUR face!
lonesome piper elegant and sober in the same sentence as Rolex don’t really make much sense unless you’re talking Cellini
The Milgauss has been my grail watch for years. This vid is some hot take clickbait BS. Unless you're trolling, in which case I got trolled.
I love this watch simply because its history aligns with my own. I am not a diver, I am not a pilot, I am not an explorer; I am an engineer. I got my Masters working with MRI technology. This watch was made for me, even if I rarely am around fields so strong these days.
its one of the most beautifully simplistic and yet eye-catching watches ever produced, it's an gem. i love it
That’s _crazy_ ...
The Milgauss is legitimately the only Rolex I even like. Rolex designs are overall too boring for me.
oyster perpetual milgauss
RaDD C only the air king is uglier. Everything else rolex makes is beautiful. Milgauss is just ok
navarrolevel7 this is ur opinion i really dont think every rolex model looks good
yachtmaster is the ugliest Rolex, and a dog in the sales figures.
every company has their spin on the submariner. your right, they are over done. still beautiful though.
Oh c'mon.. you're respected enough.. no need of using a clickbait like this
This Rolex has personality. And it took guts to create a teal dial.
“It is when you start picking out the finer details that the watch starts falling apart.” Goes on to hate on the watch based solely on looks not realizing what it’s heritage or functionality is.
And didn’t he say something about taste? I think the watch is awesome, and my favorite color is green.
It's actually one of my favorite Rolex, I love the combination of colors and lightning bolt shape
agree
Yes! Rolex have so many boring watches so this one sticks out, saw one on a custom green ostrich strap = watchporn!
Agreed, I personally love the Milgauss due to its Design - unassuming at first glance but exciting in the details like the green chrystal and the second hand. It´s my favourite Rolex, the one I´m willing to save up for.
Agree, I own one and all I ever get is compliments, but, tbh, as long as I like it and don’t shove my opinion about it down anyone else’s throat, I don’t really care if no one else likes it. End of.
M F me too about the compliments .
Now that is a Rolex I actually really like. Thanks for highlighting its best characteristics.
Those were three of the least compelling reasons to hate a watch that I could imagine.
Duncan Dorris indeed! I usually agree and enjoy what this guy says on these videos. But this time he pulled a faux pas!
I didn't understand this video at all either, you aren't alone.
Clearly no one has paid attention to what he said at the end. Despite elements which, taken in isolation, could objectively seem bad (the price, the second hand, etc.), the whole is actually quite cool. This is his conclusion. And it could not be anything else, given that these guys sell watches.
@@carloc8763 - that was a statement meant to hedge against his, frankly asinine, rant meant to be click bait. To his credit ... I clicked, so it worked.
@@carloc8763 thanks for explaining
Each to his own . I’m not a fan of Rolex styles in general , but this one is a beautiful exception. I love how the green crystal sets off the sky blue face . The colors work together in a lovely unexpected way . The gold minute hand and logo further enhance by contrasting with the cool ice colors - pure genius ! I would own this watch in a heartbeat 💗.
I know this is an old video, but I had to click. How can a Milgauss be the worst watch ever when Hublot exists? 🤣 the milgauss is an icon and I find a lot of physicians/researchers love their milgauss ❤️
This was my first ever rolex and the first watch over 1000 euros I ever bought. Call me a weirdo but this is still my favorite and brings me so much joy every time I see it. It plays witch light and shifts colours so much that it's like wearing a different watch each time the lighting changes. It can be a bit of a hazard in traffic though, since I can easily get mesmerized by its beauty while driving. First rolex and the only one guaranteed never to leave my possession.
How much did you pay??
Well, if you don't want yours, then I'll be glad to love it for you...
Same
Kraken1000 I’m willing to ignore the lightning bolt 😉
I actually like the lightning bolt and absolutely love the green!
imo its the best time only watch
That's the point of this channel: To advertise the watches they sell. You want it? Go to watchfinder.co.uk and buy it lol
Interesting thoughts...and some good points. Ultimately, the message I took from this video is very complimentary towards the Milgauss. It’s a brilliant watch that defies conventional judgement.
That's about the size of it, and very good it was, too.
After years and years of searching and planning I found this to be my perfect watch. I've had it for years now and it never ceases to make me happy. I wear it every day an it's so unassuming that it's like a secret luxury that almost no one knows I have. I have had maybe 2 people (clearly Rolex-knowledgable) comment on it. I bought an Apple watch a bit ago and that lasted about a year before I abandoned new tech for old tech and my Milgauss was back on my wrist. As others have noted, the commentary you made is exactly why this watch is so fantastic. Yes, it's very odd for a Rolex. Yes, it's a weird mix of colors. Yes, it's got no real practical advantage over an Oyster Perpetual (I don't plan on wearing this near an MRI machine). So is it the worst watch ever? Not on this wrist it isn't.
This is a beautiful timepiece. It has a practicality to it. A scientists’ watch one that works with electromagnetic fields. I know I’d be looking into this watch if I were Network Engineer or find myself working in a server room.
I dont think that a server room has enough gauss to afect an average watch, try the switchgear
I doubt this Rolex would be protected despite being claimed antimagnetic. It’s only rated at 1000 gauss, compare that to the Omega Seamaster which is 15,000 gauss, which is MRI level of antimagnetic
aplha m will get triggered :D
5 reasons why the Rolex Milgauss is better than the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
🤣🤣🤣
yeah alpha m would say, "you see guys! I've made my point. worst watch goes to milgaus, which is rolex, that's why you should get a mvmt instead!"
Who?
Despite loving Aron Marino’s style, fitness and grooming expertise, he can’t talk about watches. I love the man, but he talk about MVMT to «help us», he should have talked about seiko watches, but they don’t sponsor him. I love the guy, but youtubers like him shouldn’t talk about watches. Just to big of a community for anyone to handle
"But rarely does a person eat the recipe."
Good line.
Now wait a minute... are you saying that someone HAS eaten a recipe?? Now this is a story I must know!
Ehhhh... The Milgauss is actually pretty slick.
Zune was great
This watch is for the astro-physicist who just got $20M grant approved
After owning 200 watches in my time, the Rolex Milgauss GV is the best of them all, the most underrated watch I have ever owned.
Wtf the milgauss is an absolute beaut
yep its so beautiful
@Truthfears Guilty so u might know NOTHING about watches
@Truthfears Guilty sure kiddy
@Truthfears Guilty u're trash
Watch the whole video big fella. He likes the watch...
This video is weird, in that it pulls shade over what is a perfectly good watch to begin with. The Milgauss...worst watch ever made? Far from it, there are plenty of other candidates for that title...
The twist is in the last sentence. Sometimes the watches we buy make no sense. That's the beauty of it. It's yours to decide
Oh dear, that is... utterly horrendous.
A shame...
I can take it off your hands for you ;)
I mean, I appreciate the details of the Milgauss such as the green crystal and polishing on the bezel and bracelet. While it is similar to the Oyster Perpetual, I think the engineering and cool factor that comes with the electromagnetic shield makes up for the $3,000 price differential. I would be far more mad if I purchased a carbon Richard Mille only to realize I paid for a house and got a plastic watch.
All being said, I hope this video drives down the prices of the Milgauss on the grey market because the purchase would feel so much sweeter near entry level Oyster price.
Funny enough, these are all the reasons why i love the milgauss. Its my favorite rolex because its different from typical rolex. The green sapphire is unique and its totally unnecessary. They did it "because we can". The lightning bolt hand is quirky and fun. Its the rolex im willing to sit on a list and wait for. Its not practical. Omega watches are significantly more gauss resistant. The OP is thinner and cheaper. But the milgauss is unique and its just not like everything else you see.
I like this channel but I'm not digging all these click baity titles and negativity recently.
I think the British tongue in cheek humour is a bit lost in this video, gathering from all the negative comments. He isn't saying it's the worst watch, he's saying that only objectively the Milgauss is the worst watch, but because people buy watches with their heart rather than their head, the Milgauss is also beautiful subjectively.
I guess you could only understand it if you know British humour in this instance.
@Yanny One I disagree. I thoroughly enjoyed it, no different to what he usually uploads with click-baity titles. I understand this style might not be to some people's taste but I still enjoyed it.
They sold out to Richemont. Once that aspect of integrity went away, so did others.
@@gyang333 no... Their recent Rolex videos were just as good.
@Yanny One I don't need you to care... It's a matter of opinion. I'm trying to ensure people understand that he isn't bashing the Milgauss.
It's like the Nissan Juke, objectively that's an ugly car; weird angles, strange headlights, awkward stance etc. But millions of people love it! Subjectively they think it looks awesome.
That's what the narrator is trying to convey. It's not a bad video per se, it's just that some people don't understand the point he's trying to make and is therefore miscommunicated. I love all the videos from watchfinder. Epic!
I love how 99% of the people are replying to strictly to the title. As if they didn't watch the video.
True. To be fair, you could watch about 90% of the video and still think it was a hit piece. Plot twist at the end was great.
People are retarded
His individual points were all dumb, though, not persuasive at all. Comes off as him trying to force a video with an interesting title.
I’m currently at five minutes, 41 seconds and thinking to myself “I still love the watch… I love owning it.“. It is very refreshing to know that I do not have to defend anything. Back to watching
He is the king of clickbait. Every video title he does is like this, just controversial clickbait.
I have a Milgauss and I'm not offended at all. I've often thought it's a strange model that's pretty impractical, but any watch over £10 you could describe as impractical. I'm just hoping Rolex will discontinue it soon as I know this model is going to be a future classic and the price will go through the roof!

The Milgauss GV is an enigma wrapped in a mystery contained in a puzzle
The fact this $6,000 Rolex watch is supposed to be worse than a watch picked up at a walmart for $15 is the dumbest shit I ever heard a person say about a luxury brand watchmaker regarding the Milgauss
Probably, the only Rolex I really love.

Then a friend of mine bought one and I tried it .... man, I fell in love with this watch, it made me so happy wearing it that I’m saving to buy one 👍
Milgauss is definitely my favourite Rolex. It may be the seconds hand, the green sapphire, the black and orange highlits or how it all comes together but I love it and nothing is going to change it. I get why people hate it and I agree that it is an acquired taste.
There it is, finally MVMT is better than ROLEX !1!!

Christ, that three minute rhetorical, pseudo-semantic schpeel at the start was painful.
First time i wish this video had no sound.....

Many people didn’t understand that this video is ironic. “The watches we love din’t always makes sense!”

@@alectang1614 British humor is overrated. This video was objectively bad.
The only thing bad about this watch is the cartoonish lightning bolt second hand. That said, some people find it whimsical and fun. To each their own. But the “worst” watch? Never. That title goes to Invicta.
1:19 'No. To be the worst...A watch can't be weird or whacky. That's merely a matter of taste or perhaps the lack of it.'
Really? Why can't a watch be the worst because it is weird or whacky?
2:13 'So what is it that makes the Milgauss worthy of the title.'
Really? Worse than a Hublot that start at around £10,000?
2:21 'There are three reasons why the Rolex 16400-GV could well be the worst watch ever.'
Again. Worse than a Hublot that start at around £10,000?
2:57 'It's not too (the Oyster) dissimilar to the Milgauss which aside from the addition of a magnetic shield around it's similar calibre 3131 doesn't actually offer any additional benefit technically. Yet somehow, the Milgauss costs objectively £2000 more.'
How many other watches apart from the Bremont MBII, Omega Seamaster, IWc's Ingeniuer can withstand 1000 gauss? None of which are cheap.
4:06 'The watch is objectively restrained...And then it isn't.'
That might sound like a cool soundbite but it doesn't make any sense.
This is a unique watch with the anti-magnetism property which is a rare feature in watches and the blue dial is awesome in my opinion.
Such a nonsensical review.
Teddy Baldasarre reviewed the Milgauss and rates it and he knows his stuff.
how can something be objectively bad when you only give subjective reasons?
I is cosc certified so already better than most watches, the colour of the crystal does not impede it's ability to stay scratch resistant and and the seconds hand, lightening bolt or not, works as it should.
The Worst Watch Video Ever made by Watchfinder & Co.
It's all irony...
I actually loved this video. I was really puzzled by so much criticism was being poured on a perfectly nice watch, until 5:39. Then it made sense: It was all about seemingly unappealing parts can become a rather appealing whole. Watch it again. Thumbs up.
that's what I got from it. individually each odd part of the milgauss is wrong but together they form something that surpasses a time keeper. individually They should make up the worst watch in the world but when combined in the right amount they make a beautiful watch
I had to watch it again after your comment, wasn't paying attention towards the end lol.
Yes, was terrific. All the time you were thinking ' well, it really isn't that bad ( ! ) ' and in the end, it wasn't.
I don't think I've ever paid more than $15 or $20 for a watch in my life. I usually wear a cheap Casio or my old Timex. I couldn't imagine spending money on a fancy watch, yet I love watching these videos. I don't even know how I started. But this guy does a great job. No intros, no fluff, just well presented content.
The longer time passes - the more this watch makes sense. Especially in todays crazy market of buyers, sellers and social ‘influencers’ - the Milgauss stands tall in its originality, history and boldness….It also wears incredibly well. Let’s see what 2022 brings for this exceptional piece! Did I hear anyone say discontinued?
No, the worst watch ever were those Air Kings with the Dominos Pizza logo.
wow, I thought you were joking. But these are real!
not if you love pizza
wait until you see mvmt with tiege hanley logo
but they are rare
I was looking at no-date oyster perpetuals on chrono24 and saw a Domino's one. Its ridiculous but I'd totally rock one for fun.
I think I must be the only one who finds Rolex hate refreshing. The small line up in the Rolex roster is getting quite boring for me, whilst as any watch lover I can appreciate that they make a good watch, they are simply no more than that. Omega have always been a personal favourite of mine despite some wacky watches in the range, its nice to see new designs that blow the Rolex counterparts away....
Video starts at 2:21
Another brilliantly written narrative and a beautiful watch. A nuclear physicist friend who has one of these absolutely loves it and it is beautiful in person. Mesmerizing for all the the reasons explained in this video.
I just got mine last week and I love it! From the green crystal, to the orange lightening bolt to the minutes by fives (whatever that is called, not sure the official term) and the fact that it doesn't scream ROLEX! when you walk into a room with it, i love this watch.
Love the watch, and love this video. Masterfully understated trolling of those who don't watch to the end.

This watch is an amazing Rolex timepiece. Rolex stepped out of its oyster shell to make this for all of us who do not want to be traditional.
All y'all who want to be ugly.
stepped lout of its shell to make an even more plain jane watch. GRAND SEIKO all the way.
If I owned one of these I’d be sad about this video too and feel the need to defend it in a comment. Paying thousands for an objectively bad watch would make me depressed as fuck I’d comment defending it to the death if I owned one.
Trynathinka Suttencul How is it ugly? Not everyone wants a boring ass watch that’s been made 1000 times

Clickbait. Milgauss is an exceptional Rolex in a sea of Perpetuals and Daytonas and GMTs. It's the only one I've kept. Subtle, beautiful tool watch!
I own this watch with the black dial and I absolutely love it. I've had it for 8 months and I've yet had to adjust the time. And the worst watch in the world? What an absolutely absurd proposition. Look at some of the ridiculous watch designs being sold out there and you will see that this is really a beautiful and functional watch. And when he said that you can buy the same turquoise dial in an Oyster Perpetual I almost fell off my chair. Those watches are now selling for significantly more than a Milgauss. Don't pay any attention to the price on the Rolex site, you simply cannot buy those watches in any store for the list price. A very misleading post by Watchfinder.
Oh man this guy takes forever to say anything
Jordan V yes. The first two minutes were painful, wondering if he’d ever explain why he thinks the watch is so terrible. I laughed that he felt he had to explain objectivity vs subjectivity. So condescending
@@sinjon I suppose he needed to talk about it more, since most people here seem to not understand his main argument. That to some people, it's a good watch
You guys need to reduce your caffeine intake if a few minutes of talk is considered "forever."
@@sole__doubt True. Why don't they just put every video on 2x speed
Man, some of you guys have the attention span of a goldfish.
"made from a nugget of purest green..." Shades of Percy in Blackadder! : D
THIS! :)
Haha!!
Hopefully this is the first, and last time, I will have to downvote one of your videos.
Byron MacGreggor Same here man, same here
Seriously, the watch looks very nice, has a tiny touch of fun with the second hand and offers a very good resistance to magnetism that we all suffer at airport security check. I understand it’s not the best or the coolest of Rolexs but frankly it’s a cool watch and doesn’t deserve that surprising video
The Milgauss is my dream watch!
If the Milgauss is the worst watch ever... which logically means it has to be the worst Rolex ever... which means collectors will now flock to it as they have flocked to other "unloved" Rolexes of bygone years... which means crazy Milgauss price bubble incoming in 3... 2... 1...
Why is that logical? I've got a degree (social science, postmodernism) and don't see the logic in that.
@@rumblejungle5590 It was a tongue-in-cheek comment about the nature of the Rolex sport watch price bubble, particularly how unloved models all of a sudden become "darlings" when they are discontinued or speculators/flippers latch on to them and drive the secondary market prices sky high.
@@jab92 I believe his response to you was also tongue in cheek. Postmodernism and logic aren't exactly compatible.
@@jab92 & @ Mythicregard. Lol, my stupid comment didn't really merit all that, but thanks.
What?, the Milgaus is glorious.
Do you own one?
@@domnoya4130 I do and its really nice
Even the vdo said that. It's just that a few plp's impaitence thoughts and uneager ears missed it or rather didn't followed it to the end.
@@paris2993 if i may add....this video was just a ramble of contradictions and click bait.
@@shafserious2805 Most of his videos are very much him rambling for the most part with a few bits of good content scattered throughout. The only thing that keeps his channel going is the British accent, I think.
Nailed it, it’s not about what others think, it’s what works for you.
2 minutes & 26 seconds to get to the point looses everyone's interest.. WAY too long!!! ..there are bad reviews but could this one be the worst one ever??
I just recently saw this one on the grey marker and fell in love with it. Oddly enough it being so different from all other Rolex watches is what made me fall in love with it.
am I the only one that finds this watches plainness very appealing? ngl I really like that it doesn't have the mercedes hands/cyclops lens which makes it one of the few rolexs that doesn't look too extra
Totally missed the point of this watch. Magnetic shielding for use in very specific environments, it is a thousand times more selectively constructed than any dive watch.
And you (and a lot of other commenters) missed the point of this video.
Deus Ex Machina Yep. Spoke too soon.
@@tornagawn I applaud you for admitting you made a mistake. Not many among those who publicly judged a video before they finished it would.
@@tornagawn Also, the Milgauss is rated to 1000 Gauss, the Omega Seamaster is rated to 15,000 Gauss. I think the Milgauss is awesome but for a marketed "anti-magnetic" watch, it should be rated much higher than it is.
I don't think he bashed the watch at all. Did you see the video until the end? His reasoning is that sometimes, even if something is called or deemed objectively bad, or ugly, or whatever, it doesn't keep it from being appreciated, seeming unique and ultimately working out. Like acquired taste. I might have been naive, but whatever negativity existed went away at the end of the video.
I’ve had my Milgauss for ages and I love it. Then again, I don’t work in electrical fields. But I love the clean design, and I like the lightening bolt second hand.
why are ALL rolex watches so fugly
