Rolex Milgauss Anniversary Edition

Just picked it up this morning and I thought it would be a lot "cooler". Not too sure if I want to keep this one or not. The green crystal 'opaques' the dial a lot more than expected. Not sure how will the luminosity be affected at night. On one hand, its cool to have a limited edition watch, but in the other hand, it does not drive me nuts like a RG Rubberclad does. Having gotten used to 42+mm watches, all of the sudden 40mm looks sort of small. I am also missing the date on it (as was the case with the Daytonas, hence they are now gone). Gonna think about this one for a bit before I decide what to do...

Another pic.

Marc: have you seen the premiums on the older ones? You think these will be different? I had no idea on the premiums until yesterday!

Plastic still on I see. Ive been waiting for one, but I dont really know why lol. If I had an AP that thing would never get worn. Nice for the limited factor but thats it for me.

Plastics are all still in place. I just put it on at the AD for sizing and for the pics I took. Need to make my mind up quickly on this one.

Hmmmm I am looking forward for mine…
I think it’s a very good looking time piece and the first of its kind/size from Rolex.
OK, I will not compare it to say the AP Team Alinghi or the PP Nautilus 5712/A because it is not an extraordinary piece but it is a special piece…

Discount offered by Authorized Dealers?

Hi, there,
I'm new to the Rolex world, and I am planning on purchasing the Rolex Milgauss anniversary timepiece from an authorized dealer in VA (I live in MD) within the next month. I was wondering, is it possible to get a small (5-10%) discount from an AD? The salesperson seemed somewhat hesitant to offer it, but I have read numerous posts on the internet claiming that most AD's will offer a small discount. Thanks in advance for any info. -Tom

You probably won't get a discount easily but it definitely is possible. I got mine about a month ago with a 10% discount. I love the watch. Good luck!
