I've been looking for a green crystal Milgauss and obviously can't find one! it appears that only 10 have come to this country so far...are they set to be the 21st centuary Daytona?

Only 10 in the country?? Wow - definitely looking like the "next" Daytona - maybe harder to get??

i was told 20 came in to the uk, since launch. RRP was about 3.2K GBP, but there was a recent price increase, so slightly more, i have heard of one being offered at 8K GBP, and that sold.

Crazy, nice watch, there are a few non green crystal ones, availble in the Goldsmiths chain, i was informed on Wednesday when discussing avalibility with them.

Looks like www.watches.co.uk have got hold of one... POA as expected, so anyone who is in the market for one of these (not my cup of tea) ought to give them a call and find out what they're looking for.

The SS Daytona has always sold well above list for ages even though there are a lot around (well I see loads on the train to the City and around the area, and there are always loads on sale at dealers, all at massively marked up prices... cartel anyone?), the green Milgauss seems like it'll be a much more limited edition - unless Rolex sell them every year, it's likely to fall into the 'rare / collectors' category, rather than the Daytona which has become, ridiculously, overpriced due to irrational demand (ex-Daytona owner speaking here)

I've been on a list for around six months, was told there wasn't an horrendously long wait at the time.
Have since heard Rolex are having difficulties with the supply of the green crystal.

Whether this is true or whether its Rolex manipulating supply a la Daytona - who knows........
