Recognizability. (If that's a word). Rolex is one of the most recognizable luxury brands in the world. Just like Louis Vuitton or Ferrari. Everyone knows what they look like and their logo. Very few know Mouawad or Bugatti.

A lot of the comperably expensive watches aren't recognizable by the masses. It could be stupid expensive or an Affliction knock-off.

One of my favorite looking rolexes. Should have got one when I had the chance.

Sure, but why that watch and not another?


I think you can ask that same question about anything that is popular and in demand. There are some rational and irrational answers to that question. A lot of it is probably people wanting in on the hype. The illusion of excellence or the appearance they have access to scarce goods others don't probably plays a part in a lot of purchases.

True. It's like if I brought a bottle of Blanton's and Weller 12 to a wedding. People would lose their *****

"Look at the horse on top! I saw that on John Wick, thats the bourbon from Yellowstone!"

If I brought a bottle of GTS, people would be like "What is that? This is like gasoline!'

Clout and appearance.

You're just not a 10 year old Saudi Prince / Princess or a child of an Asian millionaire that can appreciate it.

Exactly. Rolex has to market beyond old white dudes.

There is money to be made.

This would have been nice if it was for Autism Awareness and donated a bunch of money to foundations…….without that. This watch does appear to be interesting

Agree. I haven't seen anything linking it to autism awareness officially, but I have seen comments about it elsewhere as well.

Lots of Milgauss hitting the FB group today with a nice price pop trying to take advantage of the discontinuation.

Agreed. The teal face is gorgeous. Do like that the Daytona got a transparent case back. That was a nice add.

FWIW: there is a huge pushback on the puzzle piece symbology and Autism Speaks in general in the neurodivergent community. The thought is that people on the Autism Spectrum aren't just missing a piece. They are who they are, and that is different than someone that is neurotypical. There isn't a missing piece that needs to be replaced, but rather they should be accepted for who they are, because being on the spectrum is just the hand they were dealt.

Yeah. I was in Project Sunshine and worked with special needs families in college. We use to offer free date nights to give couples a few hours away from their kiddos and focus on each other for a change. That community will always have a special place in my heart. That being said, It's been a minute so the puzzle debate is need to me as well. But I appreciate you share that.

I guess we should've realized the Milgauss was on borrowed time when the Air King came out in a new case last year.

Two words: Paul Newman

As a Milgauss owner, I guess this helps me on the value front not that I have any intention of ever selling it.

No, and I never will. Dislike that look immensely. To each his own.

Never seen anyone post a pic wearing one like that on here so I don't think my opinion is all that unusual.

69% of the wrist checks on this thread are the same three options of subs being worn by dudes in pleated khakis
