I don't get the NATO obsession at all
Here you own a watch with the most comfortable steel bracelet on the market and what do you do? Prefer a NATO strap?!?! Come on! That's ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I do understand that one would play around for a bit with the NATO straps because it's fun to change the 'view' of your watch (see below). But in the long run the steel bracelet is the most comfortable and how it is meant to be. And if you really don't like the polished center links there is a good solution. Bring the bracelet to a Rolex Service Center and tell them to BRUSH the middle links. Problem solved.
Orange=good!
Green is better!
Steel is best:

beautifully taken Millgaus pics btw Amanico!
Rolex Milgaus 116400 GV: Some old pictures, and thoughts.
The Green Milgauss is one of the very few Rolex in the modern production which I like a lot, along with the GMT II Ceramic bezel ref 116710, and the Yachtmaster ref 16622. While the GMT and the Yachtmaster can be considered as nice watches, the Milgauss, ...
I completely agree...
an absolutely superb modern Rolex! I like it a lot - the right amount of colour! ..and on a soft black Nato, or an unpolished oyster would be the strap combo for me. Thanks for the excellent photo summary. Cheers Tony
Thanks for your feedback, Tony. Yes, a good quality black Nato would do it.
Or, as you suggested, an unpolished Oyster bracelet. This is the only detail I don't like on this modern Milgauss. As well as the Rolex Rolex Rolex rehaut... Best, Nicolas.
I also put a Nato strap on mine
It is not a "green" Milgauss (not fan of green) but a black one: I didn't like the new Milgauss with the blue dial. I think that green and blue are not a very appealing combo. Thanks for the post. Fx ...
Brilliant post !
we have common taste for some modern Rolex models and I think you have captured the charms of the Milgauss GV
Your Rolex Milgauss on NATO is a winning combination.
It brings out the playfulness of the watch with its unusual green glass and orange lightning bolt seconds hand. I like it. Bill
Agreed!
Thank you, Nicolas! If I was to break from the Jaeger-LeCoultre I have my eye on for my next fine watch (more about that over in that forum sometime...) I would definitely be looking at a Milgaus GV. I feel like the Milgaus and especially the GV is the wa...
+1 on most, if not all.. Milgauss GV is one of my favorites of the moderns.. :)
.. together, now since Jan of this year, with the GMT 116710 BLNR, the " Bruiser" with the ceramic bezel, the special steel type, etc. (as I have reported here in my 3 posts about City Strolls & 3 choices) In fact, for a long time, next to my trustworthy ...
Thanks for your input, hs.
One funny thing, though... I love to wear the Milgauss on a Nato, but after a while, I change for the bracelet, and I do love it too... The Nato makes me love the bracelet, and vice versa. Funny, no? Best, Nicolas
The case dominates when it's on the bracelet. I think the dial gets the space it deserves
when you put it on the NATO. Would love to see it on a dark leather strap. This is one of my favorite contemporary Rolexes. The cleanest design I can think of in their tool watches. I sometimes get hung up on the lightning bolt, and don't know if that wou...
Thanks for yout input, watchthatman. Yes, I think you nailed it, about strap and bracelet.
As for the Milgauss GV and the YM being your fav modern Rolex.... What can I say? Other than,... Bravo! :) Best, Nicolas
