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 would be a dealbreaker for me. However, I can remember the first time I saw a Milgauss, it made that strong an impression.
Funny, the Yachtmaster white dial is one of my other favorites too. And I remember the first time I saw one of those. I was taking a subway in Manhattan to the Guggenheim, and I saw a passenger wearing one. "Now there's a chunky rolex that I could wear" I thought.
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

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
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 ...
