Rolex 1019 Milgauss or how a new insame urge is born.

Well, as you know, I love a lot my Rasta Milgauss, a crazy watch from a conservative Manufacture.

I was not too much crazy about the Vintage Milgauss, I mean the 1019, not the 6541 which is literally to die for.

I tried several, and each time, it was a kind of so so feeling... Till...

Till I fell on Patrice's 1019.

As often, when you fall on a piece in great condition, with the right amount of patina, it is really difficult- not to say impossible- to resist.

Thin and elegant case, stunning silver dial ( the black is not bad, either ), this watch has quickly come on the top of my hunting list.

Without further blabla, here are the pictures:

A pity the value of this model dramatically raised, but this is not specific to this reference, sadly.

Best,

Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-01-16 00:12:27

I also love my rasta milgauss. This vintage one does have a marvelous dial and looks in great shape. Best regards, George

You read in my mind... A Rasta Milgauss and The 1019 ...

By: amanico : January 15th, 2011-10:15

Now, that is what I'd call a PAIR! Best, Nicolas.

I have developped a pairing tendency. I don't know how bad it is yet, but one could be affected by worse conditions. Best regards, George

It can lead you very far, George. Be careful, you're on a dangerous way! :)

Out of the mainstream

By: DrStrong : January 15th, 2011-11:10

your pictures definitely do justice to this terrific example of the scarce reference 1019. Patrice is a lucky man and he has a great taste for picking watches...and friends...LOL

Approved by ...

By: amanico : January 15th, 2011-11:40

Best, Nicolas....

Yes I have given my approval for this one...

By: DrStrong : January 16th, 2011-05:43

and I don't think the new owner regrets it ;-)

Well, don't think Patrice is ok to let it go.

By: amanico : January 16th, 2011-05:46

But if you could give your approval to Patrice for letting it go... Best, Nicolas.

great watch

By: Ryan5446 : January 15th, 2011-11:32

both the black dial as well as the white dial are very cool watches. Congrats to the owner !

Funny when you think that almost nobody wanted the Milgauss ...

By: amanico : January 15th, 2011-11:38

When it was produced... The problem, when you see a specimen like this one, is that you want one in the same condition. Best, Steven. Nicolas

That is a great piece Nicholas.But what is a Rasta Milgauss?

...almost Nice watch and dial. Almost to die for Best Hans

A dressy toolwatch. :)

By: amanico : January 16th, 2011-05:00

Yep, Hans, that seems to be the right description for that watch. Now, the problem is that I have it my mind... Haunting me. Best, Nicolas.

I know that feeling ...

By: hans_jorgen_1968 : January 16th, 2011-05:49

I just checked all the Milgauss for sale on the different collectors markets, and I didn't even find one which sung to me... A beautiful bird such as this one seems to be pretty rare. So, the haunt goes on. Best, my friend. Nicolas.

By: Baron - Mr Red : January 17th, 2011-02:57

i have found and lost this watch on several occasions. The first time was when a NOS black version with full papers and box became available to me at a tremendous price. I was silly. I tried to buy it cheaper and the seller showed to another person and th...

Your story sounds very familiar to me, Baron.

By: amanico : January 22nd, 2011-07:36

Well, I never fell on a bargain, when it comes to this ref, but I let pass several, too.... Wish the lessons of the Past will serve us for our horological future! Best, my friend. Nicolas.
