Rolex Milgauss 116400

[gen]

I know that it is only this month that the new Milgauss 116400 is coming into Rolex stores worldwide, but I have
desired this watch since it was announced at Basel this year. So my question is, naturally, when will it be available
in rep world? Any ideas, from past experience(s)? Or better yet, any news from our dealers? Thanks.

WBK offered a few a couple of months ago... try sending him an email.

Yep I bought this one from WBK a couple of months ago. Maybe too just send him a PM and he can probably get you one.

I forgot the exact measurement but it is approx. 37mm to the crown.

I just measured mine. It's 37 mm in a Datejust case.

All the reps of the Milgauss use the Datejust case (which is approximately 36mm). Unfortunately, the gen is 40mm. So every Milgauss rep out there (at least to my knowledge) is the wrong size. Not a minor flaw. Additionally, the 50th Anniversary edition (which has a black face with white markers, except for orange markers at the 3, 6, and 9) has a green tinted sapphire crystal. There is a rep of the 50th Anniversary but the sapphire is clear.

Here's some info on the gen:

Looks like the list price is about $6,200.

Yup, the gen Milgauss should measure 40mm. Guess, I'll have to wait it out and see when they come
up with the correct case size. For now, I'll have to pass.
