Hey all,

So I'm looking to buy a watch for my 18th bday in 2 months, but my budget is only ~2000.
Now of all watches I've seen the Milgauss is by far my favourite, and nothing under 2000 came even close. But to get it id have to save up for another couple of months, which I think I'm going to do.
But in the meanwhile, does anyone know if theres any decent replicas out there?

Thanks in Advance!
Maarten

To answer your question, yes there are decent Milgauss reps available. Just check out the stock of the TDs

I just ordered this one from Ryan at Intime. I went with it instead of the new Noob release because the Noob's lume color is wrong. There's several models to choose from though.

I have been reading on the best milgauss rep in this forum. They said pure time have the best rep in terms of movement and visual authenticity to the gen. Is that true or all dealer basically have the same stock from few factories?

Any dealer should be able to get you any watch. The crystal is the big flaw is some of the Milgauss reps. If you don't mind the wrong green AR and a lume that's off the Noob is a good way to go.

I think a few dealers on eBay sell aftermarket GV crystals now. Pretty pricy but considering you can't really buy a gen GV crystal and the rep GV crystals kinda suck, it might be worth looking in to.

I've always liked the milgauss but hated the whole green crystal flaw. The milgauss with a clear crystal would be my choice.

Apparently that the older noob version. The newer and better version is from PT. Hmm if only they can fix the lume color

Yea my budget is in euros should've mentioned that.

Also worth mentioning, I meant the blue version of the milgauss.


So given what I read here you suggest this model:


http://www.pure-time.com/product/mi...een-sapphire-blue-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a2824a/

Am i right?

Looks pretty good. The green AR though is wrong. The watch I have coming has it as well, but it'll come off with a cape cod cloth and a little elbow grease. Lots of the green sapphire reps have the AR it's seems.

Actually I'm also looking for a good Milgauss rep. I did a lot of reading here and in RG but I couldn't come to a reasonable conclusion.
From what I understood one has to forget the GV version none of the available reps has a decent non-fakescrreaming crystal.

So now I am focusing on the black dial clear glass version which is also an amazing timepiece but also in this case the infos are scant and confusing it appears that one of the best versions is the so-called Thai milgauss but this piece is very difficult to source, what would be a valid alternative to this one in your opinion???? please help

So the older version had the correct color lume and the newer one is incorrect? Seems a step backwards doesn't it?
