Bamford & Sons Reimagine Rolex Milgauss For Colette Paris | The ...

by Tom Mulraney

If you are a luxury watch enthusiast then chances are you are familiar with the name Bamford & Sons . Based in London, this innovative company is renowned for their unique and individualized after market modifications of luxury watches, namely Rolex. In their latest bespoke creation they have re-imagined a special edition of the iconic Rolex Milgauss to be sold at the Colette boutique in Paris.

The Original Until the re-release of the Rolex Milgauss series at Baselword last year you could be easily forgiven for not being aware of this unique watch or its rather colourful past. The Milgauss was one of the series of watches that Rolex developed in the 1950s for the new breed of professional intent on taking over the world. These ‘tool’ watches, as they were known then, were designed to do it all. That encompassed aviation, for which there was the GMT Master; mountaineering, the Explorer; diving, the Submariner and for the secretive world of science, the Milgauss.

However, sadly unlike its successful counterparts which sold in record numbers (and still do to this day) the Milgauss was destined to become the slowest seller in the Rolex line-up, and was sold for about 20 years before being removed from their catalogue.

Much like artists who only achieve fame after death the Milgauss went on to become a cult watch, then a collector’s item after its untimely demise and now mint examples fetch tens of thousands at auction. It was this rich history that prompted the revival of the model by Rolex, complete with the lightning bolt hand that was a striking (pardon the pun) hallmark feature of the original model.

The Bamford Effect For their re-imagination of this special model designed exclusively for Collette in Paris the Milgauss has received Bamford’s trademark Black PVD treatment over the steel case. In addition the dial, available in black or white in the original form has been replaced with a rich blue dial, black seconds hand, and all white text on the case. As a result of the modifications and uniqueness of this watch you can expect to pay a price premium of several thousand dollars on top of the original Milgauss price tag.

Updated Version of Rolex Milgauss Launched On Its 50th Anniversary ...

by Vanessa Puzio

There are very few luxury watch brands that can claim to be as popular and successful as the popular brand, Rolex . Rolex has been dominating the world market by churning out some of the premium quality watches, which have been immensely popular among the classes. This master manufacturer uses the finest quality of materials to construct its amazing watches that are able to withstand a range of conditions and still perform flawlessly.

One of the most popular models is the Rolex Vintage Milgauss. This is one of the oldest and the most popular Rolex model that was introduced. In fact, the Rolex Vintage Milgauss has been around for more than half a century now and is surprisingly still popular amongst Rolex fans. The fact that it has been around for a couple of decades proves the fact that Rolex does not compromise on either functionality or design. This is why this particular model from the workshops of Rolex recently got a chance to celebrate its 50th anniversary. There is no denying the fact that anything which is antique has an extremely high price. The original and now antique Rolex Vintage Milgauss is so expensive that many people around the world might not be able to afford it. However the latest models are comparatively easily available and are relatively less priced. This is the reason why every single Rolex Vintage Milgauss model is considered worth its weight in gold.

One of the oldest pieces from this model was launched in the 1950’s and it triggered a technological revolution in the world of watches. The highlight of this particular model was that it was the first of its kind to protect the movement of the watch with the help of a magnetic shield. It features a Faraday Cage that is able to resist a magnetic flux of about one thousand Gauss. This very significant addition in this watch resulted in this watch becoming an instant hit with the individuals who work in areas, which have intense magnetic fields, like in research labs and telecommunications. The dial features Arabic minute numerals that are coloured in orange. The dial of the Rolex Vintage Milgauss is covered by a sapphire crystal with a green tint on it. The unique seconds dial is coloured in orange and represents what looks like a bolt of lightning.

With the rapid development of technology in these days, the working conditions of many call for the need to operate in strong magnetic fields. Whether it's aerospace, telecommunications, research labs or medical imaging equipment, the people who control these positions require a long time that will allow him to know the exact time in these conditions. Enter the 2007 version of the Rolex Milgauss Milgauss.The originally published in 1957, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, and as a result the Milgauss is given an upgrade. The line has inspired a bunch of second hand on a black dial. The markers are now orange with white numerals and orange creating minutes.

A green light shows the dial sapphire crystal. The watch is securely fasted to the wrist with a bracelet Oyster stainless steel. After all the hype fueled mainly by enthusiasts of Rolex, not really so great is the demand for watches that can withstand up to 1000 Gauss. Rolex Milgauss The original line-up itself, was abandoned by Rolex since its formation in 1988 as one of the slowest among the sellers of offers of Rolex.

Because of this Rolex Milgauss production is probably at the level of expected demand a few years on the road, and is not intended to satisfy the initial request. If Rolex Milgauss was designed to meet the initial request was to reduce the expected future production, or watch Milgauss prices go through the floor.

Historically, all stainless steel Rolex watches you can get a discount MSRP negligible or above 10% -15% a few years after his release. The facts of precious metals, can be made available to even more generous. There is no reason to expect that prices will be different for the Milgauss.

The only Rolex watch this trend is all stainless steel Daytona, reaching a price level of about 30% of MSRP. Daytona, but they themselves are not scarce. Daytona Two-Tone are available from authorized dealers, at prices below the price premium commanded all stainless steel models.
