The Worst Watch Ever? | Watchfinder & Co. 

We know you want more watches…. click here: linktr.ee/watchfinder

Make this go viral, I want to buy one of these watches on the cheap.

"In a world full of Submariners be a Milgauss"

This is my favorite Rolex. Bravo for being different, for having the balls to juxtapose fun with stodginess. That is exactly what will make this watch an all-time classic. A tinted crystal and lightning bolt hand. Come on. How cool is that? How daring and beautiful. I applaud this one.

Not that I'll likely ever have the funds for one, but the Milgauss is literally the only Rolex watch I'd ever actually want to own. The magnetic shielding, the story behind it's design, and not to mention the crystal is one of my favorite colors, and this watch just looks cool to me.

This is actually my dream watch.

All I could think while watching this video was: “Oh, boy. The comments section will be a good read.” 😂😂😂

I think it takes a certain geeky person to appreciate the niche it fills. I personally love it, finding it to have a value in filling that electric themed anti magnetic spot nothing really does. plenty of people wear divers without any diving aspiration but I'm sure for the scientist or tradesman this holds stronger intrinsic value.

British sarcasm is an acquired taste, and often flies higher than those looking on.

Everything you mentioned about this watch, making it "the worst," is exactly what i feel makes it great. Rolex rarely deviates from their tried and true formula and when they do it's a breath of fresh air. They are always so serious with their designs and seeing something a bit different from them is what makes this a true collectors piece in my opinion. If i had the financial means, i'd buy one right now.

I love my Milgauss for exactly the reasons the narrator hates it.

"...a nugget of purest green." Oh, Edmund, can it be true? That Lord Percival is alive and well and designing watches for Rolex???

I finally got mine!!!!! Thank you for this video!

Is it just me, or did Rolex put the Milgauss on the front page of their website as a FU to this video ?

I don't really think it is "objectively" a bad watch at all. It might be overpriced, but really, everything you described basically screams subjectivity to me. I'm not the biggest fan of it, but I can see how people like it. The lightning bolt aswell as the green glass make it unique and I kind of like that.

I mean, I appreciate the details of the Milgauss such as the green crystal and polishing on the bezel and bracelet. While it is similar to the Oyster Perpetual, I think the engineering and cool factor that comes with the electromagnetic shield makes up for the $3,000 price differential. I would be far more mad if I purchased a carbon Richard Mille only to realize I paid for a house and got a plastic watch. All being said, I hope this video drives down the prices of the Milgauss on the grey market because the purchase would feel so much sweeter near entry level Oyster price.

This is a beautiful timepiece. It has a practicality to it. A scientists’ watch one that works with electromagnetic fields. I know I’d be looking into this watch if I were Network Engineer or find myself working in a server room.

This love-hate relationship with the Milgauss model is what will make them collectible in some years.

This was expert trolling, you must be laughing your head off at a lot of the comments.

This watch is for the astro-physicist who just got $20M grant approved

Your reasonings to dislike the watch are literally the reasons people love this thing. I'm glad I just put an order in for one, especially after watching this.

This video made me fall in love with this watch. Exactly 8 months later, really took that long, I finally found a Rolex Boutique that sold me one! Mine forever!

This was obviously filmed before Audemars Piguet released the Code 11.59 range.

This Rolex has personality. And it took guts to create a teal dial.

Those were three of the least compelling reasons to hate a watch that I could imagine.

Every point was subjective. This video is objectively not a good one.

“It is when you start picking out the finer details that the watch starts falling apart.” Goes on to hate on the watch based solely on looks not realizing what it’s heritage or functionality is.

I love this watch simply because its history aligns with my own. I am not a diver, I am not a pilot, I am not an explorer; I am an engineer. I got my Masters working with MRI technology. This watch was made for me, even if I rarely am around fields so strong these days.

its one of the most beautifully simplistic and yet eye-catching watches ever produced, it's an gem. i love it

Objectively speaking, this is the least-well argued video from the best RU-vid watch channel.

The Milgauss has been my grail watch for years. This vid is some hot take clickbait BS. Unless you're trolling, in which case I got trolled.

Each to his own . I’m not a fan of Rolex styles in general , but this one is a beautiful exception. I love how the green crystal sets off the sky blue face . The colors work together in a lovely unexpected way . The gold minute hand and logo further enhance by contrasting with the cool ice colors - pure genius ! I would own this watch in a heartbeat 💗.

aplha m will get triggered :D

That’s _crazy_ ... The Milgauss is legitimately the only Rolex I even like. Rolex designs are overall too boring for me.

“Bad for many, many people”... gave me a chuckle when he said that with emphasis. 😂

I liked it the first time I saw it Then a friend of mine bought one and I tried it .... man, I fell in love with this watch, it made me so happy wearing it that I’m saving to buy one 👍

It's actually one of my favorite Rolex, I love the combination of colors and lightning bolt shape

Oh c'mon.. you're respected enough.. no need of using a clickbait like this

with the airking 116900 what would make the milgauss stand out now? orange seconds hand and green tinted crystal? granted the 116900 has a love it or hate it dial but it is essentially a milgauss inside and costs less... so whats the point of the milgauss now?

What model is that Pentax camera in the background??

Now that is a Rolex I actually really like. Thanks for highlighting its best characteristics.

I dislike rolexes. I _subjectively_ like this one more than most. No cyclops eye and the bolt is a cool detail on an otherwise quiet-ish watch. Sue me. P. S. Milgauss is not a meme

After years and years of searching and planning I found this to be my perfect watch. I've had it for years now and it never ceases to make me happy. I wear it every day an it's so unassuming that it's like a secret luxury that almost no one knows I have. I have had maybe 2 people (clearly Rolex-knowledgable) comment on it. I bought an Apple watch a bit ago and that lasted about a year before I abandoned new tech for old tech and my Milgauss was back on my wrist. As others have noted, the commentary you made is exactly why this watch is so fantastic. Yes, it's very odd for a Rolex. Yes, it's a weird mix of colors. Yes, it's got no real practical advantage over an Oyster Perpetual (I don't plan on wearing this near an MRI machine). So is it the worst watch ever? Not on this wrist it isn't.

For me its a great and unique piece ! I love the blue shade on the dial and the green effect on the glass. Moreover the orange color is a great combo with this blue. For sure it will become a collector watch in 20years.

Ehhhh... The Milgauss is actually pretty slick.

Well, if you don't want yours, then I'll be glad to love it for you...

I know this is an old video, but I had to click. How can a Milgauss be the worst watch ever when Hublot exists? 🤣 the milgauss is an icon and I find a lot of physicians/researchers love their milgauss ❤️

Is the extra cost underneath all the cosmetic on the outside? I’m no expert but doesn’t this watch have extra magnetic shielding?

Interesting thoughts...and some good points. Ultimately, the message I took from this video is very complimentary towards the Milgauss. It’s a brilliant watch that defies conventional judgement.

Wtf the milgauss is an absolute beaut

Can you do the Rolex daytona (zenith) in full gold or other material.. and if you could explain why the arabic dial is so wanted. Great work keep it up. Could you recommend any future investment watches

Seriously, the watch looks very nice, has a tiny touch of fun with the second hand and offers a very good resistance to magnetism that we all suffer at airport security check. I understand it’s not the best or the coolest of Rolexs but frankly it’s a cool watch and doesn’t deserve that surprising video

I love how 99% of the people are replying to strictly to the title. As if they didn't watch the video.

This video is weird, in that it pulls shade over what is a perfectly good watch to begin with. The Milgauss...worst watch ever made? Far from it, there are plenty of other candidates for that title...

The longer time passes - the more this watch makes sense. Especially in todays crazy market of buyers, sellers and social ‘influencers’ - the Milgauss stands tall in its originality, history and boldness….It also wears incredibly well. Let’s see what 2022 brings for this exceptional piece! Did I hear anyone say discontinued?

Love your vids!!! You just made me fall in love with the MG!! Also, You should be a a Thriller/Suspense movie narrator! Thanks for posting!

This was my first ever rolex and the first watch over 1000 euros I ever bought. Call me a weirdo but this is still my favorite and brings me so much joy every time I see it. It plays witch light and shifts colours so much that it's like wearing a different watch each time the lighting changes. It can be a bit of a hazard in traffic though, since I can easily get mesmerized by its beauty while driving. First rolex and the only one guaranteed never to leave my possession.

Oh dear, that is... utterly horrendous. A shame... I can take it off your hands for you ;)

The only thing bad about this watch is the cartoonish lightning bolt second hand. That said, some people find it whimsical and fun. To each their own. But the “worst” watch? Never. That title goes to Invicta.

I have that reference but with a black dial. It appeals to me because I worked in radio and I'm an engineer, so the history and functionality appeal to me. I like that for a Rolex it flies under the radar. The green crystal is different from anything else, and I love the lightning bolt. I knew at the end he'd reverse and show some appreciation. But I was disappointed he didn't talk at all about the history of the watch, which is part of its appeal.

I like this channel but I'm not digging all these click baity titles and negativity recently.

"But rarely does a person eat the recipe." Good line. Now wait a minute... are you saying that someone HAS eaten a recipe?? Now this is a story I must know!

Milgauss is definitely my favourite Rolex. It may be the seconds hand, the green sapphire, the black and orange highlits or how it all comes together but I love it and nothing is going to change it. I get why people hate it and I agree that it is an acquired taste.

The fact this $6,000 Rolex watch is supposed to be worse than a watch picked up at a walmart for $15 is the dumbest shit I ever heard a person say about a luxury brand watchmaker regarding the Milgauss

Probably, the only Rolex I really love.

Your video of the worst watch is actually the worst video ever to be released on your channel.

Many people didn’t understand that this video is ironic. “The watches we love din’t always makes sense!”

I just got mine last week and I love it! From the green crystal, to the orange lightening bolt to the minutes by fives (whatever that is called, not sure the official term) and the fact that it doesn't scream ROLEX! when you walk into a room with it, i love this watch.

Christ, that three minute rhetorical, pseudo-semantic schpeel at the start was painful.

Poor video from a usually great channel. Weird.

I own this watch with the black dial and I absolutely love it. I've had it for 8 months and I've yet had to adjust the time. And the worst watch in the world? What an absolutely absurd proposition. Look at some of the ridiculous watch designs being sold out there and you will see that this is really a beautiful and functional watch. And when he said that you can buy the same turquoise dial in an Oyster Perpetual I almost fell off my chair. Those watches are now selling for significantly more than a Milgauss. Don't pay any attention to the price on the Rolex site, you simply cannot buy those watches in any store for the list price. A very misleading post by Watchfinder.

The Milgauss is my dream watch!

Bizarre video, full of contradictions. I struggled to watch it until the end.

Hmm, odd video. The Milgauss has a cult following that would make Tarantino jealous.

Loved the Blackadder reference “nugget of purest green” 👌🏼

What do you think about its competitor, the seamaster railmaster from omega?

First time i wish this video had no sound.....

I have a Milgauss and I'm not offended at all. I've often thought it's a strange model that's pretty impractical, but any watch over £10 you could describe as impractical. I'm just hoping Rolex will discontinue it soon as I know this model is going to be a future classic and the price will go through the roof!

I just picked up a black dial one, I love it bc I like different things. The lighting bolt second hand was love at first sight

This is a great video, these are exactly the things that came to my mind when i saw it first

No, the worst watch ever were those Air Kings with the Dominos Pizza logo.

There it is, finally MVMT is better than ROLEX !1!!

At 1:31, the hour markers seem to be different size, except for 3, 6 n 9

Milgauss for the person that really insists on wearing a watch during an MRI

how can something be objectively bad when you only give subjective reasons? I is cosc certified so already better than most watches, the colour of the crystal does not impede it's ability to stay scratch resistant and and the seconds hand, lightening bolt or not, works as it should.

'A nugget of the purest green', I love the Blackadder reference!

I thought I was going to really hate it by the end of the video and I just love it’s quirkiness even more now 😂

Another brilliantly written narrative and a beautiful watch. A nuclear physicist friend who has one of these absolutely loves it and it is beautiful in person. Mesmerizing for all the the reasons explained in this video.

Oh man this guy takes forever to say anything

Hopefully this is the first, and last time, I will have to downvote one of your videos.

Funny enough, these are all the reasons why i love the milgauss. Its my favorite rolex because its different from typical rolex. The green sapphire is unique and its totally unnecessary. They did it "because we can". The lightning bolt hand is quirky and fun. Its the rolex im willing to sit on a list and wait for. Its not practical. Omega watches are significantly more gauss resistant. The OP is thinner and cheaper. But the milgauss is unique and its just not like everything else you see.

It’s overpriced, however it’s still a thing of beauty.

the only one with a lightning on his face should be Harry Potter....DAVID BOWIE BEGS TO DIFFER

The Worst Watch Video Ever made by Watchfinder & Co.

Clearly one of the best rolex has made. Trying to drive the price down to get himself one. Nice work.

3:57 look how tarnished and unfinished the underside of the second hand is in its’ reflection on the hour hand

This watch is an amazing Rolex timepiece. Rolex stepped out of its oyster shell to make this for all of us who do not want to be traditional.

Was that nugget of purest green first ‘synthesised’ by Baldrick and Lord Percy?

I just recently saw this one on the grey marker and fell in love with it. Oddly enough it being so different from all other Rolex watches is what made me fall in love with it.

1:19 'No. To be the worst...A watch can't be weird or whacky. That's merely a matter of taste or perhaps the lack of it.' Really? Why can't a watch be the worst because it is weird or whacky? 2:13 'So what is it that makes the Milgauss worthy of the title.' Really? Worse than a Hublot that start at around £10,000? 2:21 'There are three reasons why the Rolex 16400-GV could well be the worst watch ever.' Again. Worse than a Hublot that start at around £10,000? 2:57 'It's not too (the Oyster) dissimilar to the Milgauss which aside from the addition of a magnetic shield around it's similar calibre 3131 doesn't actually offer any additional benefit technically. Yet somehow, the Milgauss costs objectively £2000 more.' How many other watches apart from the Bremont MBII, Omega Seamaster, IWc's Ingeniuer can withstand 1000 gauss? None of which are cheap. 4:06 'The watch is objectively restrained...And then it isn't.' That might sound like a cool soundbite but it doesn't make any sense. This is a unique watch with the anti-magnetism property which is a rare feature in watches and the blue dial is awesome in my opinion. Such a nonsensical review. Teddy Baldasarre reviewed the Milgauss and rates it and he knows his stuff.
