Went with the black dial GV - would have considered the blue had it not been shiny “sun brushed” or whatever they call it…

Thoughts on the Milgauss Z-blue

 
 By: Cozmopak : March 29th, 2022-16:52
Part of me thinks I should hate this watch. But I'm strangely attracted to it. Any thoughts? I'm sure these are essentially unobtainable now at the ADs. ...  

I like the coloring a lot. Very attractive.

It’s a tad thick though, just fyi, which of course is personal preference. If you like it, go for it.

There is nothing to hate. The real question, in my opinion, is to know which one is best looking, the Blue... Or the Black.

I prefer the black, for its depth, but the blue is even more original. Maybe too original? ...  

Or perhaps the white dial?

Nicely brushed !

Thank you, Ajas.

I'm with the part of you that hates it!

I mean, I like the Milgauss a lot, especially the green crystal, black dial version. But the colors on the z-blue just clash horribly to my eyes. I'm not a fan of this version at all.

But you like the black?

 
 By: Cozmopak : March 29th, 2022-17:54

Yes sir I do.

In fact it might be my favorite modern Rolex! So the z-blue hatred is 100% a color combo complaint on my part.

I personally love mine. Not sure how, but the colors work beautifully together in real life.

A watch which should not be judged based on pictures alone.

I have black one and disliked the watch originally.

Tastes change with time and now I love it. A great choice.

I used to hate it….

I liked the others though. Then one day I was waiting for a bus and the blue was on display next to the black with green sapphire and the white. I had not really thought a Millgauss was something I would buy. Guess what. I had plenty of time to compare th...  

Blue is the Nautilus of the 4 of them

 
 By: agyzace : March 29th, 2022-20:27
What I mean is that it is actually super elegant in the flesh. I bought it as my last and least preferred of the 4, but I consider it a complete gem. Would never part with any of my Millies, and the blue the same. Good luck choosing! ...  

Went with the blue!

Thanks for sharing your team of Milgauss.

 
 By: gup502 : March 30th, 2022-10:54
I have the white dial version. Interesting thing is today after reading your message, did I notice the dial has the 05, 10, 15 etc., on the very edge. Having owned it for so long, I never noticed them. Which Rolex has this type of marking? Other than the ... 

Thank you!

 
 By: agyzace : March 30th, 2022-21:37

Yep!

I think it looks great…my only beef with Milgauss is Omega is at 15,000 gauss and so

 
 By: myles721 : March 29th, 2022-22:02
it looks great but is it not obsolete at this point?

well...

"Milgauss" is just the historical name...it has a much higher anti-magnetism at this point.

Z-blue

It's my favorite Rolex and a keeper in my collection. It has doubled in value since I picked one up, but I still feel it's undervalued relative to other Rolexes, given how fantastic and special it is. As others have mentioned, it is a bit thick and heavy ...  

Nicely captured.

It's a fantastic watch...

 
 By: oyster case : March 30th, 2022-00:00
with great character. I love the case shape, sure, a tad thicker but only a tad. Cool engraving on the case back. The anti mag s apparently 15 times the rating. You have to try it to fully appreciate it. It's a winner but probably going to be discontinued... 

It’s being discontinued?

Love my z blue!!

 
 By: Watch_This : March 30th, 2022-03:24
Embrace its quirkiness! ...  

Very nice watch!

Blue + green is unusual combo but somehow works along with orange thunder ...
