    Love the black dial GV.... it is noticeably thicker so there is a nice wrist presence. The polished center links just makes this a cool looking watch next to the green sapphire. It's so fun to wear, I can't stop looking at it. And when it lumes, the 3, 6, 9 are blue'r and just gives it another dimension. I wish I could wear this out more often but I mostly just pull it out and gaze at it.

    I own a number of Rolex watches that please me greatly. I collected my Z blue milguass last Sunday from my AD. I must say that this watch is special, it's a must have if you collect watches. Will it be discontinued next month? if Rolex pull the plug on this one, the watch will be an instant must have classic. Absolutely fabulous in every way. Best of luck getting one.

    I was choosing between “air king”, “black milgauss” and “z blue milgauss”. The black milgauss looked nice but I picked the z blue one at the end as I thought it’s more difficult to get the blue one. It’s growing on me. Looks much better then hyped OP.

      Hi there. Did you pick it up this year, or are you referring to a previous event? I am on the list for the z blue but have not heard back yet and I was wondering if anyone has actually received one from an AD this year. Great choice by the way, the milgauss is stunning with the green crystal, blue dial and unique dial/hands. Regards

    It's crazy how this watch grew on me. I'm going to get one but since I will buy it as my "everyday watch", don't you think that the black dial is the best choice? Don't get me wrong, the blue dial definitely looks fantastic too but it might not be a good fit with all colors of clothes. And since I already have a lot of "colored" watches such as the Hulk, rose gold YM, etc. I think that the black dial is probably the best choice for me. Any recommandation would be greatly appreciated as I'm really scratching my head around to make a choice :)

    I'm with you on wishing it was all brushed... or, at least had more brushed surfaces than high polish. I would love to see something new that looks like their earlier milgaus models. However, I've noticed Rolex rarely looks back.. at least they never really do reissues or revivals.. I suppose they always evolve forwards and rarely look back.. I suppose they can get away with that as their designs are so classic and solid, they don't need to really change much if anything. Still, it would be nice to see old designs brought back to modern specs. But, anyways... this is all academic as I know I'm never going to get a Rolex the way they are these days and foreseeable future. Still, fun to discuss and talk about as that's about.

    Having owned three Milgauss they all have faults - the Z-Blue you can't read the dial in certain light, the GV the green glass reflects too much and they all scratch very easily. None of them really suitable for a daily wearer which is what I bought them for and the current price of around £8k is daft. Buy a Tudor if you want a decent watch at a sensible price. Buy a Rolex if you want to trade them and make money.

    I’d love the blue dialed one. So I always thought this watch would be too thick for me , but my buddy has one and it felt great. Want More Money!

    This model needs life put back into it...perhaps a refresh?

    This is a beautiful and very special Rolex, going up a lot in value in the future. It will be discontinued soon I think.
