Although green is more unique...every I see the Black I say "wow I like that watch now for some reason" and I realize the pic is of the clear crystal.

You are not alone. The GV is more unique, but I prefer the cleaner, crisper and more symmetrical black dial with the clear crystal.

I think the GV has the best overall look though the black dial is nice.

IMO -
the white dial is the cleanest out of the 3 116400 variants.

the GV is the most unique out of the 3 116400 variants.

So that leaves the black dial to be the most common looking of the 3 116400 variants.

I'll agree the black is the most common looking, but it's also the cleanest, even over the white.

Reasons are 1) no numbers on the dial and 2) only one shade of orange on the entire watch (lume of the GV and white is a different shade from the text and hand).

The GV is pure character. I also considered the Explorer which is pure class. The black Milgauss is the perfect balance of class and character.

I said the same thing to myself when I couldn't find a GV and refused to pay over retail for it.

Until I actually put it on.



The GV has so much personality and I've never received more compliments on any other watch.

Yes I like the black dial.
Clean, easy to read and has the closest resemblance to the Vintage Milgauss 1019 that I seriously want/need/must have

I would have to disagree. I bought all 3 versions, and found the white one to be the cleanest and the GV to be the most unique.

as in, no number ring on the outside of the dial, all the markers are the same color on the black one and there is no clashing of the second hand orange with the GV orange markers.
