Milgauss Z-blue dial vs. blue sunburst dials (like those on the sub-c)

Between the Milgauss Z-blue dial and the blue sunburst dial you would find on the YG or TT models, is there any difference in terms of looks, how it's produced, etc?

From what I've seen on photos they seem very similar, but it looks like the Milgauss dial can become a lighter blue than the sunburst dial.

I've read that the Milgauss dial is composed or has some zirconium in it, hence the z-blue term.

I thought I remember reading the sunburst dials are made with gold, but can't seem to find where I read that now. Or are the sunburst dials made using the same process as the z-blue dial minus the zirconium?

It took forever for me to decide between the Blue and Black dial...I finally went with Black but the Blue is still awesome
