My order of preference:

1) black
2) white
3) GV
4) z-blue

Not a fan of the green crystal, particularly with blue as these colours clash.

I voted white because I'm not a big fan of the green crystal or the blue dial. Seems a bit gimmicky. The black would be my first choice but as that is not an option I like white.

These were not very popular when sold, had a limited run and a full set might be worth something in 20 years. Not sure if that is a consideration.

Best of luck in your decision.

Did you decide on one yet??

I found a white dial at my AD and fell in love with it. Never had those feelings when I saw it in pictures but in person it got me. Pick it up next week and will post a pic or two.

You can't go wrong getting one them.

Color is a personal choice for different reasons. I looked at the white for awhile but couldn't pull the trigger then the black non gv hit me hard mostly because of the outer orange indices went so well with the matte almost brownish dial, although the Zblue was haunting me from the start and I dismissed it several times l reluctantly traded the blk.non gv in to my AD for the blue, l can't say l should have gotten it from the start because l did enjoy the blk. but it just never got much wrist time. Anyway that's my story, l like the blue the best but you can't go wrong with the Milgauss, looks, fit, and feel is perfecto...

I love the look of the white dial. Just unique enough to get my attention. Although I don't have one in the stable, I wouldn't be opposed to getting one NOS if the right circumstances presented themselves. Next up for me will likely be a SubC Date. That should compliment my DJ II White stick dial/fluted bezel nicely and should cover most bases for me. I might be a two watch kinda guy when that happens but one never knows. Pray for me!

Blue. It is an incredible of combination blue dial and green crystal. My second choice will be the white dial.

I like the blue with the green crystal. Second choice would be black. I like them all though.

This is mine. I had the white but always felt it was a little too " summer in Miami" for my taste and the GV never did much for me.

If you want something understated, this.
If you prefer color, you know what to do! Z-blue

My choice would be the black milgauss that is not a milgauss but an Airking
Same case
Same movement
Same anti magnetic properties
Same strap without the polished center links
Mercedes hands
Beutiful black dial
Stands out as different

Not many realise the Air-king is a Milgauss under a different name

3.6.9 ...lots of 5s it has it all some say busy dial yes...but brilliantly designed..I would say definitely with the added green and yellow for that sparkle of colour



.
I went into an AD to buy a z-blue compared it will the Airking..the Air-King screamed buy me

And as a bonus £1500 cheaper...worth a thought

Without question, blue face green glass.

I looked at one years ago but simply couldn’t get around not having a date on the face.

Having the useless memory that I have I check the date about a hundred times a day!

Z Blue hands down.

The reason the Milgauss was always in stores is because it really is a model that when you see in person, there's nothing else like it. It just doesn't capture much attention online, but Rolex knows that once you see it you're hooked. People always say they "never thought this is the watch they''d buy" after they walk out with one.

They're becoming hard to find now because the popularity speaks for itself and Rolex can treat them like the rest of the SS models.
