My First Watch of Many

Evening All Folks,

Picked this beautiful 2018 Rolex Milgauss Z-Blue yesterday from my local AD. Extremely happy with this purchase and think that it is a perfect, sophisticated and understated watch. Definitely a pleasant place to start my Rolex buying career. What do you guys think about the Z-Blue? Any other fellow Milgauss owners?

Congrats on your Zblue! I bought a used black Milgauss and although l did love it l didn't give it much wrist time as the Zblue kept haunting me until last may l traded it to my AD for a new Zblue. It's a keeper, it feels as special as it looks.. Enjoy!!

Huge congrats! It's a lovely watch and I like the appeal of it. There seems to be a slowly growing trend of Milgauss related posts lately but I think it's partially due to the lack of other available models and buyers are settling. Nevertheless it's a cool watch. Enjoy it in the best of health.

Congrats on your great looking Z-Blue! Arguably the nicest of the modern Milguass series. I had one in hand once at an AD and was quite taken by the look. Enjoy and wear it in good health. Cheers!

That is a really unique watch in the that very special blue. One day many years from now you'll be even more glad it was your first.
