Blue

Very interesting blue dial watch. My list of future watch purchases keeps growing.

i'm not convinced by the blue, though.
Well put. I feel the same way.

I often wonder if the "haze" put off a lot of would-be buyers. Add all the stickers on the polished Milgauss case and the watch isn't very attractive in the AD.

NO THANKS... I will stay with my Milgauss GV 116400 black dial:
But doesn't the Black dial GV have the same haziness?

Thank you for sharing those photos!

You guys are kidding right? Blue and green?
They could have at least made the crystal blue.
Personal preference I guess....
Nobody ever bought the black one before, so a slight shade change into the blue spectrum will change all that? hehe, remains to be seen.....

Milgauss blue, so attractive and contemporary!

I may agree it's contemporary..but that's all I can do.

I don't think that the first GV has any haze at all to the dial... probably due to the matte dial.

The shiny electric blue sunburst dial causes reflections onto the underside of the crystal, making the blue dial seem lighter blue than it is (see shots from an angle) plus decreases legibility...

That is a great colour combination.

Perhaps they will reveal a blue dial milgauss with regular crystal next year at basel.

It's an interesting variation which some fans will like - but for me, the original GV is more eye-catching.

The haze was one of the things I specifically remember with it being stacked alongside others at the AD.

Personally I don't think this Milgauss is contemporary looking at all. In fact what I love about it is that it looks classic and vintage.

I still think it looks too much like a smooth bezel DJII with a lightning bolt

I like everything except the GV crystal on this one. I think the blue and the lightening hand are amazing

The AD in Bern had two on stock on June 5th. I tried one on. Sure looks nice and different....tho not for my taste as it has no date. If only it had a date I would already own the GV.
