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.

So true. I never thought of it till i saw the blue dial in person. Its a stunning watch and its one of the view watches i have that get noticed by others. I gets the most compliments. Not that i care but its kind of funny that the weird Milgauss gets noticed while my much higher end or populair pieces do not.

Why get a DJ while you can can get a Milgauss seems strange to me. Who knows, maybe it will take off when some celeb or actor in a movie wears it.

I am tempted on a white that has been in my AD case for long time, I might pull the trigger if they give me a really good price.

Z Blue takes it. Had a DJ, had Explorer I, tried many others, and make no mistake I love my sub. In hindsight though the Milgauss was and always will be always the one. Ruined most other pieces for me .

You won’t be sorry with the Milgauss. They are all fantastic.

I rank them:

1. White
2. Z Blue (best nickname of the bunch)
3. Black
4. Black GV

The orange really pops on that white background.

Good luck!

I agree on that ranking and voted with my choice on the wrist :)

The white milgauss is so un-Rolex I just love it.

I actually had to think about it a lot before voting!
Both are beautiful dials but I went with black! Can’t go wrong with either!

Blue dial without a doubt. Second choice would be black however.

I have both the black GV and white, and though the black GV has more wrist time, the white to me is more special.

Did the original Milgauss had any green on it?

I vote blue dial. I’ve seen some amazing shots when the sun light hits the dial just right. That’d be my choice
