Icon12 Milgauss Z Blue - a 1 day update and better photos

1 day in and I am besotted by my latest acquisition!!

Thanks for the feedback to my post yesterday.....and the advice....it does look even better with the stickers taken off!! Please pardon my lack of attention to detail with yesterdays effort

What can I update:
- the lume obviously better than other versions
- the blue face is hypnotic and has seemingly infinite different hues/colours
- right on the money accuracy wise today
- the words blue and green never be seen together is $%*&^%$ - do you think it looks nice against my green sub???

I was really lucky with this watch....I contacted local AD's who all said NZ would be September or later....I have an industry expert who runs an independant watch and jewellery business and with whom I have done several trades...I mentioned to him I loved this watch and he made some enquiries and managed to get this one from an off shore AD/contact and because of strong NZ$ it cost me NZ$10k....I reckon a great price

I pormise to get some really good shots and a more detailed review at 3 weeks in.....might even review Green Sub as well

Cheers

Looks nice, congrats! For me personally, I wish the dial were a darker shade of blue. Can't wait to try it on for myself. Wear it in good health my friend.
