Milgauss z-blue to this collection or no?

Hi all, suppose you had the collection in the picture but still wanted a milgauss z blue but could not just add and needed to swap one out for it. Would you swap one out and if so which? Or would you say nah to the z blue and stand pat.

(pics put together from internet)

Lot of milgauss love today. I’m biased but would have to say YES.

I was thinking along these lines - but no go on the bluesy or hulk off the bat. That leaves the 114060 and 16610 - really tough to trade one of those for a milgauss. Same with the SD4K.

Ditch the 114060.
If you regret it, you can add the 124060 later.

I think the z-blue fits nicely in with the mix.
You've got a very impressive collection

Big fan myself. I've had my Zblue, second Milgauss for 2.5 yrs now and it's a special piece as well as all Millies. I'd let go of the OP39 if I had to say good bye to one.

Second losing the white Milgauss. One is enough of this whimsical piece.

I would lose the Explorer I (not a fan), and/or the OP (you already have the white dial covered). If you really like the Explorer & OP, then you could swap out the white Milgauss (but I love that watch) & still have a Milgauss, but add another color to your collection.

Great inputs guys thanks - so far no one has suggested to stand pat which I find interesting.

Since you’re a doctor I’m weighting your response more

I'd say just add the Z blue. It's an absolutely stunning watch and you won't see another or many out there.

Don't sell the white OP39... that's an absolute gem in your collection. The dial is just about perfect. Great movement with the 3132 under the hood. Size and case design are great, perfect subtle pop of the domed polished bubble bezel... and then the brushed oyster bracelet + satisfying clasp, *chef's kiss*. It just oozes quality and class. Truly a perfect watch.

I have similar sentiments toward the Exp 1, which has a slightly more sporty aesthetic with the 3/6/9 arabics and mercedes hand-set. They complement each other so well. I'd keep both.

I wouldn't have two Milgauss. I would take out the white Milgauss and buy the Zblue. You already have other white Rolexes.

I love the Zblue. I would definitely add it here but part with one of your other less worn pieces.

I would add the watch and trade/sell a Submariner or the white dial Milgauss.

Yes, add and swap out either the white DJ or white OP because they are similar. And very nice collection!!
