I have never been a fan of the Milgauss, but all that change when my AD show me a brand new z blue . Now I am in love with that watch.

Congrats! I've never actually seen one in the case or in the wild. Cool watch IMO.

I'm about 90% sure Kristi Noem wears one...

Anywho, after getting super lucky and getting an OP39 White August 25th, 2020 (5 days before they were discontinued), I was able to trade it in for almost double what I paid and finally got my dream watch, 13 years later (thanks Takuya!).

No more talk, picture time.








Bonus picture - This is my "Visiting downtown LA" set up

I think it is one of the nicest steel Rolex. Beats the hell out of the hyped Panda imho.

Congrats! The Z blue was what really got me into the brand. And then the launch of the BLNR started the obsession.

awesome, I liked both flavors of Milgauss (although I opted for the z-blue). It's kinda the anti-Rolex Rolex reference. Enjoy!
