GV Z Blue & GV Black Dial are all under GV, if you haven't noticed.

I absolutely love the look of the green GV model. If I owned one, I don't think that I would part with it. It's such a unique looking watch.

Having said that, you seem to enjoy your white Milgauss more than the other one. So, that's the one that you should probably hold onto..

Actually, white is the presence of all color; black is the absence of all color.

That said, I'd go with the White, I just like a lighter, brighter dial

Here is an idea. Keep the white and pop the the GV crystal on it. I have seen this before and it looks unbelievable.

Thinking about slimming down my collection too. The white and black - non-GV are both up for consideration to go, but every time I get serious about it, I can't let them go. They are probably one of my most comfortable watches I've had.

(Cartier Roadster on a strap was probably the one most comfortable ever though)

Milgauss models are not that popular as seen in resale, but they are just so cool.

Really? I've asked several CW21 watchmakers and they tell me the crystals aren't interchangeable. I'd like to replace the green sapphire on the GV black with a clear.

Do you recall where you saw it?

Definitely keep the GV. Think about how exclusive that green sapphire crystal is to your watch compared to the rest of the entire Rolex collection.

Actually, white is all light and no color; black is all color but no light, just saying.
