Yes, I think this white dial GV is the most beautiful Milgauss, at least of the current range. The slight tinting to the appearance of the dial also gives the hands a higher level of clarity and contrast in what would otherwise be bright WG hands on a stark white dial.

It's a little like having a polarising filter over the lens of a camera, it tends to bring out more definition in the dial.

interesting very nice combo

dardeca · 17 January 2010, 07:35 AM

Interesting.

gt3pilot · 17 January 2010, 07:39 AM

i actually like that more than the original GV!

Andad · 17 January 2010, 09:29 AM

Looks good Steve, it's different but IMO it's not as nice as the black GV.

It does prove that the green tinge through the crystal affects the colour of the black dial. We need to see the GV with the clear crystal and see the dial colour.
Did you put the clear crystal on the GV?

jets · 17 January 2010, 09:58 AM

That is freakishly beautiful.

Lol-x · 17 January 2010, 09:58 AM

Yes, the clear crystal is now on the GV.

mfer · 17 January 2010, 10:04 AM

Very nice! Wonder if I could get a white gv dial???

ParisDakarBmw · 17 January 2010, 10:11 AM

I'm not used to the color yet, but it looks really crisp. That will gain many fans!

toph · 17 January 2010, 10:13 AM

if he didn't he made a very good job of pretending he did, but i guess lawyers might be good at that

buz-lh · 17 January 2010, 01:20 PM

That's the first Milguass that I've really sort of liked. Looks good.

sea-dweller · 18 January 2010, 03:15 AM

WatchTimes · 18 January 2010, 03:28 AM

Very unique, nice job.

Lol-x · 18 January 2010, 09:20 AM

Yes the white dial with a green tint looks great.

In fact of the green tinted crystal on the dial has a much greater effect than when the green tinted crystal is on the black dial.

The writing on the dial even looks clearer to the naked eye because of the slight green tint, it's like the brightness of the white dial is toned down similar to when you go out in the sunshine and put on your sunglasses, things are easier to see and more relaxed on they eyes.

gone-rolex-mad · 18 January 2010, 09:26 AM

Not my cuppa tea, interesting nevertheless.

Lol-x · 19 January 2010, 07:54 PM

Here you go a few more.

See how the black GV dial looks with a clear crystal. Still not a real black IMHO.
