Last time I looked, the blue of the Caribbean in the sun set against the green of palm trees is a pretty good combo. How do green and blue not mix? It's nature. The orange is there to add some flair....it's a Milgauss after all.

x2...:

This watch is STUNNING IMO, and what I love almost as much as the color design is the fact, that so many here dislike it and even ridicule it. It guarantees a little rarity. Not everybody wants to belong to the oh so popular Sub Club...

Great looking option for this model.

Love the blue dial.

Mr whit · 28 March 2014, 08:14 PM

I think this watch is absolutely stunning,I have one on order and cannot wait
For it to arrive.my first rolex in 1987 was a steel and gold blue dial sub ,a stunning watch in its day and for me the best colour combination rolex ever produced,the z blue is a close second,and it will be a winner.

Too many colours for me, and furthermore blue and green are not complimentary in my eyes.

I do like that they've changed all the hour markers to white. I also think the blue dial without the green crystal would be cool.

I agree with you %100. If this one had a clear crystal, I'd be all over it it like a fat kid on a Hershey bar.

In keeping with the old cliche “Blue and green should never be seen, without a color in between.” Orange & blue compliment each other so well thought out. I like it, but enough to give up the old GV ? Not sure yet.

jshepard · 28 March 2014, 11:58 PM

Live pics aren't too bad, the blue isn't as shiny as the ads make it to be. It's probably gonna be like the omega AT in blue. Ads make it super bright but in real life it's a pretty calm kind of blue...

Furbo · 29 March 2014, 12:13 AM

I don't think that the green glass is such a big problem, all it does it makes the border of glass green, it's not like they mixed blue and green on the dial.

jjnd08 · 29 March 2014, 12:55 AM

I love it right now, but I'm worried if I get it that all the colors will get real old real fast for me.

Like they did with the LVC and Blue 16613.

swils8610 · 29 March 2014, 02:33 AM

The Milgauss in General is more of a niche watch. I've had a few and flipped them. I really like having the date on my watches. They are a Great value on the pre owned market. White and black dial especially.

I think it looks very unique. Would like to see it in person as lighting can be misleading in the photos.

I think the Milgauss in general holds a certain place with collectors and watch enthusiasts. It is not "typical" which may explain the differing opinions.

Plato · 30 March 2014, 01:13 AM

I can't wait to see it in person!

car_guy_dave · 31 March 2014, 11:39 AM

Gosh, I am loving this watch. I'm anxious to see how much this will go for. I've not had my explorer II for a year but I will seriously consider switching upon seeing in person. Anyone know when we will see these new models at AD?

DCGuy1965 · 31 March 2014, 11:59 AM

I have a white dial and wear it often as of late. I remember when they came out and were one of those coveted watches nearly impossible to get. Wanted a GV at the time but when an untouched white one came in I said why not.

Kind of grew on me and the lume when the orange turns light blue you have to admit is pretty awesome if not one of the best lumes out there. I also truly appreciate this is not one you see in the wild very often so that appeals to me.

ingmar · 1 April 2014, 11:40 AM

I think it's awesome. I would love to see one in real life. But it's very photogenic.

It's a fairly nice watch, but not something I would get as a daily driver...too many colors for me. I'm sure it will look great in the metal.

samson66 · 1 April 2014, 10:00 PM

If it wasn't for that second hand I may have gotten one instead of the DJII I ended up with. Just couldn't get past that lightning bolt...
