Which would you pick: DJ2 blue index, fluted bezel or Milgauss Z Blue

I currently have a polar Explorer2 and Sub No Date.

Tough call, but I would go with the DJ2 as I really like the date function and if you went with the Millie 2/3 of your collection would not have a date...but that's just me.

Although I actually like the smooth bezel better...

DJ2 smooth bezel. I love it with the silver dial. It change colors according to light. Sometimes looks grey, others light brown and others like silver. I think this will be my next buy.

Definitely DJ II...dial color and bezel style up to you. Personally I don't know which color dial I'd pick. I've gone around the block several times on that question. Blue is probably the best looking one but not as versatile as the white, silver, or black dials.

DJII, no doubt about it. The Mil is too nichey for me.

The dial color on the DJ2 is a quandary. Blue is most interesting. Lately the white has gained ground. I find the silver hard to read. The black is classic and matches most clothes. I'm confused. Usually more decisive.

I do want to see the Milgauss Z blue in the flesh, though.

DJ2. I can't say wether to go smooth bezel or fluted as I like both. I will say that I think the fluted blue stick is one of the best looking Rolexs.

Don't like the 41mm size of the DJII go for the Milgauss.

DJ2. Even the the Milgauss is kind of dressy, it's still not a dress watch pursay. To round things out, I would go DJ2. Let us know!

Agree 100% with everything you've said. Originally, I told myself that when I'm ready to buy, it would be the blue dial. I still think it's gorgeous but not sure it has "staying power". The silver dial is also great looking but harder to read according to many and I'm not a young pup anymore. That leaves black and white which are probably the most versatile colors. The black dial is classic, as is the white, and can be worn anywhere at anytime. Funny, but until recently, I did not even consider the white dial but it's starting to grow on me.

Both solid choices. I wouldn't consider the Milgauss a dressy watch by any means, unless you're solely going based on PCL.

Definitely would go with the DJll blue index fluted. The blue dial just pops beautifully.

I have the DJ2 white stick with smooth bezel and am quite pleased. One of those watches that I've grown to like more the longer I have it. Was unsure for the first couple weeks and at this point, it's a keeper. Looks great and unobtrusive regardless of attire.

I usually fall into the opposite scenario....love the watch the first 4 or 5 times I wear it then it gradually spends more and more time in the safe. Opposite for the white stick DJ2.
