What are you asking about? If youre wondering if people like it, I'll bite, I love the look of it.
But as my wife says, I don't think it could be my one and only. I hope to eventually one one to compliment my other pieces.

I bought one last week and love it to bits - looks great casual but works well with a suit too. Green glass is awesome, lightening bolt hand is not annoying (hated it first time I ever saw it but warming to it), orange accents work well. It's my favourite watch (but then the new watch is always my favourite for the first few months!)

I've had the Green with black a few times since its release (catch and release) and I recently purchased another one to keep. When the blue Z first came out I loved it! Recently at an AD I saw them together side by side and thought the black dial green crystal looked better. Just my opinion but I think if the blue came out first, then the black, people would be going crazy over the black one.

I like the black, blue and white dial of the watch. I have tried it on many times and have almost bought it a few. Nothing not to like but I always end up with something else that interests me more. I will own it at some point. Go for it.

Not sure what you are looking for in terms of information.
However, this forum has developped a certain way to think about certain watches and I found out that many here think the Milgauss is a good second Rolex. Because a first Rolex, from what I gathered here, is a Sub, a BLNR or a Daytonna. I say those people don't get the Milgauss because Milgauss is the iconoclast Rolex. It's the Rolex for those who don't usually care for Rolex. So for those who like the Milgauss, it makes absolute sense to buy it as a first Rolex. But for those that love classic Rolex, the Milgauss is a bit of an outsider. This being said, to me, the Zblue is one of the best looking Rolex. The GV is unique and looks great in real life. The blue dial looks a lot better in day light (darkish blue) than under AD neon lights (light blue). The orange is striking and the PCL shines bright. It is my everyday watch and looks perfectly fine with a suit or in flip flops. But if I had followed people's advice here I'd have a BLNR and would still be looking at Milgauss pictures and would not be 100% satisfied. If you like it, go! Mine says hi! |

Milgauss 40mm probably one of the best proportioned cases in the current line up (lugs, thickness, diameter) and a really good dial too (batons/sticks not too big nor too small in relationship to the hands).

Z Blue....simply one of the best Rolexes out there. It screams individuality, period, and thats what a Rolex should say, " I don't give a damn what you think"..:)

If you're okay with the lightning bolt second hand, it's a stunning watch. I had a bit of a problem seeing the watch face in marginal light and at an angle due to the green sapphire and black watch face, however the blue face brightens things up for better contrast. Just my humble opinion. Cheers!

I like it. And I bought it as my first. Regret may be too strong of a word, but the itch wasn't sufficiently scratched so I ended up with an exp ii not even a month later. But then I wanted a blnr, and started obsessing over the updated explorer, so yeah maybe more of a function of my personality (or this forum) rather than the watch.
I'm curious though, with the introduction of the new air king, do any fellow milgauss owners feel a little less special? |
