Fantastic watch! I hope they bring it back. That lighting bolt seconds hand is so cool and the color is fantastic.

Is this the same blue as on the date just, seems a bit different, or is that just the other colors throwing me off?

Very beautiful, though I do think the white dial is the best looking of the bunch.

Ive had this one 3 times. It’s cool but quirky. The dial is incredible and so unique. I’ll likely buy another one to keep forever.

Very nice, the only sticking point for me on the white is it doesn't have the green crystal, still awesome with that combination

No. The Z Blue is a shimmering electric blue. The photo fails to convey this.

You may be right, I think this angled pic shows the dial colour more naturally

My first Rolex and still my favorite. Every time I put it on I remember how great it is. Love the size and weight, and the blue and green combo change to some cool colors and shades of blue and teal together. So unique and nothing else like it out there. One watch I have also thought of buying a second one to throw in the safe and keep in mint condition for down the road.

I think the green crystal worked better on the original anniversary black-dial GV than with the blue dial.

Absolutely agree- and love throwing it on a Rubber-B strap sometimes:

I think there is an argument for having all 3 in the collection!

I’d be shocked if it dosnt return in the new airking case. ….. though I’d prefer it in the explorer case personally.

Such a looker, the polished case and PCL just suit the dial. I saw one in the flesh a radiologist was wearing in a hospital I was visiting, and I loved it.

It is a beauty.

Several years ago, I tried on the white and was sorely tempted...now she resides in the "ones that got away files."

Wear the black dial almost every day. Likely buying the blue dial for my next birthday. Think it’s a great looking watch.

It's refreshing to see a positive thread about the Milgauss, which over time has become one of the most frequently scorned Rolex models. LOL. I got mine about five years ago, and while I don't wear it as often as my other watches, I plan to keep it indefinitely.

One summer I forced myself to wear it 24/7 for several months and this made me bond with it more. I think I'll get it out and wear it for the next few weeks as a reminder.

Fine by me, shorter queues. In fact, no queue at all in my case, I just walked into my AD and bought it back in 2019.



I know what I like and nobody else needs to like what I like.

For me, this is the best reference of the modern Milgauss.

I always thought these were cool watch but never bought one as I think it wears small on my 7.5-7.75 inch wrist. I do admire them.

Z-Blue is amazing! I wonder if what Rolex has up its sleeve for re-introducing this reference
