On the Milgauss there's a colorful band with orange stitching. Where does one buy such a band? It matches the face of the Milgauss perfectly!

The Migauss blue photographs 10X better than it looks.
Get the Blnr. |

BLNR is the watch that will make you happiest in the long run. IMHO it has a superior case, braclet and movement and blue on black is more versatile. I had the Milgauss for a couple of days once and couldn't bond with it and fortunately was able to return to the AD. The Milgauss case felt a bit light, the lightning bolt hand seemed a bit out of place on a Rolex and I found it difficult to glance at the time through the smokey green crystal. The movement in my GMT-IIc (LN) is the best I've encountered yet. Go for the BLNR. Be Happy! Cheers!

I already own an all-blue Breitling SuperOcean Heritage 46 with silicone strap that I wear almost daily so I don't think the BLNR is different enough to entice me. The unconventional look that jeffgo888 mentoned is what appeals to me about the Milgauss. That, and the Zblue with green-tinted crystal.
The OP asked which watch to choose but I'm only asking what band he showed in his choices of Milgauss. The colorful one that has orange stitching. Is that rubber or leather? It looks hand-painted to match the watch. I'd like to get one if I end up buying the Milgauss. |

I have to say, I don't think either of those models look good on a strap.
The wide cases look much better on bracelet. If I had to choose between those tow, I'd take the BLNR for more versatility and the date. |

I got the Z-Blue Milgauss as my first nice watch, still love it and wear it often. I ended up getting a Tudor Black Bay Black which I wear on a black NATO strap to switch things up or when I'm doing activities that aren't good for polished watches.

I personally really like the Milgauss, but I can't picture it on a strap of some sort.
If that's the way you're going to be wearing it, I'd go with the BLNR.

New question: I've read that it's top heavy due to the insulation against electromagnetic waves and that this causes the case to be thicker than it might otherwise be. Anyone have anything to comment about these things I've read?
I went to my local Mayor's jewelers a few minutes ago to try one on but they had to close early due to a water leak. Because of these concerns, I won't buy one online unless I've tried one on and fund it to be comfortable and not too heavy or tall. |

It's all a moot point as I went to my local dealer today, tried it on and loved it so I bought it.
I have no clue as to why the pic is flipped. Don't know how to fix it. Sorry. |

The milli looks much better off the bracelet than the BLNR does.

Do yourself a favor and get the Milgauss, you will enjoy it every single day! Got mine recently in Miami at the AD and haven't been able to take it off (not that ever want to...)

As much as I love the blnr, I would choose the milgauss. It's much more unique and it looks cool.

I know this thread is over a year old, but I thought I will get the flame going.
I got the BLNR earlier this year, and I am also going for the Milgauss Z-Blue. Waiting for delivery! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk
