Milgauss Blue Z returns...a watch that shines at night!

Hi fellow Rolex lovers...

How many of you feel the love (strong enough to own) for the Milgauss Blue Z? As for me, i had it last year which i sold off couple of months back only to experience the lacuna and a strong urge to get it back...so bought it back this week...all this for that GREEN CRYSTAL and the way it shines as light falls on it...
And its the only watch which has received compliments and curious glances, in my line up which has the Bluesy, Hulk and the Daytona Blue TT!!!
Love the Milgauss with that Green crystal, nothing pops as it - especially during night...
Ofcourse, i do concede that it is equally boring when you look at it STRAIGHT ON!!! So i feel this is a viewer’s watch and a not a wearer’s ;)

Couple of fotos here, one from ROLEX website...what a stunner..

Congrats! I have always liked the milgauss but never pulled the trigger. I will likely add one in the near future.

Got one off the forum last month. Always had liked the blue so decided I needed it in the collection.

This is one watch that looks so much better in person than in photos, there must be some sort of warmth or glow that is not in the visible light spectrum because I agree, there is something I cannot explain that this watch has in person that is lacking in photos.

Congrats!

But please do tell us you took off the stickers by now!

I see this in the ADs once in a while - unique but to me not a "must-have" piece.

The one in your first photo is a black dial GV though, not the Blue Z.

I bought the black gv as it was quirky. I feel the blue gv is far too quirky...

This is the one for which I have been waiting on for a long time now.

Sigh.

But I am very happy to see you enjoying yours so much.

I passed one up last month and have been regretting it ever since. I also passed up an amazing deal for a white dialed Milgauss about six months ago and regret that too.

The under appreciated Rolexes are my favorites (plus the BLNR).
