That would be me. Purchased a z-blue in 2021 as my very first Rolex and sold it in 2022 thinking it was too heavy. Purchased a modern GMT shortly thereafter and realized it wasn’t heavy at all in comparison, and repurchased it less than a year later (luckily after prices came back down). Love it and don’t see myself parting with it for many years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Embarrassed to own such a watch that has been shunned by Google and everyone.

Have both in my collection, and the z-blue is in the process of being sold, pending funds.
I love the dial of the Milgauss, and especially the green crystal, but I sold for the same reasons I sold the 116900 Air-King; just a tad too thick for what it is (over 13mm) (3 hander/ no complication) I have the Green OP41 and decided to keep it instead as I prefer the wear, and the equally love the lacquer dial.

I like the look of brushed vs polished case. Both have dials that stand out, Milgauss is attractive but I feel that the OP is more versatile.

This or That - OP (Green Dial) versus Milgauss (Z-Blue)
Quote:
Have had mine since 2019 and wear it as part of a weekly rotation of a varied collection that include larger watches. Though I have read on TRF about it(and previous gen Air King) being “top heavy” and that being a reason others have let it go, I personally have never noticed that being the case. For comparison, I have a Black Bay ETA that I do notice to be top heavy and the imprint on the dorsum of my wrist at the end of the day supports that. I imagine that your experience will vary depending on your build and the shape of your wrist. |

Out of these two probably OP, but exclusively 36, never 41. I like the black dial Milgauss with white glass very much, though, in my opinion, it's the best of the "modern" Milgausses.

I love both but didn't have the opportunity to buy the Milgauss despite being on the list. I do have the OP36 green though and posted some pictures to this thread:

OP but not in green and because of that I voted Milgauss...not a bad alternative by any means

Green OP is more conservative. Blue Milgauss is younger and a bit more flashy.
Neither option is wrong. It depends what you're looking for. |

I voted for the Milgaus. But I think it's pretty close.

Seems like it's a win of a beautiful Rolex model like the Zblue over the hype. There is hope after all.

I am pretty sure the Air King and Yacht Master II are number 1 and 2 on the most divisive/disliked Rolex models. I'm not even sure Milgauss is top 5. Sure, some are not fans of the Milgauss second hand, but the Z-Blue has been a forum darling almost from the start.
I previously had a non-GV black dial Milgauss. I liked the case/weight/fit but it was just too similar to my 39mm Explorer to keep both. Even earlier, I had the white dial Milgauss. I sold that because I'm an idiot. The green OP is attractive to look at, but I doubt I'd wear it or any other green watch very often. Come to think of it, I breifly owned the white dial 39mm OP and sold that as well...another bad choice. |

Chose this. The OP 36 wore so much better on my smaller sized wrists. Really loved the idea of the Z-Blue, but wasn’t nearly as comfortable.
The lacquer green is gorgeous. Incredible piece that punches above its weight. Would be a shame if Rolex were to discontinue this year at W&W 2024. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I have both and it has to be the z blue; I may be biased as it was my engagement watch and wedding watch/)
