BLNR, unless you can get some smoking deal on the Milgauss because it is in lesser demand.

For me it comes down to aesthetic and functionality. If you travel a lot and want to keep track of time, the GMT is the way to go. However, the Milgauss has a very bold new look and certainly stands out amongst other Rolex models. I agree with Racerdj in that I would try them on and go with what feels right on your wrist. Excellent choices, both!

BLNR for me. Add a Milgauss is you love both. BLNR is truly spectacular and you will find it both incredibly unique and gorgeous.

Most people seem to prefer Sub.

Thats why in your place i would choose MasterpieceGauss !

Dont go with the flow. You have to be like Switch in The Matrix film.

Or the Twins! Both definitely use Milgauss.

hmmm

I vote for the MILGAUSS, simply because it IS unique.
1). It has that " Stand-alone" personality, meaning, for me, it is a watch I would see someone that has a unique, indifferent personality *( not bad I hope) wearing.
Someone that is 90 degrees outside and wears a linen shirt and shorts with Ray Ban sunglasses and sandals....

2). BLNR, more technical of course, someone more top level exec....

heck. what do I know? lol.... but thats kinda what I see...just me..:)

Im choosing now between a 16613 and the Milli...and BOY, is the 16613 simply memsemrixzing

Some of my opinion:-
1) The new Air King is taking over the design of the current Milgauss line and with the Omega anti-magnetic movement far more superior, I think the Milgauss is due for a product renewal. Perhaps in 2017?
2) The Z-Blue comes out in 2014 and here's a bit of speculation, if the Milgauss line gets refreshed in 2017, the Z-Blue may really be collectible. Furthermore, it isn't really very popular.

Hence, from collectability point of view, my opinion is to get the Z-blue.

The BLNR on the other hand, is a popular model, more talk about, everybody wants it but not necessarily collectible in the future.

I voted BLNR but the Milgauss pictures you posted look mighty fine. Good Luck with your decision! Get the one you really want right now and get the other later...

Its all on you man...we are not wearing the watch.

The smart money is on the BLNR...trivial knowledge.

For nearly the same price, the MG has 2 less complications...not to mention the ceramic bezel and the triplock crown.

It will sound obvious but one is a GMT, the other is not.
Do you have any use of the GMT function?

The Milgauss looks amazing when you see it in the flesh, even the best pic doesn't do it justice and you never see them in the wild, bnlr I see all the time.

Milgauss is more dressy, bnlr is more sporty, having both would be the ultimate set for all occasions though!
