Please don’t take offence at my reply but the Z-blue clashes with your tattoo’s but the Explorer looks great.

It could well be the light or the way the camera has processed the ZB image but on my screen there is a clash.

So the Explorer would be my choice.

Sorry if I have offended, it’s not the tattoo’s by the way they are fine.

I love the Explorer. I seriously dislike the GV...

But with the ink, the latter looks awesome on you!

I like the simplicity of the Exp I given the colorfulness of your sleeve

Both are great!

I think the Milgauss is a better fit for your wrist, not because of colors/clashing/tattoos or anything like that. It simply has a more appropriate size and presence on your wrist... has a more proportionate lug-to-lug and diameter that looks just a little better for your wrist size. Looks a little more sporty. More substantial, including that delicious crown. And the dial and color are awesome, too, for that matter!

They're both such dynamic pieces. You could wear either as a daily, sport model, or dress piece. But IMO the Explorer on your wrist waxes more dressy. That could be a tuxedo piece.

I like both a lot. The Milgauss matches whereas the Explorer provides a contrast.

I an an Explorer fan and have a 39 which I love.
Whilst not really into Milgauss, I think the Z blue looks fantastic with your ink.

Yeah, I love the 39mm Explorer, it’s my only watch and I couldn’t be happier with it for myself.

But…in the context of your ink, I love the way the z-blue pops with color. Both are great but I’m leaning z-blue here.
