Hulk vs ZBlue Milgaus

Am I mad, just tried both on and prefer the Milgaus. Having finally found a hulk it did not sing to me whereas the Milgaus did. Opportunity to pull trigger and I am second guessing myself.

If you like blue over green then not a surprising choice, both cracking watches.

Yep agreed.
Both beautiful. If blue sings to you, then the milgaus it is!

Give yourself a day or two to settle on your pick. Some models just don't do it for me either.

The one watch you don't need is the watch that doesn't "sing" to you!

Congrats on your incoming Milgauss Blue!

Ha ha thanks all. Going to sleep on it. Although I think the Milgaus is inevitable 😀

Get what you like but you'll eventually get both anyway so it doesn't matter.

I had a similar situation, and the blue Milgauss just screamed at me. I got it as my first and only Rolex, and I absolutely love it. One of the most beautiful pieces that Rolex makes imo.

Go for it!

Get it. Z-blue is a stand out in the Rolex line up. Beautiful dial, green crystal, orange lighting bolt second hand? Yes please. It's not the default choice, but that's what makes it interesting.

The Z-blue is a stunning companion to your 116710.

Buy what you like. If the Milgaus is to your taste then get that.

I had the same dilemma and went with the z-blue. A really beautiful piece with an appeal that grows stronger with each wearing.

Imo the zblue is really stunning, I would love to have one but I'm battling with that orange hand in contrast with that whole zblue combo.

I had the GV but it was not this stunning imo

Glad to hear your sleeping on it and not making rash decisions.
Both great choices. I was in the same boat not too long ago. AD had both, but I went with the hulk. I felt it was more "me" plus ceramic bezel and brushed bracelet would mean I wouldn't worry about scratches.
Good luck!

As an LV owner, the ZBlue Milgauss is more than likely going to be my second purchase. Both great watches and either one is a winner!

I will look forward to seeing the incoming of the new Milgauss!

I fully love the Hulk but totally understand your position (the heart wants what it wants) and the Blue Milguass is a stunning watch. The guy who owns my local wine shop wears one and it looks great - I see it WAY too often!!!
