I like the white, but I'm jaded since I have a black dial Expy and am looking for a white dial model of rollie myself.

Funny though that opinions seem to be split evenly.

I went for the black dial, as I think that the white is too stark in contrast.

I must admit I love my White dial Milgauss. I am slowly getting use to the no date issue.

White Milgauss

I own a White Milgauss and would say it has the most stunning dial. I've also owned a Blue Sub. Although I loved the blue sub, the white Milgauss is total class! The case and white dial gives it a sporty and dressy feel - beautiful watch!

That's why I choose buy Milgauss first. And yes, white dial is my priority.

In this case, black gets my vote.

The orange marker is way too colorful on white for me.
Too much of colors on a Rolex would make it looks inexpensively, I think.

DAMN! 150 juta?!
But I guess it worth the rarity in Indo.

I'll be back Dec or Jan, probably will spending couple of
days in Jakarta, I'll let you know

How long the order would take for white Milgauss?

yes...I know that...therefore the milgauss is not on my list...

however, the owner of my AD has promised I will get one (or two at my request) once it's in....who would like to have, please let me know in advance.....I will pass it on to you (I do not think he would sell to you straightly as I have bought 6 Rolexes from him within 6 months.).....

Hi,

I’m coping with the exactly same dilemma….
I tried the black one last Saturday and I completely fell in love with it. But, the more I see pictures of the white one, the more doubt is increasing.
For the White one:
An amazing dial, very uncommon and fun ;
Very contrasted colours that make it a very “fun” Rolex ;
This one is certainly the closest to the original Milgauss.
Against the White one:
Seems to be a summer’s watch, not exactly an everyday watch ;
Can look like a “toy”, if I go further, almost look like a “Swatch.”

Of course you can argue all these points.
I must confess that the desire for the white one is growing very much in me.
I’ve already a black Rolex (a GMT II/c), so it would be a good way to change.

I can’t make up my mind!!!!
And my AD has only the black one….

Please help me!!!!

P.S. : Funny to see that most of the posts are in favour of the White dial and the poll says the opposite….

I guess you're right !!!!

Many thanks for your help !!!!

By the way, do you know how the protection against magnetism works in this watch ?
It's something like a faraday cage in soft iron, but I don't know anything more about that....

Thank you again, I hope to read you soon....
