Milgauss blue, so attractive and contemporary!



Those images are from the watchblog web site. Not much talk about it.

Blue and green must never been seen was the old rule. This proves that rule untrue! Great looking watch! Dies anyone if it's at a premium over the old gv?

Very nice. I would be tempted to buy this if it wasn't for that lightning bolt hand.

The blue dial is so stunning that it overcomes the ridicules lightning bolt second hand. It has got me too thinking about one.

I really love this look but am still on the fence if I can grow with this watch once the honeymoon is over?

...all those who thought that green glass and blue dial don't work together were wrong.

The first Milgauss 116400GV with blue dial arrived Saturday in Denmark... I snapped some shots for you.

Personally, I am not impressed with the new Milgauss GV... the electric "Z" blue combined with the sunburst dial gives a "hazy" appearance to the dial which again makes telling the time more difficult than on the two other Milgauss models.

At an angle, the "Z blue" turns into a deeper blue, though... very nice, but most of the time you'd look at the watch directly and not from the side. So all in all not a watch for me:












NO THANKS... I will stay with my Milgauss GV 116400 black dial:

thanks for the live pix, bo.

the "haze" of the original GV is the one thing that put me off of it, and was the reason why i at first liked the black dial better (more crisp). in the end, i've come around to the GV and the great combination of the dial, markers and green.

i'm not convinced by the blue, though.
