Milgauss Incoming

Bought this last week but finally getting around to posting. What can I say, I just love this watch.

I have wanted a smooth bezel professional model to compliment my 14060m and initially went with the Explorer but found it too aesthetically similar to my sub. I then wanted to buy the black dial Milgauss but got caught up in the hype of everyone on the forums saying the z-blue was the only way to go. Bought the z-blue and just found it too loud for my taste. The green crystal and orange accents on the black dial give me just enough uniqueness I want while still being low key enough to be an everyday wear in the office. My AD was kind enough to give me the call in relatively short order.

I picked one up a month ago from my AD and am going to get the Blue dial as well. The Milgauss is a quirky under the radar Rolex and I think it is likely to be discontinued or refreshed in April of next year.

Love the Milgauss. I have owned the white and blue dial. Blue dial is awesome for sure. Just not my thing but will for obvious reasons be more collectible. My previous Milgausses....Milgauii?:

Congrats & welcome to the club! Here's mine, purchased a few months ago. I recently put it on the RubberB, which I really like.

That white dial looks amazing.
Question, I’ve read here owners thoughts that the Milgauss wears top heavy and sits unusually on the wrist.

Has this been your experience? If you own other Rolexes, is it similar to any other reference you have?

Thanks

I love the extra weight and how it wears relative to say the Explorer. It was a selling point for me. To each their own though.
