The Milgauss looks okay. Not bad but not great. I wish the orange were a different color... like black.

The Sub works much better.

I could potentially see a white dial OP39.

White or black face go well with the tat but not the orange.
I bet a SubLV would look the best

Thumbs up! The white Milgauss seems to be very much unloved, but it looks pretty sharp and distinctive.

Like the art work but not with the white dial, black looks better

I think it looks amazing. The white Milgauss is the perfect foil to the Submariner. The Submariner and the DJ are both icons but they are both fairly conservative. In my opinion, the Milgauss is the personality plus of the Rolex lineup. So you have one all-time classic in the Submariner and one full of personality Milgauss to mix it up. One brushed and one super polished.

Good luck on whatever you choose, but I am a huge fan of the white Milgauss.

I agree. I think black would be the best color with the tats. The colorful watch detracts from the tats and the tats detract from the watch, IMO.

Now that's an arm to match the watch. Really beautiful.

Both black sub and white milg look nice. Your colorful arm makes simple color dials pop!

That’s looks fantastic with ink and jacket ... Did you buy the milgauss or just trying it on ?

Both look good. Milgauss “pops” and sub blends in more to me.

Sub looks great but the pics are not equal. One pic with sub has long sleeve and milgaus has no sleeve. I think the milgaus is very nice. Try it on with a long sleeve and compare the two.both are very nice.

Not a fan of Milgauss watches. And I never understood the appeal of dying one's skin. The combo doesn't do a thing for me. Please do not take offense. You asked.

Sub hands down. I think you need a black dial watch to mute the colors of your tattoos surrounding the watch

Thoughts on the white milgauss with my colourful arm? (Pic)

No one asked if you’re a fan of tattoos or not lol... but unnecessary with that one

Wow those tattoo's I bet make finding a watch to match quite hard...
Gotta be neutral colours to go with that much colour...

Tattoo's not my thing, but I can appreciate that they're good tattoos and not poorly done.

It's a no from me... I think you should look at a similar watch though... White OP 39. I think would actually work really well for you.

Pretty sure this is the first time I've actually liked the Milgauss.

That thing looks GREAT with your art.

Explorer looks fantastic... but just confirms what I said previously. The neutral colours work. The busier ones do not. Good luck anyway! :)

Absolutely love the look on an orange band of some sort

I didn't even think about the Grape until I read this post. I'm a +1 on that. I think it would look awesome with the ink.
