Milgauss: Blue or Black dial?
For the modern Milgaus which dial color would you choose? The black or z blue?
I went for the black mainly because I thought it looked a little more subdued and less going on than the blue dialed version. I thought with the orange lettering and green glass, the blue dial was just too much. |

I went white but you won't go wrong. Milgauss is a cool watch.

Black as I have that one.
The blue dial does look good in sunshine though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Blue GV. Prefer the uniform hour index color.

I had a black non lv but the Zblue kept haunting me so finally one day I called my AD and struck a deal to trade for it. That was 2.5 years ago and I love the Z as much as the day I got it. However I love all Milgauss and am a big fan of the 3131 movement, it's the smoothest winding of any piece I've ever owned and am thinking of adding a black gv as well.

Saw them side by side. The black dial did it for me, with the two-color lumes and the white and orange dial perimeter (the blue dial perimeter is all orange.)
Either one is a great choice. Check out the dial under UV light. Under more normal conditions, the lumes are all bluish. Go figure. 100T1234 - Copy.JPG |

Blue for sure. I’ve owned the black. As great as it is, the dial is hard to appreciate because it gets muddled and dull. It’ll eventually wear you thin.

I think the colours are more coherent and well defined on the black GV. The Blue seems a bit random it's colour scheme, and rarely photographs well.

The GV black dial was my first Milgauss . But my current are non-GV white and black, and Z-blue, so you know my preference. My order of preference is white, Z-blue, and non-GV black.

Although I own the black gv, I prefer the z blue and may add it in the future.

Milgauss: Blue or Black dial?
Black is beautiful; something about the blue just doesn't tie together for me!!! (Morning Sun and Black Dial below!)

Exactly. I found the black dial look “hazy” because of the green glass. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Z-Blue is the most unique. It also has the most color theory going on, but that's a post for another day. The black one is not very crisp.
