Incoming NEW Blue Milgauss !
Got this Saturday, some of you may know

Saturday I originally went in to take a look at the BLNR and WG SkyD Charcoal dial on Black Strap (anticipated to buy one or the other)

And with some requests of pics, I've decided to do an Incoming thread on it (which is very rare lol)
I personally thought it was the ugliest thing in the world from the Rolex line. when I saw pics of it all over the net I said ew. Even in person when they showed it.. I only took a glimpse and just pushed it to the side. At the end he said He has to put it away till the next VIP, so the least I could do is try it on for him.

For my personal taste.. I told him.. way too many colors.. Orange, Blue, Green, White, Silver etc etc just too much colors in the dial

so.. I agree'd..to try it on
I ended up walking out with it, 1 try was all it took. Surprisingly I was fond of it
After selling my other Date Just II I've been wanting another smooth bezel but just couldn't figure out which one .. nothing sang to me.. and I think I may have just found a smooth bezel that sang loudly lol

Already in public I've gotten compliments on it,
and one weird one.. a gentleman standing beside me ended up stating "I believe the real one has a black dial with white and orange markers"
I replied, sir you have an amazing eye ! This real one is the newer blue dial and unfortunately I guess rolex decided to leave out the white and orange marker

As request I've taken some lume shots and tried for different lighting shots.

Enjoy ! I certainly am

Congratulations. Those are some great looking pictures. Never thought too much of the Milgauss, but this version and your pics have definitely changed my mind about this watch. Well done.

cant say where, they asked me to keep it a secret because they had a few people call in before me and they were on the waiting list :X

As I see a lot of members here on TRF also from my area lol.. I'll keep that promise

And for the price, yes I did still get a discount but not much. Cheaper than what I read about the classifieds here though.



And thanks everyone for your kind words !!
It really is a beauty, hated the lighting bolt thingy but I got used to not noticing it
