Congrats...Mine gets more wrist time than my AP ROC.

Roy_D · 27 April 2018, 11:26 AM

What’s not to love?:) One if my favourites from the current lineup, great pickup & congrats!

The Z-Blue is one of Rolex nicest watch. Congratulation

Psijason · 27 April 2018, 12:21 PM

Love that watch. Understated yet elegant. The word "smart" comes to mind. Nice touch of sharp intelligence. Enjoy!!!

SemperFi · 27 April 2018, 12:37 PM

Cool watch. Congratulations!

Pw92676 · 27 April 2018, 01:06 PM

Congrats, looks great!

snipermaverick · 27 April 2018, 01:11 PM

Congrats! Definitely the best Milgauss around.

Redstapler7 · 27 April 2018, 01:13 PM

Congratulations! The Milgauss is the model that caught my eye and got me into watches. Since then I’ve discovered so many models that I can’t decide what to buy.
I do recall trying the Milgauss on for the first time though... magical. Glad the picture I took of it had Live Photo turned on. I still play it every once in a while to watch the lightening hand move!

Almost got one but couldn't justify having it in my collection. Great watch

Investr · 27 April 2018, 01:25 PM

Of my collection, its the one that people comment on. I flipped it a year ago, and I missed it like crazy so i bought it again and haven’t looked back. Enjoy it sir!!!

Congrats and welcome to the Z-Blue club. I've had mine for about 2 months and absolutely love it. Plus I'm and engineer by trade so it fits well with my profession.

Overkill · 28 April 2018, 03:28 AM

Thank you all so much! It's only been a few days and I can already tell I'm going to thoroughly enjoy this watch for a very long time.

If you don't mind me asking, how hard was it to negotiate the discount?

I was offered the 10% discount on the premise that I was also going to buy a rolesor Lady Datejust (10% on that too), but ended up only going for the Milgauss and still got the 10% off without having to ask. So, I would say I didn't have to negotiate at all!

I should also note that both the black and Z-blue Milgauss models were the same price — the Z-blue was not more expensive!

It's a beautiful watch. That blue dial combined with that green crystal yields a magical result. Congrats OP!

Watch This · 28 April 2018, 04:01 AM

Mine gets compliments all the time. No other Rolex I have owned ever has. Its the green crystal.

TheWatchEnthusiast · 28 April 2018, 05:16 AM

Congratulations on your new purchase. It is funny but I bought the exact watch in a very similar way. It was totally an unexpected purchase. I had never planned to buy the Milgauss until I saw it in the flesh and asked if I can put it one. I loved it immediately. After some negotiation I got also a 10% discount and I made the purchase.

Congrats! I was between this model and the new AK... great watch!

Rolex85 · 28 April 2018, 05:19 AM

looking good

jhunter3 · 28 April 2018, 05:57 AM

Love the off-the-beaten-path character with the Z-blue dial and green crystal, and the whimsical-quirky orange lightning bolt. Definitely not something you see every day and a bit of a departure for Rolex. Exactly my style!

I got the black dial version a few years ago as my first Rolex--and by the way, the dial really looks more chocolate/clay-colored in certain light. I had that black dial with the green crystal in the back of my mind but I couldn't pull the trigger...thinking it was too different. So several years later, when I found a great deal on a pre-owned, I grabbed a blue dial to add to my growing collection.

Love it!

Overkill · 30 April 2018, 10:00 PM

You're absolutely right about the black dial looking brown/coal sometimes. Here is the black Milgauss I was trying on before I decided on the Z-blue.
