Milgauss black or z-blue dial?

Hello guys.
I have been thinking of Milgauss for a while and just have decided to get one. However, I should choose one of black or z-blue dial. I like both but I have 116613 blue and 116610 black so I am still debating which Milgauss I should take. Would you guys please give me any opinion or advice which one I should take?

Thank you.

Blue. Only because I saw a picture someone posted and that sunburst dial was amazing.

Both look great, but IMO the blue is a bit more stunning.

Currently wearing the black. There's enough going on there without the blue dial. But there's really no wrong answer. I'd wear either.

I own a Z Blue and that's what I would recommend you buy. The color is striking and unusual. That's the reason to buy the watch imo.

Both look fantastic, but that blue wins in a photo finish.

Agreed the blue is amazing and between the two gets my vote

But I bought the white Milgauss mainly because I didn’t have a white dial watch (had black and blue dials).

I love my Milgauss!

For some reason I never liked this watch. But my opinion has changed rapidly. Blue is definitely stunning. Thank you for the pictures.

I find the z blue color a bit off-putting, too many colors
The black dial is tasteful with better contrast and the right amount of pop with a muted matte black.
