Next hunt..milgauss zblue or bluesyC
Hi guys, looking for the next piece to add to SDc.

Some background, last flip was bluesy due to low wrist time and the TT being a tad loud for my environment and personality.. but that sunburst blue is just so pretty!

Had the Millie GV black for awhile too and find it alot easier to strap on for a day out because its all SS though I'm not a guy for PCL but I can live with it.

I have never own the zblue before hence can that dial hold its par against the one on the bluesy?

Would love to hear some comments, cheers!

Based on your post, I'm not feeling a second time arounf with the Bluesy for you. As for the Z-blue, that color combo is very different.....

How about the blue YM?

Or, if you want a blue dial and brushed bracelet, how about the IWC Mark XVIII le Petit Prince? I love the feel of that bracelet on the wrist.

The blue YM is very nice but it somehow hasn't struck a chord with me, perhaps I need a long time to appreciate the bezel. The mark 18 is pretty sweet too but Rolex's got a pretty firm grip on me..haha

The Milgauss is a versatile watch, and the green crystal, adds a bit of flair.

That blue dial on DJ41 is drool worthy too, especially with the stick indexes but IMO I find the crown being too undersized for the 41mm

The blue SkyD looks pretty in the pics but I'm not sure how it will be in the flesh, its definitely a very affordable Rolex with that level of complications.

Sounds like the SkyD could be for you, try it on soon. Also give the YM one more try.

Just curious - no DJ41 with sunburst blue dial?

Think about the glory... fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet, thin slim tailored index markers.

I can see it now... my next purchase. lol jk. DD 40 in rose gold is my next joint.

Well, if you've already flipped the bluesy, why not give the Z-Blue a shot?
