Two blue dial options
Appreciate thoughts between these two options for a little colour in my collection.
I have the Grand Seiko sbgh267 currently but am considering selling and getting a milgauss blue. Other regular wear pieces I own are the SD4k, Grand Seiko snowflake and I hope to add a Rolex GMT next year so both Rolex and Grand Seiko will continue to be represented in the collection for regular wrist time. Thoughts? The Grand Seiko is intricate and subtle, the milgauss less subtle but more fun perhaps? Both are rare in the wild, perhaps the GS is more a connoisseurs piece? I was considering just adding the milgauss but trying to be sensible and choose one or the other...

Guess no one has an opinion? That's fine but is this is the wrong sub forum as it seems to have a lot of views but no responses?

I sort of prefer the GS although having owned it I am biased. My favorite milgauss is the black dial GV.
Really nice balanced collection by the way

I would choose the GS, as the Milgauss has always been my least favorite Rolex.

Out of those two, I would pick the GS.

I think the Milgauss blue dial is gorgeous. I've tried it on and saw it again up close last summer (guy sitting next to me on a plane was wearing one). I can understand your interest in this particular Rolex, for sure.

Likewise - that micro engraving is very neat

Black Milgauss looks better than blue. So GS

Wow, strong GS victory. I love it but am trying to stuck to one in one out for a while and two blue dials would be unnecessary hence the discussion. I might give it a new lease of life with a strap and decide if I love it or fancy a change afterwards.
IMG_19122018_182001_(680_x_680_pixel).jpg Black milgauss with green tint is cool but I would probably want to brush the bracelet as I am hoping to add a black GMT next year so will have the black with PCL covered.
