My first Rolex
Milgauss was my favorite from the moment I decided to get Rolex. I was sold on green glass at hello. The only question was - blue or black? I know, black is not the favorite choice here, but I really like it.
I know that the wrist shots of a new watch are quite popular, but I wanted to show Milgauss from the different angle. I hope I did justice to its beauty.

Great choice. It's very unique to have the GV Black Dial, I've only ever seen one in the store.

Enjoy!

Congrats on the amazing reference!! And well doe on those artistic pictures!

As for your question: Black for me.. the watch stands out as is, I wouldn't want it to stand out more with the blue..
