Got It - ZBlue arrives

I know there is not much love for the Milgauss on TRF and I dont really care much about the naysayers. Probably a bit like marmite - you either love it or you dont! However, I must say that the ZBlue is something else and I love it. The pictures don't really do it justice, it is far better wearing on the wrist, seeing how it catches and reflects the light on the blue dial.

Not everything is for everyone. Even the iconic sub, skydewllers and panda daytona have plenty of naysayers.

Go with what you love. Congratulations on your acquistion. That's a serious Rollie lineup you have there.

Very nice Z-Blue, congrats. Fits right up there with the big boys, Blue Sky and Daytona.

Really? Can't say I've noticed.

The Z-Blue is a stunner. Congratulations.

Ya the unpopular, but actually popular, but not as popular as the hyped references. Actually I hear that the Milgauss used to trade well above it's retail price before even the Subs and GMTs started to do so. Maybe the older guys here know about that.

This is an amazing reference. I love that it’s not as hyped as the others. Congrats on the new ZBlue!

Love the Z Blue congrats! Some prefer ceramic, but I think it would be boring if all Rolex looked like Subs and GMTs. Z Blue is high on my shopping list

Huge congrats on the striking piece! I would be inclined to wear both pieces on each wrist for the fun of it. That easily diversifies your range of Rolex watches. Enjoy them all in the best of health!

Thank you all for your kind comments. There's much more love out there for the Milgauss than i imagined.

Thanks. Yes, three months wait for the Milgauss. I don't hold out much hope for the BLRO & Hulk that i have a registered interest on at the AD but if it ever happens i'll let you all know!
