Yachtmaster40, never used to notice this watch before but it’s really appealing more and more to me now, both in grey and in blue as well

I don稚 really care for the YM in general, but this one and the gold on OF are the best of the bunch.

Why settle for 1.
While both are awesome the Z Blue was my first Rolex. Followed by the YM a few months later.
They wear differently. The Milgauss sits slightly higher and the YM cradles your wrist effortlessly.
The Milgauss is my daily beater working in the kitchen all week. It痴 taken its fair share of licks and still looks great.

I have the Blue YM and just picked up the Millgaus GV. They are both great pieces.

YM rhodium dial is the most underrated Rolex right now. It’s absolutely beautiful and fits your wrists perfectly. Go with the watch that you will wear daily and be proud of.

Another vote for the YM!

Very different animals. The YM is a dressy sports watch. The Milgaus is difficult to pinpoint, I find it unconventional with its funky seconds hand and odd colour combo, meh (no disrespect to its owners or lovers).

YM I think. The Milgauss is also cool though. I don’t see many YM I’s around - they are underrated. I’d rather have the Milagauss over the YM 2 though.

I like them both honestly, but if I had to pick between one or the other, I'd say the Blue-Z, it's a unique looking piece and I really like it.

It is underrated because it is similar to a TAG Heuer

Actually, I知 surprised the difference is so small, considering the Millgaus has a ferromagnetic inner casing

Here is my YM as well. Everyone talks about the heft of a PM. Weighs the same as a SS but has no bracelet, just the OF which is very light.

Yes, the 2-3 times heavier case makes up for case plus bracelet on the steel models.

Neither for me. I値l take the cuisinart scale.

I like the quirkinesses of the Milgauss even though I immediately think Milhouse from the Simpsons every time I say it
