This is a very good point... traditional is timeless

It looks very interesting, but I prefer having a date.

They have blinged it up a little with the introduction of polished cases, white gold edged lume hours markers and glossy dials......

I'd so love them to re-intoduce a proper non-date Sub again, matt dial, domed glass, satin case finish etc.

I'd put the Milgauss in that category at least up to the LV crystal and blue dial.

No doubt but it's nice to have more gold models.

I'm with you, but I'd add Sea Dweller 4K and Explorer II to that list. I hope none of the above are ever done in PM. I'm a caveman.
