We all know how popular the Submariner is, but is its styling really that nice compared to some other brands diving watches (Breitling)?

If you want to own a Rolex and you don't dive would you consider a nicer styped watch like the Milgauss vs the Sub-C?

z32turbo · 27 August 2010, 10:28 PM

Sub-C all the way. I don't like not having the date even on a Rolex.

Frogman4me · 27 August 2010, 10:29 PM

Sub C, I am not a fan of the lightning bolt hand

esm · 27 August 2010, 10:31 PM

Sub is an iconic Rolex, so that would be a great 1 rolex, even if you dont dive.
On the other hand, the Milgauss is a more dressy watch, it is beautiful imo.
If you want a dressy rolex, should look into the DJ range (if you must have a date function)

Andrés G · 27 August 2010, 10:32 PM

I would rather have a Sub C that any Breitling diver or a Milgauss. Since we´re talking about styling, it comes down to a personal decision.

Mtlguy · 28 August 2010, 12:26 AM

Does anyone thin the Green Milgauss look will get "tired" quick?

gmt master x · 28 August 2010, 12:35 AM

Sub-c. got mine a few weeks ago, not putting it on until my bday,,,,

Sub.....to me the milgauss is a "sport" watch but I'm not wild about PCL'c on Rolex's sport watches.

Kokyuryoku · 28 August 2010, 01:13 AM

Sub C all the way

sakuraba · 28 August 2010, 01:18 AM

GV! But only because I already have a Sub (older).

IMHO a Milgauss is not a first/ only Rolex, but a part of a rotation. Anyone considering an only-watch-Rolex would do himself a favor by choosing a Sub.

Dustin · 28 August 2010, 01:19 AM

I'm the proud owner of a Milgauss GV for over a year now. And I'm still enjoying the looks of it. Every single day... but the next thing on my wishlist is the new Sub-C! Man, that thing is awesome!!

TattooedGQ · 28 August 2010, 01:22 AM

IMO....EVERYONE'S going to end up getting the Sub-C. There's been a huge influx here already. Be Different and get a Millie.

Friedl41 · 28 August 2010, 01:22 AM

Sub ... i love my GV Milgauss, but it is not a first/only watch - the Sub is. My 16600 Sd is my all time favorite ... at the moment with a green Nato.

DRAWTOOL · 28 August 2010, 01:22 AM

Millgauss, any style any dial....

nauticajoe · 28 August 2010, 01:24 AM

SubC has my vote.

HORNBLOWER · 28 August 2010, 01:25 AM

Definatly the Sub is the one to choose. I never really got the Milgauss appeal

R1@160@alltimes · 28 August 2010, 01:28 AM

GV since I have 16610 already

Smokeytreats · 28 August 2010, 01:51 AM

Sub is too small imo, the milgauss has the heft and weight that just feels true quality to me. I would opt for the Deepsea if you have larger wrists but that is a whole other animal all together.

fc3s2k · 28 August 2010, 02:24 AM

SUB-C for me!!!

Chipmunk · 28 August 2010, 02:34 AM

I'll get the Sub 16610. Check out the GMTIIC, you might like it. Good luck

want to be · 28 August 2010, 02:41 AM

Love the GV !

Friedl41 · 28 August 2010, 02:56 AM

Get the GMTIIc and make me jeaous ...

eric23 · 28 August 2010, 02:58 AM

Both are nice watches, I would go with the Sub-C, but that is just me!

chris russell · 28 August 2010, 03:07 AM

because the black dial model is far less hokey-looking, imho. The Sub-c is a sports watch, the Milgauss much dressier. I went for both.

+1...very well said...

Mosco · 28 August 2010, 03:13 AM

No brainer for me, as i don't really like the new sub - plus the pricepoint is ridiculous. Millie - any dial, any crystal.

notaclctr · 28 August 2010, 03:17 AM

neither, I'd buy another daytona

inspires · 28 August 2010, 03:26 AM

Sub-C if you don't already have a Submariner in your collection, but if you do, I would go Milgauss GV
