I asked this on TZ and it was 3/1 for the LV so I will ask what you folks what you think.. I have a white Milgauss and a LV sub.

I got board with the sub so I bought the Milgauss, planned to sell the LV, can't justify both so one is going, neither is used for there intended purpose, just a daily driver, I don't dive and I don't work in a nuke plant, but I am having a hard time deciding which to move on. ( date is nice but not important, not a real fan of the cyclops)

LV pros, bezel can be switched from blk to green for a different look, maxi dial, date, rotatable bezel is useful for timeing things, can be put on a nato or rubber strap and look good.

Milgauss pros, love the white dial, very uniqe looking, very ledgeable dial, cool second hand, better bracelet, sit's a bit lower than the sub and is a bit more comfortable, but wears as big as the sub.

I voted LV because of the bezel (I constantly use the bezel to time things), date feature (I can't wear a watch sans date) & the fact that a Rolex Sub is classic, timeless & a true watch industry icon (not so sure you could say that about the new Milgauss). Then again, I'm extremely biased. You can do polls/voting on multiple forums until the cows come home & no matter what the outcome, only YOU can decide which is right for you. Good luck w/ the decision. Cheers.

i voted LV, can't stand that orange seconds :(

Not a fan of the cyclops but I love divers. So LV got my vote. I like the Milgauss too but the Submariner has always attracted me.

LV, like the green/black option and the white Mil does not sing to me particularly... All in all - hard to go wrong though - both are great - good luck.

LV no doubt.

I LOVE that LV Submariner with a black bezel. I can't believe Rolex hasn't officially launched that variant, as to me, it epitomizes the Submariner Rolex should have built: maxi-dial and hands, brushed bracelet, throw a GMT-IIc bracelet on it and you have the perfect Submariner. I used to own two Submariners, but I liked the cleaner look of the SD, but if I would seriously consider building what I just described, and leave the green bezel in the drawer, just in case I ever sold it.

I do love the LV and the black bezel is so beautiful as well.

C. Davidson · 3 October 2008, 05:04 PM

Wow, tough call. I went with the white Milgauss. Something different from my GMT.

LV, what really bothers me about the white dialed MG is that the lume on the hands does not match the markers....Why, seems like an oversight on Rolex's part.

The LV would be my choice between the two. More versatility.

I was in a similar situation a month or so ago, faced with having to decide on whether to buy the LV Sub or Milgauss. Picked the LV...though I have to admit that I'm aiming the Milgauss in a few months' time.
