Sub vs Milgauss

[B2 Stealth]

Submariner is a timeless classic which should be the foundation of any Rolex collection.

I have 2 subs and would not move either for a MG. Keep in mind, I do like the MG, especially the z-blue, but I would not part with a sub for it.

I would not trade my sub for a milgauss.

I have a Milgauss, would not trade for a Submariner.

Real world advice: if you can’t swing both, stop looking for more watches. Be happy with what you have. Watch collecting is not a cheap hobby. Watch appreciation is free. You have an awesome watch, appreciate it and don’t look towards a collection until you can easily acquire one straight up without a trade/sale and have your other financial priorities in order.

This is great advice and I would wholeheartedly concur.

I like the Milgauss and would consider owning one, but I've always seen it as a companion piece.

Both are really awesome watches. I wouldn't trade a watch you enjoy though, just add imo.

I wouldn’t but you should if you prefer the mg

I love the milgauss. Everyone has a sub, the milgauss is much different and way way more unique of a watch.

All that being said is still choose the sub if I were given the option

^This. Right. Here.

my preference is the milgauss (either one). That puts me in the distinct minority on TRF. Ultimately the best bang for your buck is what you like best

I would never trade a sub for a milgauss, it's like trading a lexus for a camry.

If you plan on having a large Rolex collection, go for the Milgauss. If you are a one watch guy, keep the Sub.

Sub all day every day

I like love the classic and understated design of the Sub for sure, but the MG seems arguably a bit more special and funkier (I personally love the design and lightning hand). To me it's just a choice between a timeless model and design and something a bit more unique from Rolex, I find them both equally attractive, albeit in different ways. However, if the MG gets discontinued soon, this could arguably make it significantly more expensive and difficult to get. I'm not really concerned with resale value, as they both retain it well enough and I'm not looking to flip. Just trade if/when necessary to continue developing the collection.

Absolutely not. I own an older sub and black dial GV. I like both but given the choice I'd choose the sub any day and if you have a new 41mm, there's no good reason to get rid of the Sub. Just MHO.

Get what you want, but this is a no brainer to me! Gotta be the Sub.

[Nikrnic]

Another personal preference question that l honestly can't answer what should be your choice.. I have both, actually a 5 and 6 digit Sub and a Zblue. I actually love the Milgauss enough to add a black gv as well. If I had to put them in a preferred order it would be like splitting hairs for me but I'll say, in order 14060M, Zblue, black gv (I'm thinking), 114060. Anyway, as said many times Buy what you Love and You can't go wrong.. Happy Choosing
