Does the milgauss wear a lot smaller on the wrist than the sport models?
I really like the look of the white dial version. I like the way the subs wear I was just wondering if the milgauss seems a lot smaller because of the bezel.

I tried a GMT II c, Sub C and milgauss (all versions) previously, and to me I thought they were similar actually...

In fact, some may argue milgauss looks bigger because of the bigger bezels for the GMT and Sub, making it feel like the dial is smaller.

In my experience, the Milgauss wears as big - or possibly bigger - than a 14060 Submariner.

I have the Milgauss and GMTc. They are pretty close in how they wear, but the GMT does seem slightly larger.

To me the sizes are about the same. fatter lugs may make the overall impression slightly larger for GMT C

RJC · 6 July 2011, 04:18 AM

I found the Milgauss GV wore smaller than the Sub C or GMTIIC.

Pretty subjective subject. I have a Milgauss GV & a GMT-IIc. Neither is on my wrist right now (Navitimer 01 today) but I think the Milgauss wears slightly bigger. Probably because the dial is larger without the bezel of the GMT. Also, the Milgauss is heavier with the Faraday Cage. In the end, fairly comparable though.

There's no doubt in my mind...Even though they're both 40mm watches, my GV looks bigger and is heftier than my Sub...

Blokewurm · 6 July 2011, 05:51 AM

I find my GV feels/wears slightly smaller than my Sub C LV and is noticeably more comfortable but the Sub C has more presence visually, if that makes sense. I think generally they're both fairly close in size/feel.

I have tried a milgauss on and found it wears much thicker and heavier compared to the sub

I'd agree and have tried on both recently. I think the Milgauss wears very similar to the new bigger case subs.

pablofields · 6 July 2011, 07:38 AM

Wears large in my opinion. And quite solid and comfy.

Art 1 · 6 July 2011, 07:38 AM

It wears large, IMO.

Owning the White Dial Milgauss as well as the GMTIIc, and wearing the Milgauss almost exclusively now, I agree

with the above three comments, with the exception of the reference to the Sub-C as I do not own that one at this time. I love the white dial Milgauss, and think you will be very happy with it, should you buy one. Best of luck!!

Having both I can attest to that. It feels much bigger on your wrist primarily because it sits so high.

Puffy · 6 July 2011, 08:16 AM

Agree guys - milgauss definitely wears bigger than any of my Rolexes

Mr. K · 6 July 2011, 11:31 PM

I think it wears bigger than my sub date. I do not yet have a sub c to compare it to.
