What if the future Milgauss was like that?

It would be a watch that would sell a lot. Ceramic bezel with red triangle. Lightning Hand.
I think it's very nice.





What do you think?

Interesting, and an improvement, although I don’t follow why bezel counts up to only 6. And in some ways redundant to a Sub, no?

Yeah, that bezel has me confused. What good is it for?

Add a zero behind each number, and you've got 60 minutes.

Put a 12hr bezel on it and it'd be the only watch I'd ever wear again. I wish Rolex do a rotating 12 hr but I think they know it'd kill a lot of GMT ExpII sales because it's pretty much the most practical tool watch for today that could be made!

On a Milgauss, with 300m WR, game over.

12hour bezel for sure; a watch like this would be 2x the MSRP and waitlisted out the wazoo.

Sign me up. Simplicity at its best. No crazy colors, however, prefer a traditional second hand. But it looks good.

I don't like it. I think the current Milgauss is more different, rather than just another SS ceramic. Just my opinion, but too similar to the Submariner.

wouldnt be bad, I wonder how that would be if they used the OP 39's case parameters but thickened it a little to fit the cage.

Looks neat. Specially without the crown guards.

If it had crown guards then it would be too submariner looking

Now that someone did a mockup, Rolex will never do it

For me, it’s a bit too much of a DJ/Sub mishmash. I much prefer the current model.

The watch looks cool , but Milgauss is not a sub or GMT. So keep the Milgauss the way it is or give it something that Rolex hasn’t utilized in their other designs.
