116400GV

More similar to DJII, DJ41, DD40?

I've tried on all three of the above but for some odd reason the Mil proportions seem to feel the best... Am I alone here?

HogwldFLTR · 9 December 2020, 07:18 AM

It feels more substantial but closest to the DD40. It's taller which makes a difference!!!

I haven’t tried any of those 3; it has some similarities to the 39 mm explorer / OP cases. Some say they are thick but others way thicker (SD line comes to mind) but loved so why not!

Cool pic- almost has a Planet Ocean feel

JoseR · 9 December 2020, 09:27 AM

Same proportion as the AK 116900. Same watch, different dial and no PCL.

JP(Canada) · 9 December 2020, 12:28 PM

You're not alone. I also think the proportions are ideal.

I’m not sure why they are so polarizing among collectors, but i think they look fantastic.

Maybe it is the funky second hand, or it does not a numbered bezel?
But people who like the Milgauss will see good design in the layout of the dial, the engineering of the additional casing and the history, more importantly it is low profile and yet it is a quality Rolex.

Vive la différence! Imagine how boring it would be if everyone liked the same watch (even if it seems like that sometimes).

ommmjido · 9 December 2020, 05:16 PM

it was my first Rolex 10 yrs ago and I still love it!

kans86 · 9 December 2020, 07:00 PM

I have the Milgauss and DD40 and the Milgauss is more comfortable. In fact I feel the Milgauss more comfortable than most other Rolex sport models. I think it is because the case shape and case back make the watch embrace the wrist better.

Andad · 9 December 2020, 07:07 PM

No.

No. I like the Milgauss because it's like a rather special OP. I also like the weight and it's bling. It's grabs the eye far more than any of my TT watches.

shoppy · 9 December 2020, 08:32 PM

Had the original DJ2 found it was ok have the current Dj41mm but my favourite and most work watch is my Z blue. Perfect everyday watch and I find it so comfortable to wear.

wgdaytona · 9 December 2020, 08:35 PM

Coconut - you are not alone, I love the Milgauss.

Happy.Hades · 10 December 2020, 03:59 AM

I have a 18.5 cm wrist and I usually prefer larger cases, but the Milgauss is just so beautiful that it hypnotizes.

It's very comfortable on the wrist, but personally I found it too thick.
