How does the Milgauss feel on the wrist?

I am thinking of adding Milgauss to my collection. I haven't tried one on and don't know if I will actually get a chance as I have been offered a good deal and I know it will go soon if I don't pull the trigger. So how does the watch actually sit on the wrist? Does it feel same size as subc or smaller? I've heard they feel very heavy? Is it as comfortable as a sub? does it sit up higher than a subC? Comparison pictures of Milgauss and subc would be really helpful as i have subc, thanks.

It does feel bigger and heavier than a sub. It also wears much higher. My wife loves it and wears it daily.

I had a white Milgauss and the new SD4K. I think they wear very similar and sit a little higher on the wrist than a SubC does. All in all, it is a very comfortable wearing watch. My wrists are 6.75", FWIW.

I have a Milgauss and a SubC and I find they feel very similar on my 6.75" wrist. To me the Milgauss wears slightly larger and slightly more top heavy than the Sub.

No it isn't. The DSSD is the definition of top heavy. The Milgauss wears exactly the same as a 16600 SD on my 7.5 inch wrist.

It's heavier, taller and shinier, but oh so cool.

Feels gooooood!!

Big dial, big crown but not big on the wrist to me.

And it's safe to wear it in the rain.

It just slightly is narrower than DJ II but sits very comfortably, you can easily wear it on your daily basis

It can be top heavy --- but if sized properly it is quite comfortable - and has good weight to it.

I think that depends on what you used to wear.. If you come from a SD4K let's say will feel just right, if you used to wear a 36mm DJ then you will feel a bit overwhelmed.. Just go and try it out in an AD

I absolutely love my Milgauss. It feels great on the wrist. It's a heavier watch compared to some other SS Models but i love wearing it! I'd recommend it.
