Thoughts on the ref. 116400 - Milgauss

As probably some of you knows, I'm not a lover of modern Rolex.

Basically for the shape of the case, for the SLuminova dial...

I'm not even a huge fan of the polished band.

BUT…

...in this days I'm thinking hard about the only "in production" Rolex that fascinates me.

Since I am a great lover of the ref.1019, and this week Nicolas and Patrice have contributed to my moral annihilation (LOL) showing several times this watch…(purchase that at the moment i can't afford) I'm thinking of buying a 116400, the new Milgauss.

Rolex marketing victim, yes i am

I appreciate the caliber 3131, the only one of its kind for Rolex.

I really like the black version, no GV, very simple, sporty but also stylish.

Technically interesting, excellent for my work.

What does not convince me 100% is probably the thickness and (maybe) the too generous case.

It's not my concern that is can be charming on a shirt (afterall i'm a sea-dweller dude) but I'm afraid it's a bit clumsy; I would have preferred a slightly more low case and a 38mm diameter…yes a 1019, of course

Now it's up to you guys…what do you think?

Any suggestions?

Pics and personal experiences are very much appreciated.

Thank you very much gents.

chris te salutant.
