If it were my only watch yes. The sub is a much better option for a daily wearer IMO. Otherwise no. I think the Milgauss is a great watch to own as part of a collection.

Keep the 116400, 14060's can be picked up at any time. IMO the Milgauss is here today and gone tomorrow. Try to find a 6541 for sale! I have with no luck! The last 1019 that I found for sale from a reputable seller fetched 35k! I don’t know of many SS Sub’s bring that price.

I like the white Milgauss.

Not seen that often and the newer bracelet & clasp is top notch.

I'd try to have the two, if possible.

If (and a big if, that is) Rolex discontinues either or both in the next couple of years then the prices will go the way of the LV.

The 14060m COSC and Milgauss White exist in relatively (for Rolex) small numbers and are both currently available for just under £3k.

I've got 'em both and can't see me losing either.

That said, the 14060M is a great watch too. I would try to have both.
