Rolex Milgauss

Does anyone think that the Milgauss is going to get a date function?

milgauss

I heard an explanation once that the reason it dosent have one is because the magnetic fields would be able to get throug the open date aperture. so the miminal amount oh holes in the dial the better.

True as I was reading this in watch time. Date funtion will not be happening for this watch.

Don't think so. It would create another opening that would decrease the antomagnetic effect.

I don't see the point of giving it a date, it'd effectively be a heavy Datejust II. It's got a nice niche in the line up at the moment.

I think this is the issue and the reason why the Milgauss will NOT have a date.

Nope it won't. They say it would compromise its anti magnetic properties.
