Think I've found the perfect 4th timepiece to add to the collection
I have a YM and 2 x Tudor Black Bay watches. This year's been a milestone...
- first Rolex ever owned - first time I've owned more than 1 watch Surprisingly (to me at least), it has been very easy to rotate 3. Now thinking of adding a 4th, and for a complete radical change from the Sub look, I am considering the Milgauss in the customised black out, with green. What's the view of these blacked out customised pieces!? Link below to what I have in mind http://www.blackoutconcept.com/img/w...OUT-BOC-01.jpg |

Not much love around here for those mods, but if it sings to you go for it.

To test your resolve of if you really want to do this I saw Kris Kardashian, the ghastly mother, wearing a blacked out Milgauss so up to you.

Not the biggest fan of that particular look, but the Milgauss is a great watch. My friend just purchased the blue dial and his watch is stunning. Stands out in the best way possible!

Maybe pick up a non GV black Milgauss. I believe that they discontinued that one but they can be had around at decent prices. Not a fan of the PVD coating on anything for fear of it not holding up.

Not for me, but if you like it, fine. Have you seen the new Milgauss with the blue dial and green crystal? Looks sharp to me!

The view of green edge of the crystal makes it... But shiny black on that pristine steel case? Oof.

Not a big fan of the blackout mod, but thumbs up to the Milgauss.
Love mine. |

The OP didn't start this thread to get a bunch of "if you like it, buy it" responses. He's asking for our personal opinions.
My opinion: it's horrific. |

I actually like it. But as others have said, this forum is literally the last place on earth where support for these sort of mods can be found.

Not for me, although as those PVD mods go, it's one of the better ones if you ask me. It's a little more well done than some of the others I've seen from the likes of Bamford.
Get what you like and be happy. Life is much to short to do anything else.
