Hello All,
I just finished my end-links design for the Milgauss

I know, this may be not everyone's cup of tea, but I really like the Milgauss on leather strap

Comments, critique are welcome…

Thanks!
Eugene

It works well Eugene!!!

toph · 28 November 2011, 02:59 PM

Although not my preference i think it look rather good! well done

the_e_ones · 28 November 2011, 03:01 PM

Classical look!

roach7 · 28 November 2011, 03:03 PM

i like it!

FremStar · 28 November 2011, 03:03 PM

I actually like it.... A LOT!!! Wow! Is that a deployment buckle strap?

Time2time · 28 November 2011, 03:07 PM

Not my cup of tea at all Eugene to be fair. Just doesn't look right.

However, looks like a good job and no doubt may look good on some models.

No, looks more like a deployant.

Nothing in the pictures reveals a deployant clasp.

I know, I was hoping Eugene would let us know if it was, looking back at the second picture I see that it's not

still looks sharp nonetheless

Not unless you have the X-Ray vision.

To the OP: I think it is a very nice look myself. Well done.

BNA/LION · 28 November 2011, 03:04 PM

Nice Work.

psv · 28 November 2011, 03:08 PM

It looks very fresh and crisp to me. Well done!

"fresh and crisp" -- I like the way you described it!

this is exactly what I was after when I use the blue leather strap.

i just want the colors to play and refresh the look...

Thanks!

It is a done deal then, Eugene! You design and manufacture and I'll market and sell! :-)

Cheers mate!

DCgator · 29 November 2011, 06:00 AM

Excellent! Well done Eugene. Gives the Milgauss an entirely different and unique look.

ASW1 · 28 November 2011, 04:04 PM

An interesting look. Would be really useful to see how it looks without the end links.
Personally I find the endlinks design (the Rolex design, not your great reproductions of it) somewhat odd, and think a simple strap between standard lugs is more 'normal' looking.

I agree. It's incongruous.

Rolex end-links are patterned after a bracelet's links (hence the name). So we've got what appears to be the beginning of an Oyster bracelet, but then it turns into a strap.

FeelingTheBlues · 28 November 2011, 04:09 PM

Looks great to me, I'd like to see it on a GV as well!

I just ordered a set for my GV. Thinking about a black alligator strap with a a subtle green stitching. I'll post pics when its done.

masterkiller · 28 November 2011, 04:48 PM

Really nice, orange and blue is the ultimate combo!

globalmedia33 · 28 November 2011, 04:50 PM

Looks good.

Kokyuryoku · 28 November 2011, 04:54 PM

I like the look. Good work Eugene

I think I need to get a blue strap

Lol-x · 28 November 2011, 05:37 PM

Its a great alternative look. My primary look is the factory bracelet, but this leather strap/endlink setup is a

sweet alternative for a change of pace.

Jonathan007 · 28 November 2011, 05:41 PM

Yeah feel kind of safer in a way with the bracelet but its funky enough also!!

Good work!

Watchonisto · 28 November 2011, 05:49 PM

Definitely Rolex should do this move, nice work Eugene

DolphinV8 · 28 November 2011, 05:55 PM

Looks pretty good.
