I know most of you guys are going to choke on your cornflakes when you see this, but I like it.

Now a GV - that would be freakishly cool.

Mr Sandman · 18 July 2008, 12:34 AM

Yeh looks cool....I think the normal black face would look even better.

This one for me, is far better looking then the S/S versions.
Very nice

Thani · 18 July 2008, 12:42 AM

i like it..

BigHat · 18 July 2008, 12:49 AM

Beats the leopard Daytona.

Steven79 · 18 July 2008, 01:00 AM

yeah, it beats the leopard in my book but thats pretty much it.

i like the original with nato strap though!

cbsmohai · 18 July 2008, 01:06 AM

Wow, I just fell in love with the Milgauss.

YEAH.....no kidding!!! Now I want one!!!

cmcm3 · 18 July 2008, 01:10 AM

Foooooooook!!!! That black-faced one is the balls!!! I want it.

I have never seen such a positive reaction to a PVD Rolex in these hallowed halls. Im sure the naysayers will follow shortly, but for now I am going to enjoy this black-coated moment.

Trurolexer · 18 July 2008, 01:21 AM

Just ONE word...NICE!!!

I like the white dial!!!

Of all the PVDized Rollies I've seen the black dial Milgauss is the only one that really "pops" in my book!

BigHat · 18 July 2008, 01:55 AM

Just hope the finish holds up.

Can you PVD a variety of materials? Panny folks used to complain about durability of PVD and others seem to find it "bullet-proof."

Jedi · 18 July 2008, 02:24 AM

It depends on the hardness of the PVD coating vs the hardness of the base-material. They should be about the same. In cases where the PVD is harder, then cracks become prevalent. If softer, well, this is rarely the case.

veefour · 18 July 2008, 02:28 AM

Veeeery nice!. The one with the band is a killer

mr_biased · 18 July 2008, 03:12 AM

How does one go about getting a PVD'd Milgauss? The black face is absolutely stunning. Looks better than Panny PVD IMO.

These guys are meant to be excellent... http://www.angelfire.com/blues/andcameysiww/mod.html

Tony-GB · 18 July 2008, 03:43 AM

Love the black face. Very stealth.

Should the PVD be shiny? I thought it was supposed to be matt?

Z-Sub · 18 July 2008, 09:43 AM

Can you get that off in the future?

Sure, with oven cleaner.

Murdered out Milguass rocks...

Jimbits76 · 18 July 2008, 03:17 AM

Sorry guys....J ain't a fan of PVD cases.

I likes me milgauss shiny!!!!!

carlyman · 18 July 2008, 03:22 AM

Concur with J...PVD not my style. I love the shininess of my new Millie!

veilstylez · 18 July 2008, 09:45 AM

wow I think it looks freakin nice

GMTJOHNNY · 18 July 2008, 12:16 PM

I like it for thechnology's sake, but the huge $$ drop in value over time YIKES!
Will RSC even service it?
It looks great and I wish Rolex would offer some in-house custom finish options. Like taking my Porsceh to RUF for a "factory approved modification".
Didn't Cartier at one point confiscate watches that had dials redone with diamonds by a jewler because they claimed copyright or trademark infringement?
Nonetheless, your Milgauss is really slick!

GMTJOHNNY · 18 July 2008, 12:29 PM

I forgot about the physics behind the soft iron Faraday Cage Rolex uses for the inner casing and it superior antimagnetic shielding.
College ended 20 years ago, mind is going.

Andad · 18 July 2008, 10:02 AM

IMO my GV is perfect just as it is.

I think changing it to black would be an expensive operation. Once you have managed to get one of these trust me when I say that you would not have it taken to bits just to do this to it.

scottschoe · 18 July 2008, 12:56 PM

Wow...I like it.

mokwai · 18 July 2008, 02:49 PM
