No idea why someone would want to cover the WG/YG with black paint on the Sky Dweller...

It's also ironic that if those pics were posted in the Watchout section, most likely people would say they are fakes...which begs the question...why do it with a genuine watch...

Not sure if serious...

Once I saw a Milgauss GV mod that I liked in matte black, but even that was pushing it.

I quite like most of them, would never even consider buying any of them though. They've taken prestige pieces and made them fashion items which puts a shelf life on them. I suppose they're designed as a show of wealth.
