Brushed case and bezel as well. Looks good.

Looks like it sold already. It appears to be a nice brush job on it. I think they should have left the polished bezel for some contrast imo.

Looks very nice! He did a good job! Just out of curiosity, how come your GMT doesn't have a cyclops?

I've been tempted and resisted, but I like all the pics I see of those who have done it.

I was about to ask the same cyclops question, but read it had been asked above.

I agree, as well as the case flanks. The top of the lugs definitely should have been brushed but I like the contrast of polished accents.

Had that been previously polished Clive?

No. The watch was about a year old when I had it done.

That looks cool on the GMT, wouldn’t on a Millie though.

I have tried my Milgauss on leather. Just another option to consider...

Thanks for the help. Photos of your milgauss would be awesome

Can’t you just put your Sub bracelet on it? I think they both have 20mm lug width.

I am not sure if that will work. I have not tried it, but the case width is different and the holes in the lugs may not align with the sub bracelet. I know I could not get the RubberB GMT IIc rubber strap fit the Milgauss.

I do have a SubC bracelet, something I can try one of these days.
