I like the GV with the clear crystal

Cheers

esm · 20 January 2010, 01:37 AM

interesting combo Steve. kinda like it too.
it has a funy looking to it also. for some reason the green tint does not stand out as much with the white dial.

it is quite a stunner imo.

would love to see both dial GVs together

zak98 · 20 January 2010, 01:39 AM

i like it! thanks for sharing!

As I commented earlier, the white dial with the GV is a stunner. IMHO, the other combination (Black GV dial with clear crystal) just doesn't move me (maybe I was too excited to see the result

). I agree with directioneng's earlier post . . . The green crystal makes it special.

Thanks for the post Steve!

Renoir · 20 January 2010, 01:57 AM

Looks cool!!

Joe750 · 20 January 2010, 02:53 AM

I have always though that the combinations Rolex didn't do would be the best - Black face with GV, GV face with clear sapphire. I'd love to see those!

So, do you have to buy 2 watches and swap parts, or will Rolex (or a dealer) sell you a GV or different face? Just curious, I love to customize with genuine parts (in theory!)

The GV face with clear crystal is in post #59.
Yes, you will most likely have to buy two watches to do this, as the parts are not readily available from Rolex.

layne · 20 January 2010, 10:43 AM

Very nice indeed. I like how it tones down the white a little.

spellman21 · 20 January 2010, 10:45 AM

Very unique piece, i like it!

Thanks, sometimes the pictures don't come up at work, but I see it now at home. I think I have a new favorite watch. I'm on the fence about the green crystal, but I do like the numbers on the outer edge. This is the perfect combo, thanks for sharing!

Lol-x · 20 January 2010, 02:35 PM

I'm frightened if I take my White GV to Rolex they will keep it, because it is a frankenized watch and strikes at the heart of their ethics.

Naples09 · 20 January 2010, 02:40 PM

Great pics Steve. I love the white GV.

Might be something to think about for the next giveaway!

Ultraman · 20 January 2010, 09:08 PM

Looks great, I like it!

LouS · 21 January 2010, 11:43 AM

The white with the GV is the winner in the crystal exchange. Good idea.

TattooedGQ · 21 January 2010, 11:53 AM

That's definitely cool.....Don't know if I'd do it to my Milgauss since I like the blinding white dial, but if I had another I'd give it a go!

sphereman · 21 January 2010, 01:55 PM

WOW!! what a stunner.

this combination is the best I've seen in a while!! Kudos to you LolX !!

I see the prices of white milgauss skyrocketting soon.. LOL

SLS · 21 January 2010, 03:44 PM

Wow Steve, that looks sweet! I would love to see the white dial with the 369 in a different lume!

C. Davidson · 21 January 2010, 04:17 PM

I really like the GV Whitey, got a funky retro vibe to it.

MrPenguin · 21 January 2010, 04:24 PM

Nice!!! I love the GV and want that to be my next watch. Hopefully it is no longer impossible to find when i'm ready to get mine in the next year or so :-/

keschete · 21 January 2010, 05:52 PM

Gorgeous!

Nicko · 21 January 2010, 06:14 PM

Steveo, that is a beautiful watch...! I'm normally not a fan of the Milgauss but that is a thing of beauty.

with a green crystal. Are they available from Rolex? How did the owner with the white Milgauss obtain the green crystal?

2th Dr · 13 March 2010, 02:35 AM

Stevo, I really like it!!! Much better than with the black dial IMHO!

Chronodude · 13 March 2010, 02:46 AM

I like the green with the orange markers!

Leave it stock! It looks best that way!

TheBluePrince · 13 March 2010, 04:21 AM

I like that a lot.

mcavana · 24 March 2013, 11:46 PM
