This has been on the wrist for about 6 weeks now. Of course, time keeping performance is amazingly good and it's a very comfortable watch for me. The only thing that I couldn't really get to grips with was the polished centre links, so I buffed those out

much more of a casual look I think. (well, kinda brushed them out, then buffed the whole thing up a bit).

Really liking all the colours of this watch though, I've tried and tried to capture it's personality in photos, but it just doesn't work!! It changes all the time too. If you've not seen one in the 904L, then do, it's an absolutely great piece.

I think I'll be keeping mine for a long time (especially as I've trashed the bracelet :wale:)

some pics...

Very nice! The pics reaffirm my decision to acquire when funds are available.

Urosfan · 12 October 2014, 10:13 AM

Very nice

sleddog · 12 October 2014, 10:15 AM

Such a gorgeous blue dial under that green crystal!!

My only wish is that they had kept the different color lume on the 3/6/9 markers like the black dial GV before it...

tkerrmd · 12 October 2014, 10:18 AM

Nice watch congrats!

I liked the PCLs!

jack81 · 12 October 2014, 10:18 AM

Very amazing pics especially that last pic

Psmith · 12 October 2014, 10:52 AM

Very nice - I was eyeballing this model a few days ago

StevePirates · 12 October 2014, 10:53 AM

I think the milgauss is such a slick watch. It's a great mix of quirky and classic.

Nice pics.

iazrollie · 12 October 2014, 11:18 AM

Gorgeous.

Nice pics. I tried this on a couple weeks back, and it is an amazing watch.

I'll admit though, I like it better with the PCLs.

ssultan · 12 October 2014, 12:14 PM

I like that watch. I think the PCLs looked good.

sturgeon123456 · 12 October 2014, 12:15 PM

Superb! I am not a PCL guy so good call on that one!

luvsub · 12 October 2014, 12:19 PM

Yes, that's why i flipped mine. Well that and the YachtMaster II RoseGold TT blew my socks off and I had to get and one of my 4 had to go.

steve.r · 12 October 2014, 12:28 PM

I tried the Milgauss before I settled on my Explorer II. I think its a beautiful watch.

But after 6 weeks, I can't help but see all the wear/scratches on the bezel already (pics 1 & 2) what are you doing to damage is so fast. I would be gutted if mine was like that after such a short time. Did no one else notice that?

I hope that's not him trying to brush the bezel. I do see that now...

Speed · 12 October 2014, 05:53 PM

Hmm. Having difficulty liking this more than the GV.

mattymay · 12 October 2014, 08:10 PM

The case does look scuffed to heck on the pics, but noooooo......not been crazy enough to try and mod the case, love it as it is! But, I guess Cape Cod might be needed soon. By eye it actually looks fine, but lighting the watch for trying to capture the dial colours has brought out every swirl and it's mother.

(low light, long exposure and polished stainless is fluid-like smooth I discovered, but the dial dies a death)

I practised a restoration of PCL on another bracelet before doing this, just to check that it wasn't a one-way street and it's actually surprisingly easy

The AD told me that a Rolex service would restore the watch to new condition too, is this really the case? Never had one properly serviced before.

cop414 · 12 October 2014, 10:05 PM

Looks great, love the green tint on the crystal!

HL65 · 12 October 2014, 10:14 PM

AK797 · 12 October 2014, 10:24 PM

Nice lume shot.

And avoid shining a light so directly at the polished surfaces, they will always throw up scratches.

ap1 · 12 October 2014, 10:30 PM

Nice mod
