Brushed Milgauss
Bought a Milgauss and wasn't too keen on pcl's or the polished case/bezel. considering I bought it to wear at work I thought it would hide the wear and tear better. Thought I'd post pics in case anyone thought of doing this. Btw, I sent it to LA Watchworks in Pasadena. I also added a photo of the Milgauss where it belongs... 220kv yard ⚡️

Not so sure about the job at the clasp -> Rolex crown has a halo...

Not my taste, but very happy for you.
 Hoping there won't be a problem with Rolex when servicing. |

Brushed Milgauss
Thanks for the comments..this watch was meant to be a beater, will prob never be on the bracelet and should see many scratches while in high voltage (220kv, 69kv) switch racks, underground 12kv vaults and pole switches
 if subs were meant for diving....this Milgauss has found its purpose  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Surprised on how good that looks. Reminds me a bit of the newly announced Omega Railmaster

It looks good. My favorite is the brushed case including sides! Glad to see a Milgauss where it belongs.

I suggest you not send it to RSC for service. It won't come back brushed.

In my opinion, that is exactly what the Milgauss has been missing. You're a genius in my book.
