NCRich 13,747 Posted November 29, 2016 This was an interesting chic geek watch to me. Initially developed by Rolex to deal with the electromagnetic waves generated in modern work environments. This is a gen. This is how it arrived from the rep factory via my friend M at Marvelous Replica. It is very bright and shiny and the case is sharp. Lug holes the wrong size, and the lume is crooked and doesn't fill the circles. It also has a spaceship looking superdome plexi that isn't right at all for this model. So I reshaped the case adding slight chamfers and smoothing the sharp edges. Drilled out the lugs, chamfered the edges of the holes and repolished the case. New plexi using a Tropic 21. Aged the dial and relumed using a vintage color. Aged the hands slightly and used a torch to brass the bezel. I think it looks pretty neat on this bomber jacket strap. I've got to mod the rivet bracelet to finish but here are some shots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAJ75 922 Posted November 29, 2016 Excellent result. I do like the style of this early Milgauss, the work you have done adds the character & charm needed. Really like the cracked leather strap too very complimentary.............. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
