Milgauss Crystal Mod

[Roivster 0]

Hi everybody.

 

Received my blue Milgauss from Josh last week.

Great watch, but that terrible green AR coating just drove me crazy. I just had to doe something about it, popped the crystal and polish it with scratch remover and a Dremel for 80 minutes…

Got all the AR off and the crystal became nice an clear, coated the edge with Vitrea 160 Emerald brilliant glossy and baked it in the oven. Then I put on a finishing clear coat on top.

And the result is amazing, shiny green edge and one can see the blue dial clearly, no more reflecting green AR.

Hope you enjoy these photos.

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

Where did you get your rep from? And how do I go about modding the edges? I have no watch experience...

Hi newbie

 

This is from perfect clones.

I'm also new to this hobby, you have to do some regarding on RWG and RWI. See some YouTube videos on how to remove Basel. You will need a watch press to be able to get the Basel back on correct. This you can get on ebay.

buy a Milgauss with out the green AR coating, this will be the Black dail version,

Will save you a lot of work, not have to remove the AR.

 

If not get back to me after easter, mabye i will sell this and try a new project..

 

Good luck.

I get many requests if i can do this mod job for others, it's nice to hear that people like what i did to my Milgauss.

Sorry, but it takes too much time to get the job done and the cost for the job and shipping is not worth itt!

Have a nice day everybody.

Although this topic is old, just wanted to say the Milgauss is my second fav behind the DJ! Good choice. It'll probably be my second pickup

This is a fabulous thread, great to share the details.

Thank you vaquerito

That is one beautiful milgauss. That's the only issue that's keeping me from purchasing one. Wish I had the press and knowledge of doing this mod myswlf! :/

Just bought this watch from M2M, can't wait to receive it! Gonna wait to see how it looks in real life as the green on the pics look a little dull (as you would expect). May definitely have to try this mod - thanks for the tip

Hey guys how is the paint state after 1 year? Aren't you afraid it can flack away?

Cheers, GenTLe

Still good my man. I actually sold this a few months ago. The buyer was crazy happy with it. And i now regret selling it

[GenTLe 1,509]

Thanks!

I may give it a try in the next future

There is a thing I don't get about this mod... The gen crystal is green, and the rep has a green tint due to the AR.

Removing the AR, unless you spray paint also the inside of the crystal with some very transparent green glass pain, makes it less gen-like. So why this mod?

Nice mod, what is the brand name of the orange strap? I've seen a lot of them lately.

I have the same question

I am planning to do this mod next week. What looks more gen, with or without the AR?

The gen has a green crystal so has green tinted sides but no AR the rep makers for some reason put the green tint on the top of the crystal which is wrong to the gen but actually looks really good...
