Tough to appreciate the fine craftsmanship when it clashes so harshly with the style of the watch, IMHO.

Minutehand · 5 March 2011, 01:05 AM

Woaa!! What's wrong with me - I like it!

However, I think it would be better suited on a Datejust - perhaps with the tuxedo dial?

Dan Pierce · 5 March 2011, 01:17 AM

I kinda like it.

Not sure I would ever do it but it's done very well.

I think its class!! Really different

cgjane · 5 March 2011, 01:22 AM

You see this kind of engraving in some High End Guns, guns that stay in a display case never to be fired.This looks to be one of those watches that will be in a display case, never to be worn.

tkc324 · 5 March 2011, 01:36 AM

I appreciate the effort, but do not love the style. Oh well, to each their own.

ErikXIV · 5 March 2011, 01:43 AM

I like it! Looks like a Purdy shotgun. However to balance the whole thing I think engraving the watch case isent enough - go for the bracelet too!!!

I like it! Would look even better on a well used leather strap! I wouldn't mind wearing such a watch from time to time.

RFXMM · 5 March 2011, 02:41 AM

I don't think anyone in that forum cares what we think. They have to find something to engrave to get attention. I would wear it if he themed it with lightening bolts or maybe skulls.

Makes a change from jewel encrustedness.

AK40DJ50 · 5 March 2011, 03:41 AM

Nice detail but don't think it is a modification that enhances the look of the Milgauss.

pz93c · 5 March 2011, 04:50 AM

I like it.

I may have left the bezel plain and wear it on a strap, but it is a good look and fantastic work.

garGARgar · 5 March 2011, 05:12 AM

I like it...a lot! I'd even wear it, just wouldn't want to pay for it though.

onryo · 5 March 2011, 06:50 AM

Right workmanship, wrong industry and time period.

cedargrove · 5 March 2011, 07:51 AM

It's pretty cool, but not for me.

Yeahnah · 5 March 2011, 07:55 AM

Oh Dear !

kareemthedream33 · 5 March 2011, 07:56 AM

If someone gave me that I would wear it (not every day though). That's a 1 of 1 piece with impeccable craftsmanship.

liptonnr · 5 March 2011, 08:00 AM

Thanks for sharing but not for me!

bewithabob · 5 March 2011, 12:37 PM

awesome!

Kanger · 5 March 2011, 12:41 PM

Christ that looks good!

FremStar · 5 March 2011, 12:48 PM

Simply beautiful! I would wear that daily!!! I am a GV type of guy but this would be more of a reason to go non-gv!

theloxmyth · 5 March 2011, 12:57 PM

Highly skilled, but wrong "canvas."

Impressive work. Not my taste, but a unique to distinguish a piece you see on many wrists.
