White Faced Milgauss with Green Crystal?

I am not a big fan of modifying watches but in some instances they can look really good. I know several of you have modified your SS Daytonas with racing dials and different color hands. Also, the "Shark" submariner is really cool as well. Has anyone ever seen a White Dial Milgauss modified with Green Crystal? The Milgauss GV is an amazing watch but I am always left wondering what it would look like with the White Dial which I believe is truly underrated.

Nice alternative, but nothing beats the original.

No Fair!!!! You're biased LOL! I do not own a Milgauss but think both look great. I had never seen a white with green crystal configuration. I bet it was not a cheap project

That is awesome, though would get expensive for me due wanting a white face green sapphire and keep an original black face green sapphire!

You can buy the crystal or have a watchmaker with a rolex account to get it for you an put it on the Milgauss.

I like it. I do think the green changes the color of the second hand a bit.

I always thought that I wanted this combo until I saw it. I don't like how it adds tint to the white dial. The white Milgauss is awesome as is, except I would prefer brushed center links.
