I had my modern Milgauss brushed to resemble a 1019. I’m enjoying it so far. I know it won’t be for some but it is for me. Enjoy. Or not.

Love the Milgauss. I think the brushed center links look great!

Love it….Polished Center links are not my thing….the brushed lugs are what make it. You have made a very handsome watch!

Looks good! Glad you didn’t polish the case flanks and the bezel. The leftover high polished areas actually alternate and contrast better with the new brushing

That's how Rolex should have done it, IMO.

As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters. Gutsy move, though.

Makes more sense to have brushed CL on this reference, IMO.

Wear it enough and it will become "brushed" organically

Looks ok but I would have bought a brushed bracelet before I did that to my GV”s polished one.

I actually like that pretty well. I hadn’t expected to like it, but I think it may be better that way.
