The black somewhat hides the ugliness. There was one posted before which was engraved all around, that was atrocious.

I could care less about the intricate work. Pick up a sheet of metal if you need to, I hate it when people do this to a Rolex.

It’s bad taste in the extreme. They even had to drop the ‘e’ in ‘xclusive series’ on the case back engraving.

Gives the Milgauss a bad name.

Chimps.
