What does that M on the dial mean? Military issue?

ha ha, yes, definately looks like a DIY... a bit of overspray, especially on the bezel on the "12"...

this is a weird post. The black looks very good but those bezel numbers look like crap. I know that Italy has a lot of modded watches but this one is different.

I think it looks very interesting and different. Even if I didn't like it I wouldn't disparage you for having it.
I wonder what that "M" on the dial means?

Interesting look. Would love to see it on a black(or black and red) NATO with a wrist shot to see what it would look like.

I think it looks pretty cool. Gives it a vintage feel with the "non-perfect" bezel. Looks aged.
Don't let them hold you back Matteo. Do what you like with your Rollie!

Tempo, when you get those made let me know...

I love the fact that you modify, I love the color combination, I hate the fact that it looks like you did it with a sharpie.
I have had many automobile parts, powdercoated, anodized, painted ect. If a $800 intake manifold came back looking like that...I would hand it back and tell them to do it over. PAtrick

Interesting treatment.
I wouldn't mind it if someone would state the durability of PVD. I have seen all kinds of treatments, including anodized surfaces, not hold up too well. Maybe PVD is tougher. . . ? |

It's definitely a different look but not for me though.
