GMF release Mad Milgauss "Who cares I’m already late"
- Thread starter steve_theonewatches
- Start date
Thanks for sharing!
Interesting - I have been looking at this watch for quite some time. However, this version is missing the sandblasted finish. Like this, it is just a random Milgauss case with a funky dial…
This is what it is supposed to look like:

But I have to admit that I really like the blue lume
This is my personal NH38 version of the same style:

The only way you could make this before hand was with a custom dial and custom hands which would have run you $300 minimum. On top of the GMF Milgauss base is another $450. So total $750 for a custom one. And then you also would have to sandblast it which is $150.
Now you can buy this GMF as a base and just get it sand blasted for like $150 total. And less hassle.
Happy to see it.

From what I know, easy if you have the correct machine. There's also things to consider such as the strength/PSI, sand used (bead size for sand machine actually impacts finish, etc)
There are also really really cheap methods if you look around.

I always like to do something myself, if at all possible. This is why I love modding my Seikos. Shout out YouTube! So I had bought this bracelet on Amazon. It's actually a great, quality feeling brace...

But I think this kind of work is best left to professionals. In my eyes there could be many things that go wrong with DIY sandblasting haha.

Im not sold on it if I'm honest, I like the Milgaus and the polished verison I think looks a bit better, the matt finihs kinda looks a bit cheap, like a poor Amazon copy (I'm on about the gen here). I kinda like the gooky idea around the dial but I fear it would be shortlived in reality. I guess its less important these days to be able to read the time as most people carry their phones or wear a smart watch on the other wristThanks for sharing!

Id like a custom version with Pate instead of Late on the dial now! And will forever only see Pate on it! It would be cool if RO offered some more crazy dials as and add on service so they could be swapped out from time to time!
Any idea if the crystal has AR coating? Thanks!
I might have to buy one just to poach the crystal (if it has AR coating) for a franken 114300 build.

This sand throwing technique looks like so much fun!From what I know, easy if you have the correct machine. There's also things to consider such as the strength/PSI, sand used (bead size for sand machine actually impacts finish, etc)
