I have worked on this watch a few times now, and what we have is the famous milgaus with lightning bolt second hand , what i did to it is aged the dial (markers and dulled the finish a bit) , installed a highly domed edged tropic 16 genuine crystal, installed the almost famous michael young thicker bezel and bezel insert, i refinished the case and drilled lug holes to fit thicker pins and installed a rivet oyster on it to top it off, hope u like it , it was hard to take pics because of the glare off the domed crystal , it is really rounded around the edges sort of like a superdome tropic 39 , hopefull when the owner gets it on monday he can take us some more deserving pictures of it

oh yeah i painted the second hand tip as well
