ML18 Finishing Project
Just wanted to share a quick project I finished up with the new Militado ML18.
When it showed up, the finishing was decent, especially for the price point, but I knew there was more potential there. It just needed that extra something to make it really eye-popping. I’m a big believer that even a budget piece can look high-end if you put a little work into the details.
I ended up taking some polishing tools to the case and the bracelet. I’m fully aware that some of you are die-hard fans of the original satin or matte look that Militado is known for, but that’s just not the vibe I was going for this time. I wanted something that caught the light a bit more and felt a little more refined for a daily wearer.
Honestly, I couldn't be happier with the results. The way it looks in the light now is exactly what I was aiming for. It gives the whole watch a much more "premium" feel without losing that classic pilot watch DNA.
I know it’s not for everyone, but it’s definitely my style. Let me know what you guys think of the new look!
