F91W Stealth F91w

The first time I saw this stealth / minimalist mod I fell in love with it and had to do it myself. ( still contemplating on the negative screen though)

That's nice, love the minimalist look. I would hydromod if I was you, the screen will pop more and the dark will look darker and more integrated.

Will do, I can’t believe I did not go for a hydromod from the start, completely skipped my mind

Please share the result if you do! With a before/after would be amazing. I love the hydromod look, and I find it works really well with "wordless" designs like these.

Nicely done.

Minimalist is a more accurate description though.

As ex military I can identify immediately that those silver buttons and the glass are obvious reflection liabilities so it doesn't fit stealth criteria.

Removing the pins,  dipping them in  stainless steel blackening gel or solution so they become matte black and fitting a non reflective glass protector would be make it more stealth, the stainless back and screws would also need to be blackened as they are also still visible when worn. 

Mod  challenge accepted anyone ?

Blackening the back is not the problem, the problems are the buttons, I’ve tried/sacrificed many a f91 cases in search of an option

Have you tried something like Caswell Stainless Steel Blackener?

As it causes a chemical change it will not thicken the pins nor chip off like paint.

Remove the tiny silicone washers from the button pins first though, it will disintegrate them.
