Here is one I posted yesterday in a "show us your favorite pen and rolex combo" thread. I have others in Photobucket, but its hanging up on me at the moment (that site sucks anymore ).

I wear it on the brushed, but also have the original PCL bracelet as well.

So is that a brushed easylink or a glidelock?

Easy link. It's an OEM bracelet for the 116710LN from years ago. When I got it, I had also purchased a second bracelet to brush, so that I had both.

Where do you get them brushed? How durable is it? I have a brushed wedding bad that shows scratches more than PCL

Good to see after a year and a half, a brushed bracelet was how you were brought out of the shadows for your first post!

Mine was done by an independent with a Rolex parts account, who did work for the AD I frequented. My contact there has since moved on, as have I.

As for durability, that pic I posted earlier was yesterday...and it was brushed back in 2006 (I think...whenever the 116710LN was first released). While not worn every day, it's definitely seen plenty of wrist time over the years

I like the look of brushed but I don't dislike PCL's enough to do the mod.

Another bracelet makes more sense to me.

Brushing the PCLs was the first thing I did after buying the watch, and I don't regret it.

Send it to LA WatchWorks. Not the Bay Area but they are superb. Would have to enquire with them on price.
