I dropped my Sub off on a Rubber B. For 2 K, they installed a new one at the Service Center in Dallas. I had purchased it that way. Just takes $$$$$. Put it on my BLNR.

Looks sharp with the fully brushed braclet! Perhaps more sporty looking. Maybe that's how it should be in the first place (?). Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Can that be reversed? Just curious, I have a Batman as well and like the brushed look...but just in case.

Did the same with my LN. Ordered the sub bracelet for it the day I bought the watch a few years ago.
Like the PCL’s on my DJ2 but not on the GMT, they had to go, plus you get the glidelock.
Why oh why Rolex don’t just sell the GMT with a brushed bracelet from the factory is beyond comprehension. If anything, it might enhance sales, not hit them.

That looks amazing. Wish the BLNR came like this. Never been a fan of the PCL. Makes it took too shiny and takes more away from the tool aesthetic

I did the same to my BLNR and absolutely love the glidelock. I just purchased one for my 16610LV. They don’t come cheap and take a little searching but they can be sourced.

Great pictures. My SubC bracelet is waiting at AD and I will pick up in 2 weeks and I will swap out the PCL bracelet for the brushed one. Any issues in putting on the SubC bracelet?

Looks great and would consider this move if the BLNR was in a 1 watch rotation.

This is exactly what I would want to do - I just need to be lucky enough to actually get hold of the watch from my AD and find the brushed bracelet for sale....
Not asking for too much then.....!!

I wonder if upon servicing, Rolex would replace the non standard bracelet

Oh I’d put the original bracelet back on for sure if it needed to go in. I agree I don’t think they would like the mod not being born this way etc.

Glad you like it, seems to have had a positive response and I’m pleased with how it looks.

Plus I can always pop the pcl oyster bracelet back on in future, just nice to see it with the brushed sub bracelet on, seems to suit it anyway.
