Is it ok to match a polished case w/brushed buckle?
Or it has to be both polished? Is there a purist kind of thing or No-Nos in PAMs with regards to the buckle and case combination? Or strap combination?
I know that in Rolex, some Purists will not tolerate a Pepsi in a formal attire; but a Coke, however, is acceptable for both formal and non formal attire. Interested to hear your views. Last edited by halim; 3 March 2012 at 08:41 PM.. Reason: Spelling |

I think it really depends on the strap. I have both polished and brushed that I use with my 88. Personally, I would think a polished buckle would look funny on a vintage ammo strap. By the same token, a brushed buckle would look funny on my shark skin strap. I say get what you like.
