I think Rolex has done a nice job for the most part, of putting/matching PCL’s on the references they compliment most. I haven’t wanted to modify any of my bracelets either way.

Yes I agree. Think it would be a nice look.

I personally love the PCLs on my Bluesy, albeit they do scratch extremely quickly.

PCL’s look exceptionally great when the watch is new.

I remember seeing a picture of someone who swapped bracelets from their BLNR and Hulk. I thought the PCLs on the LV looked fantastic

I am a PCL fan. I went both ways and missed the "pop" of pcl in my Rolex watches.

I don’t like PCL, however the irony is that the watches I love and own, all have PCL - z-blue, GMTs and soon to be DJ41 oyster bracelet.

No wonder, I keep trying different straps and jubilee bracelets.

I am not a fan of PCLs at all. The brushed look is just way cooler.

Hahahaha. This is what I am going to eventually do when the Pepsi (I also can't stand the jubilee) arrives. It's going on strap right out of the box.

Same here. I don't like PCLs but I don't have a choice. Smurf, BLNR and SS Daytona all have PCLs.

I don't. Wish all my PCL and polished clasp owned models were not polished. Since I don’t modify my watches other than changing bezel inserts on 16710s , all stay as arrived from Rolex.

I dislike PCL's as they're just a scratch magnet. I wish my 116710's didn't have PCL's...

I personally do not care for plc's. I can appreciate the look when new, but they are scratch magnets and soon are no longer polished. I also shy away from anything too blingy, which is why I'm not fond of the jubilee bracelet. I have a BLNR and had my plc's brushed out and never looked back.

If you want to make a watch look more dressy and less sporty, then polished center links is the way to go. It's a nice and easy trick to create a sense of elegance.

Prefer brushed but will have no issues with PCL look or scratches. One thing I absolutely hate is polished lugs. That would give me OCD.

Does Anyone Prefer Polished Center Links (PCLs)

Personally I'm not a fan of PCLs. For a dressy band I'd rather have a jubilee or put it on leather.
