Think it looks better on the brushed, too. Oddly enough, this looks a little better to me every time I check in on this thread.

It looks OK but a quarter tone? Either you stand for gold or you don't I say.

Really like this! Would be the first TT I would actually consider wearing.

I like it in spirit but to my eyes, the yg component looks like trim now and not complementary. Imho, the blue sunburst dial begs for a steel or wg bracelet and this does its best to approximate that but the hints of yg look out of place.

Although I am strongly against modding, I must admit that in this particular case the modded watch looks better than the original.

The gold bezel and crown seem out of place to me

Here are some live shots. I put the brushed bracelet from my Hulk on to the Bluesy. Definitely tones down the watch and more under the radar. But the watch does seem more complete with the TT bracelet. By the way, mine is the flat blue Smurf dial.

Would love to see a live pic. I think you have to go with the sub (brushed) or the two tone. For some reason, the PCL links of the GMT bracelet looks a little off to me...maybe too many different things going on with the gold, blue, PCL SS, brushed SS...

Like the brushed bracelet. It's as close to a SS ceramic Smurf as you'll get. 👍🏼

I agree with the comments on the gold crown looking out of place. Other than that, I am surprised at how much I love it.

Great mod with the brushed bracelet. I never really like the tt but with the brushed bracelet I would actually consider one.

I wouldn't consider an easily-reversible bracelet swap to be a modification.

Plus it's ridiculously good-looking. Great way to keep the original bracelet fresh, too. I like. :)
