Problem with PCLs

I had to snap this pic of my BLNR while stopped at a light. The sun glaring off the pcl is blinding.

It can put off quite a glare. I like the PCLs though. Gives the watch a little flare. Pieces of flare are important. Haven't you guys seen Office Space?

Flare maybe for some, but when I'm heading up a daily morning meeting I have dozens of eyes on me and can literally feel them. Looking down at my monochrome SubC during this gives comfort as there is very little to scrutinize as does not have that flash of pizazz or disco which was referred to on a recent thread. To each his own.

Problem with PCLs

Problem with pcl is that the center links are polished

Were did you get that strap? It's the best one I've seen to match the BLNR.

I agree am planning to ask my AD to put my sub c bracelet on my BLNR and getting the tool to do it myself after, looks cooler with brushed links
