Wow! I can't decide whether I like PCLs or brushed better, but my oh my that looks factory! I'd be weary of modifying but to each their own. Enjoy and wear in good health!

Ok. It looks amazing. This is, IMHO, what Rolex should be putting out. Well done!

In fact I just might do that...

Thanks! I specifically requested the angled brush and knowing their body of work it was no problem

Did you request the lugs to be brushed in a radial style rather then inline? Rolex typically brush inline but like your style.

Dont mean this is a bad way as I do like the look but it's saved me from having mine done as I'm leaning towards preferring the PCL, but as I plan to add a black dial daytona I may do one and not the other.

I'm still waiting on my PCL glidelock to be sent back from the watchmaker and then that will be on my Daytona.

But like with my 114060 some like it some don't (not hate) but it's not thier watch so who cares as long as the owner likes it

I am selling my BLNR with a SubC bracelet. I am not touting for business but there are options open to you to sort the PCL dislike that I also had.

The radial brushing is what jumped out to me, first! This is the way Rolex used to brush and should again, IMO.

I don't know, I like it on the rounder cases but not sure would on the GMT or Sub.

No, it does not void the warranty. I asked Rolex (the RSC in NYC) this exact question when I wanted to brush the PCLs on the bracelet on my WG Sub. However, if you have the watch serviced under the warranty, Rolex will insist on polishing it back to factory specs. And you must include the bracelet when you take the watch for service, so there's no way around the policy.

That looks great. For me though, it's not the brushed PCLs that make the watch - it's the brushed lugs. It makes a huge difference, and I think it would look great even with the PCLs.

Even though I generally dislike PCL, I kind of like it on my White Ceramic Daytona, although it makes we want to get a black one and have this done.

As the case has been disassembled by someone other than an authorized RCS my understanding is the warranty has been voided. Brushing pcl's on the band is very different from the disassembly of case components.

I believe it falls under the part "if there is any intervention by a third party". But like the OP said, it's a small price to pay for getting the watch exactly like he wants it. In this case it's more than just brushing the PCL's. The movement was removed from the case. I still think the watch looks great.
