Despite how much I loved the look of the PCLs, they were driving me crazy with the constant scratches and fingerprints. I was tired of being anal-retentive with my watch so I got it brushed. Aaaaaah...it turned out great and life is good. Looks a little sportier too.

chrisshank · 30 March 2011, 03:49 AM

Looks darn good

Dr. Robert · 30 March 2011, 03:50 AM

Looks great! I like it.
Bless you my brother.

mtrunner · 30 March 2011, 03:54 AM

The way the watch should be sold!

Frogman4me · 30 March 2011, 03:57 AM

And I ain't mad at cha, looks great!

threemonkeys · 30 March 2011, 03:57 AM

You kids are saying all the right things. I know some people think brushing is wrong, but it works for me. Besides, I can always reverse the look (which I know I won't do).

Grumpy Badger · 30 March 2011, 04:00 AM

Good look!

SS Oyster · 30 March 2011, 04:00 AM

I like it :)

I concur.

SaddleSC · 30 March 2011, 04:25 AM

That is the way it should have come from the factory. I love the way that looks. I probably would not have traded away my GMTIIC so quickly if the bracelet was brushed. Those PCLs drove me nuts!

colpol · 30 March 2011, 04:45 AM

Defo an improvement !!

Not a fan of PCL's either

garGARgar · 30 March 2011, 04:46 AM

How did you get them brushed?

RedwinGV · 30 March 2011, 04:49 AM

I'm glad you like it.

For me, the PCL add a subtle positive difference for the GMTII..

Puffy · 30 March 2011, 04:52 AM

looks a lot better!!!

lhanddds · 30 March 2011, 05:01 AM

I like it and will have to give that consideration with mine.

Chipmunk · 30 March 2011, 05:17 AM

Less blingy......I like it.

youngr · 30 March 2011, 05:19 AM

looks great

rolexertion · 30 March 2011, 05:22 AM

Looks fabulous, like it should have been done that way to start with.

That's one reason why I bought the Sub-c instead.

gregmoeck · 30 March 2011, 05:23 AM

looks better. PCL look great new but get all scratched to hell

Hey Gary - I took it to an authorized Rolex repair location as I didn't want to try it on my own.

rolexsweep · 30 March 2011, 06:46 AM

hmmmm i might try that for my gmtiic later down the track... have to admit it looks great.

johnny80s · 30 March 2011, 07:04 AM

That model looks better without the PCL's IMO.

chicagofan · 30 March 2011, 07:07 AM

crowncollection · 30 March 2011, 07:08 AM

Looks good - I'm considering it for my Daytona (what do you all think?) - How much approx' does it cost to get done? Also, would Rolex revert it back to PCL's when serviced?

want to be · 30 March 2011, 07:15 AM

Some love PCL's , some don't!

RROMERO · 30 March 2011, 07:17 AM

Thanks! I'm going to do the same, nice!

mrbill2mrbill2 · 30 March 2011, 07:25 AM

scarlet knight · 30 March 2011, 07:28 AM
