And couldn't be happier with the results. Opinions are divided on PCL's, but I'm much more of a fan of the brushed look. It cost just $50 from a professional, so well worth the money to me. It would certainly lower the resale value, but I don't plan on ever parting with this one.

Just thought I'd post a few pictures if anyone is considering doing the same thing.

I hear you can easily get it polished again so no real harm.

the_natural · 25 February 2018, 10:31 AM

That is the way to go!

dba · 25 February 2018, 10:42 AM

Looks fantastic, but $50? My AD did it for free. He also told me that when it comes back from an RSC, the links will be polished again as that is the standard for that watch.

I guess when it goes in for service, if you tell them to leave the bracelet alone, they'll respect that.

Mrcoach32 · 25 February 2018, 10:43 AM

Great choice! Looks incredible!

Yeah, all you have to do is send it to RSC for service, and it'll come back with PCLs, like 'em or not!

AEC · 25 February 2018, 10:45 AM

I think it looks fantastic!

tng11 · 25 February 2018, 10:46 AM

Looks great!

This is the way it should have come!

If I can't locate a 97200 bracelet, then I'm sending it off to be brushed.

Chadridv · 25 February 2018, 10:51 AM

Well done! Love it.

Not if you only send the head in.

De - Fre · 25 February 2018, 10:54 AM

Looks way better! Who is the pro? And what was the turnaround time?

You do not need to send the bracelet with your watch for Service. I sent my DD36 in for service and had my AD remove the head and send it separately. I also asked for a movement service only, so the case was untouched.

Love it !

Rolex.c6 · 25 February 2018, 10:59 AM

Yes I would do this too to any GMT model. I like it better like this!

Ichiran · 25 February 2018, 11:01 AM

Great job! I would not have sold my BLNR if I remove the PCL like you.

Jacobson · 25 February 2018, 11:02 AM

really does look like the way it was always meant to be

herts9 · 25 February 2018, 11:03 AM

The only way I would wear one. Very nice

Spoonage · 25 February 2018, 11:16 AM

Looks good. For the longest time I had my glidelock on my BLNR but recently put the PCL Easylink back on.

Mystro · 25 February 2018, 11:18 AM

You will have a lot less watch stress in your life now. Looks great.

gccmd · 25 February 2018, 11:21 AM

Looks great! Definitely something I'd consider doing to mine in the future if the PCL's started looking really scratched up.

soflonative · 25 February 2018, 11:37 AM

Wow!!...that really looks fantastic!!...they did a great job, band looks a lot better!

Tangier11 · 25 February 2018, 11:38 AM

Well I am in the minority here. I LOVE the PCLs

Raza_actual · 25 February 2018, 11:38 AM

Massive improvement.

Naples09 · 25 February 2018, 11:40 AM

Looks great. I also like the Daytona C with brushed bracelet. Someone on here did that at one point and it looked great.

watchwatcher · 25 February 2018, 11:41 AM

I like the PCL's, but hey...it's your watch.

RazorD · 25 February 2018, 11:43 AM

Looks great!
