Personally I think 2 tone should always have polished center links. But if that's what you like you made the right choice. They did an amazing job.

I appreciate all of the comments and enjoy hearing what everyone has to say about it. I definitely understand the purists not liking it, but it fits my style way more now than before. I also have a stainless Deepsea, so it's a nice contrast to have a two-tone.

I think the first set of pictures did an ok job, but captured the brushing as looking more harsh than it actually is. I was driving yesterday and had my wife take a few photos, since the lighting was a little better and I think these capture the softness more accurately. In person, it's identical to the factory brushing. They also didn't touch the watch head, only the bracelet was sent in for brushing.

nikesupremedunk · 10 December 2019, 02:13 PM

OK, those pictures made a huge difference. I definitely like it more now than I did before. Doesn't look like the Tudor at all, in fact, it looks great. Enjoy OP!

supacarrot · 10 December 2019, 02:15 PM

When in doubt, you can always see how your Rolex would look without PCLs by examining the wrist side of your links. They should all be brushed on the inside surface.

jrs146 · 10 December 2019, 02:17 PM

Looks ok. But I think the PCLs look best.

ZeGerman11 · 10 December 2019, 02:24 PM

That looks really cool. I think the PCL’s work well with the blue dial as it is a bit more flashy, and I think this looks great with the black dial.

gsteve · 10 December 2019, 04:20 PM

Looks great. And the best part is it will always be easy to maintain. 5 mins with a scotch bright and your good. Scratched up pcl looks terrible. I brushed the case sides of my dssd. Much prefer it.

I got the bracelet back, and they did an amazing job! For me, this is how the watch should have always looked. I just don't prefer the polished links and the micro scratches and fingerprints that come along with PCLs. I also think it tones it down a bit so it's not quite as noticeable as a two tone at distance, which I like.

I know it's not a look everyone will prefer, but for me it's a 100% improvement and way more my style than the polished was.

Comparison before & after.

Suddenly a TT makes a lot of sense. Well done!

I thought I wouldn't like it. I still prefer TT with PCL, but this looks good.

That’s such a good looking watch, awesome!

GMT Aviator · 12 December 2019, 10:39 AM

I’ve been waiting to see someone do this.

I think it looks great. Congrats.

Now where is my scotchbrite?

watchdisplay · 12 December 2019, 11:04 AM

I personally feel like these brush strokes look too deep. I’d say to get it professionally brushed.

No, not for me. If you have gold, why not let it shine!

GoingPlaces · 20 December 2019, 11:21 PM

Not a fan. Gold should shine. Personally I think it’s a mistake. Should have bought a ss model.

Except that if you look at even a full YG sub, part of the bracelet comes from the factory brushed, and part (center links) polished. So even Rolex disagrees with you.

I think the brushed center links looks pretty cool. I probably would have left it alone, but I think it’s cool to switch this up if you prefer - to me it doesn’t change much about the watch.

Watchplacetime · 21 December 2019, 02:59 AM

Amazing job !

It is professionally brushed. The OP sent it to LAWW.
