Hi I'm about to purchase this submariner but I'm not sure if the polishing is right are'nt the sides of the bracelet and clasp of a TT submariner supposed to be high polished not brushed stainless? I'm not sure anyone who can help me with this one?

I have a new "two-tone" SS DJII (PCL with brushed SS for the outer links) and the sides of my links and clasp are polished. Not sure if this would be the same for the SM...

the bracelet looks to be in really good condition

I have a TT Sub, and the sides of the bracelet are polished. The seller must have brushed them post-production.

gqllc · 5 August 2010, 12:53 AM

My M series Sub LV has brushed sides

orioner00 · 5 August 2010, 01:51 AM

I've got a V-series 16613. Sides of bracelet and case are polished.

I think yours has been modified post production.

rmfnla · 5 August 2010, 02:15 AM

I've never seen any oyster band with brushed sides.

JUSTROLEXES · 5 August 2010, 02:21 AM

Wrong polish, the SS Sub should have that polish but not the 2Tone...

orioner00 · 5 August 2010, 02:22 AM

rangrov · 5 August 2010, 02:59 AM

Sorry guys over the years i have seen polished and satin sides on various watches, in fact i have some spare stainless steel sub links polished and satin, and 3 TT spare links one satin and 2 polished. My 2002 TT SUB is polished but my 1998 TT SUB was satin. OK

rmfnla · 5 August 2010, 06:14 AM

Interesting. I'd love to hear what an AD had to say about it.

orioner00 · 5 August 2010, 09:29 PM

rkammer · 6 August 2010, 12:02 AM

I've had a "K" 14060 and bracelet sides were polished. My 16610 Sub was a "F" and it had satin bracelet sides. My "F" Sea Dweller has polished sides.

rangrov · 6 August 2010, 08:41 PM
