A little bracelet “polished center links, scratch magnet” Note


Personally, I too hope that the new 116610 will be fitted with an all brushed bracelet, but I think it’s a bit overkill to call the polished center links models a “scratch magnet” .
I’ve owned five Rolex with polished center links (four gold/steel and one YM)
and never had any kind of problems with scratched up bracelets – and I use my watches
I tend to agree Jesper. I've owned a fair amount of each. I work in an office and while I find a brushed bracelet practically maintainence free, a polished center link bracelet will require some work with a Cape Codd polishing cloth a couple of times a year. No big deal.

I know I’m in the minority here, but scratches really don’t bother me and I would never polish surface of my bracelet with e.g. a Cape Codd polishing cloth.
The only thing i’m touchy about is WHO makes the scratches - therefore I always buy brand new ;-]
