After 19 months, No PCL on my GMT-C

[sheldonsmith]

After 19 months, and after viewing Hannes' images on his 116710, I decided to have the bracelet brushed. After seeing the DeepSeas and AirKings with a fully brushed oyster bracelet, I knew that the bracelet on my GMT-C should be brushed. Since taking ownership of the GMT-C, as well as when I owned a Turn-O-Graph, I was always somewhat schizophrenic on the polished center link.



The bracelet came out fantastic. I predict that when there is a mad-dash to take ownership of the new all -stainless Submariners, many will have the polished center link brushed. A brushed bracelet matches the satin finish on the watch head, fits Rolex's pedigree and history, and frankly, I think Rolex got it wrong when they included polished center links in the specifications. Brushed links understates the appearance of the watch, but improves the stout sport appearance that is part of Rolex's provenance.

I have more images and more to the story posted at http://www.minus4plus6.com/116710.htm#brushed

I´d love to see the pics, but the link gives me nothing but a "server Error" message.
