Buy a sub bracelet and swap them. Requires different pins but works. Did this on my blnr.

Interesting theory but I don’t want extra bracelet. Thank you.

You can do it yourself, not too difficult.
Any watchmaker or Jeweler can do it.

Switch to Jubilee bracelet, it is less prone to scratches.

Which pins did you use?

That's an extremely expensive way to complete a very simple task.

OG1982 · Yesterday, 05:38 PM

There are several good watchmakers in the US (if that's where you are located) that could do this for you, Roliworks being one. I would not try to do it myself.

Any watchmaker that has experience with polishing Rolex would be able to complete this easily, and it wouldn't cost much either.

It’s not going to look good. The grain will be slightly different.

Swap the bracelet, sub or jubilee, but don’t massacre this one out of a whim.

Agree don’t deliberately damage the original bracelet either live with it or change it for something else.

And quite easy to do, but a lot harder to re-polish if ever needed.

If the OP chooses a jeweler to refinish the Oyster links, the best way to avoid any variations would be lapping the full links, not just the PCLs.

It's not damage - it's just a modifying the PCLs into a satin finish. Easily reversed.

At the very next RSC service it will be re-polished to factory finish. But that is one drawback of this modification - Rolex will reverse it every time if the brushed bracelet is attached when the watch is serviced.

This leaves the OP only one option for overhauls: an independent watchmaker.

The OP could just send in the head of the watch for service if he wants it serviced at a Rolex service center and doesn’t want the center links restored to a polished finish.

Awesome! This deserves a Youtube video so we can see the entire process! I love this idea, need to make one of these! Wish I had a 3D printer, I see a nice project in my future. Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks guys, its great for touching up a brushed bracelet. If you have one of those and a Cape Cod cloth, you can have a pleasant evening touching up a used watch at home. It's not as good as a proper paid for job, this is just a light or superficial touch up - if you enjoy fiddling with your watches..!

When I buy a used watch I always tidy it up for my own use then I can enjoy putting my own marks on it!
