Help brush my polish center link

[Gotgolf52]

After sold my daily submariner I decided to make my Pepsi my daily watch but I don’t like the PCL. Any recommendations of who can brush my Pepsi? Thank you

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.

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.
