If you think the new style bracelets with >>>>>

Polished center links is a scratch magnet ……. You’re absolutely right ;)

Personally, I still hope (and think) the new 116610 Submariner will be with polished center links.
Imagine if Rolex offered the opportunity to choose between a polished and an all brushed bracelet
;-)

Some polished and brushed pictures

Personally, I don't care for polished center links on a sports watch. I hope the new sub sticks with the brushed look.

Today I was looking down at my Milgauss and the smudges on the PCLs and thought what a pain in the a**.. I usually have the same frustration when when I wear my Daytona. I thought that I would address this on the TRF tonight and I saw this thread. Though they look nice, I think tool watches should have brushed links.

Great great shots
And IMO after seeing DSSD's newly designed bracelet with brushed links, the updated ceramic submariner would have the all brushed bracelet

I love the polished center links! A few scratches or fingerprints on tool watches don't bother me.

PCL's look great, but the brushed links can be easily refurbished, at home, in about 5 minutes!
