Brushed PCL on Yachtmaster PLATNIUM/SS

Has anyone tried it, and were you happy or was it not a good idea ? Just asking for future reference.
I wonder what a silver NATO would look like on it.
Thanks
Mark

Not tried it, but I don't think it's a good idea, the YM is a very shiny watch, and the PCL bracelet really fits.

I wouldn't do it myself.

Don't know if I've mentioned this before on one of your YM threads but I'd try it on a Purple NATO.
I can't remember if the one I saw was on here but it made the red jump and looked amazing.

Here's mine.
I had it brushed by my local AD, she's now become my daily wearer.

the YM is one of those watches where the PCLs work in harmony with the rest of the watch.

brushing it kills off the aesthetics...

I definitely prefer the PCL, but I wouldn't say the brushed looks bad by any means... the watch itself is just gorgeous on anything :)

Scratching it up could only improve the looks of a YM!







of course, not one of my faves, but still nice lookin'.

Looks good but I would not do it if I had one. I like the shine on the YM.
