Having a Pepsi with Polished Center Links on my Wrist Can Only Mean One Thing...

...I was a little bored today.






Sorry, no WG Pepsi for me, but I do like the look. It's not perfect so I'll be spending some extra time buffing on her; but it's a nice fresh look I think.

And I brushed the polished PCL on my GMT IIc. We should have just swapped.

I prefer the brushed look, can still see the marks. IMO, go back. With that said, as long as you're happy, I'm happy

Did you brush it yourself or have it done? If you've done it yourself what did you use?

Not for me on the 16710 but if you like it that is what counts, as well as being easily reversible

Thanks guys, yeah I just thought I'd try it. Honestly I've just used a cape cod cloth, some painters tape, a microfiber towel and some elbow grease. Couple more passes and I think it'll even better. As many have pointed out, it's always reversible, so I didn't have much to lose.

I actually took it to a Rolex-certified watchmaker since I wanted it to look factory original. It cost $50.

Did same thing, brushed the PCL off my DJ2... had a AD watchmaker in Seattle do it and it was no charge (known the watchmaker a few years tho).
