Brush Those PCL's...

Summer is coming..the Sun is shining.........

This all means that those dangerous PCL's need to be toned down. You wouldn't want to cause flash blindness in passers-by, or be the reason for a car crash from the unwanted glare....

...........Do everybody a favor and get those PCL's toned down...


(I suppose you could hang from the ceiling and rotate slowly giving everybody the glitter-ball affect....)

Sorry Larry, but I have to disagree with you on this one, I love my PCLs, I think it gives the whole watch a bit more... oh I don't know, shine I guess. Maybe it is the contrast of the PCLS to the rest of the bracelett I like. The point is, the only thing I'll be brushing is my teeth!

Larry, I have to agree with Paul...I really do love my PCLs as well and think they give my GMTc the extra look I was looking for when I bought her a month ago!
I do like the all brushed look a lot as well, but on my GMT it has to be the PCLs
That's a beautiful watch

Well Larry, I'm with you. I hate PCL's and will never buy a watch that has them.

Larry, I am pretty much in agreement with you. I like the PCL on my Yachtmaster, but would not want them on my everyday "beater" GMT, Sub etc

The brushed center links were a big turn on for me with the No Date Oyster Perpetual - I feel like it made the WG bezel that much more impressive looking.

The daytona costs so much Rolex needs to include one of each, polished and brushed, and then throw in a NATO to drive JJ mad.
