GMT Polished Center Links
I know the new Stainless GMTii Ceramic has PCL. I'm browsing some used ones and it looks like pre-Ceramic are not polished? Is that right?

Wow. That changes things. Now that I'm getting the Hulk, i was thinking of aiming for a used GMT, but I like the PCL. So I guess I'll be saving a little longer!
 Thanks for the info.

Go with what you will wear - wrist time trumps all. GMT IIC is gorgeous but subs have a different versatility. Try em on and make sure it's yours!

If you really want PCLs you can always have a good watch smith polish them for you. I did that on a older datejust bracelet and I love the look.

 you could polish the center links up on an older GMT for sure, an afternoon with a Cape Cod and you are good to go Here's a thread about some guys that went the "other way" and brushed out the PCL's, so each there own.... http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...d+center+links |

Yep. Of course, some say this is blasphemes, but I say wear it how you want it. You want a little extra bling on an older model, why not? You still won't have anything on the H1 driving douche who dropped 4 diamond-crusted Breitlings at my watchmakers yesterday for polishes...
