rebel_1 · 2 May 2017, 11:49 AM

LA WatchWorks. Look no further they are the best.

See some of their work here...

brushing PCL's on BLNR

Etschell · 2 May 2017, 11:58 AM

Okay. I'm sure lawatchworks is good.

Some ads can do it as well.

Polished Center Links

jelizalde · 2 May 2017, 02:58 PM

Great, gonna contact la watchworks!

Smarties · 2 May 2017, 03:18 PM

If price is not an issue, you may try to source a sub bracelets together with end link from an AD. I've read someone in this forum had done it.

Danny83 · 2 May 2017, 03:53 PM

Dont do it

jack110 · 2 May 2017, 08:46 PM

yep dont do it, its like getting a new ferrari and switching out the wheels for aftermkt....imho that is,its all personal

RRGHOST1 · 2 May 2017, 08:48 PM

I would do it, brushed links look better to me.

DLRIDES · 2 May 2017, 09:03 PM

There was a time when individuals wanted their tritium replaced with modern lume, those watches are not desireable now. Just sayin'

GB-man · 2 May 2017, 11:53 PM

I say go for it. Looks much better. In fact I only wore my blnr on a glidelock bracelet. Sold it a year later and the PCLs bracelet was still fully stickered.

WAK4 · 3 May 2017, 03:12 AM

Can't comment on the original question, but can say I've worn my BLNR on a brushed bracelet (I have the original PCL and a second one I had brushed) 90% of the time.

However, lately I've left it on the PCLs...I think wearing the 116500 has softened me on my view of PCL bracelets. But I do like having the option to go back and forth

Except of course that it's nothing like that. It would be like buying a Ferrari with OEM chrome wheels and getting them brushed.

GMT Aviator · 3 May 2017, 07:38 AM

Put it on a sub bracelet. That's what I did with mine and it also has the added bonus of giving you the glidelock as well.

Ding ding ding

nikesupremedunk · 3 May 2017, 09:27 AM

I too would rather just get a sub bracelet and get glide lock as a bonus.

I'd buy a 114060 and just use the bracelet. You could even throw the Sub on a rubber everest.

If you get sick of the sub and/or brushed bracelet on your GMT, just sell the sub. You might take a small hit if you sell the sub, but the value you'd lose in brushing your original GMT bracelet will make up the hit you take on the sale of the sub. If you buy and sell right, it shouldn't be an issue however.

It is very easy to polish center links back to spec and without hurting bracelet at all. I have seen it done plenty of times and from LAWW too so no big deal! You would never even know believe me.

Indeed, as I did with mine. You would never have known they'd been brushed in the first place. It cost me slightly more to return to PCL but still cheap.

bardm · 3 May 2017, 08:38 PM

My recomandation is NOT to do it. Looks best with PCLs

That's good to hear... any pics after the polished them back?

jelizalde · 11 June 2017, 07:07 AM

Got my bracelet back within a week from LA Watchworks... I love it! They did a great job! Recommend! Sorry for the lack of creativity or lighting with these photos!
