A subtle difference 16610 v 16710

First time I got my two babies together and I notice something I have never seen mentioned on the forum. This is interesting in the PCL debate.

The GMT 2 bracelet has polished sides whereas the sub has brushed.

Hard to photo¡

Also odd that the sea-dweller is polished like the GMT.

That is correct.
93150 is brushed sides whereas 78790A is polished sides, same as Explorer II 16570.
