Does anyone has brushed BLNR link ?

SUB brushed link is awesome. I heard BLNR polished link can be brushed. I wonder if anyone has tried that one ? If so pls share your views : )
Thanks

Plenty here have done it. I prefer my sub bracelet on BLNR. Either look awesome IMO.

It has been done many times. There have been those who've polished their center links on subs and those who have brushed the PCL's on their GMT's (modern 6 digit references with the PCL's). It's all about preference or staying true to the original design. Personally I like PCL's although they tend to be scratch magnets. If you want your GMT to be less flashy and fly slightly under the radar then go for it brush them, you can always go back.

Absolutely love BCLs on GMT C models. I would like to see brushed Pepsi Ceramic (really do not like the jubilee on that watch).

I didn't brush mine, but I did purchase a 97200 (Sub) bracelet on TRF. I would have brushed it, but I love the Glidelock so much.

So I assume it fits perfectly with no mods? Must be same for Pepsi (don’t like that jubilee)

I’ve read that a narrower pin (can’t remember which one) fits a bit better, but the GMT pins work fine. My AD buddy checked it and said it’s not going anywhere.

Or search the forum, there have been a few threads in the past month with people posting pics of their gmt’s with brushed links/Submariner bracelet. Some even without the Cyclopes.

Me too. I love this bracelet and clasp on the BLNR. Makes it perfect.
