PCL has become a controversy....many would prefer the brushed center link as it is more scratch proof.....but some would say that polished center link has given a touch of luxury ......

What would you say on PCL? Yes or No?

Regards,

broham84 · 12 April 2019, 01:12 AM

PCL on jubilee yes, but not on oyster. The only thing i dislike about my daytona is the PCL.

beshannon · 12 April 2019, 01:14 AM

I like them and do not worry about scratches

How about the polished lugs?

I agree with this somewhat. I think PCL's should be on a dressier bracelet like an jubilee or president. That being said, I don't think a jubilee should go on a sports model. To me, it looks forced like a wingtips with sweats and a t-shirt. I have a BLNR and the PCL's didn't grow on me at all like I thought they would so I purchased a 97200 Sub bracelet for it. The ONLY thing that keeps me from buying a 116619 (WG Sub) are the PCL's. I absolutely LOVE the watch and weight, but the PCL's just look so out of place to me.

joli160 · 12 April 2019, 01:26 AM

Without PCL's they look so boring

I never notice polished lugs. I can spot PCL's across a room. I think they look great on dressier watches, but not on a sports model. Not even a little.

Watcheroo · 12 April 2019, 01:28 AM

I love my PCLs

This is the correct answer

Greenwich Mean Time · 12 April 2019, 01:30 AM

I like PCL. IMO it looks great on a Sub as well.

rmlovett1 · 12 April 2019, 01:32 AM

Depends on the reference.....SS professional model, I could take it or leave it.
PM models....no problem, prefer them.

pickettt · 12 April 2019, 01:33 AM

Definitely depends on the watch.

I actually think it’s a great detail...alternating polished lug, brushed link, polished center link, brushed link, polished lug.

piratfisk · 12 April 2019, 01:51 AM

I'm a fan of PCLs on oyster bracelets. I look forward to my future GVz Milgauss & its PCLs. I'm not too worried about scratches.

Old Geezer · 12 April 2019, 02:13 AM

I wasn't a fan at first when I got my first TT Sub 15 years ago but grew to appreciate them on certain references. Have no issue with them on my TT GMTc, BLNR or Daytona C. In fact, I rather like the sparkle when they catch light or sunshine.

tie219 · 12 April 2019, 02:21 AM

Depends on the model. No for subs and GMTS, yes for Daytonas, PM watches, and jubilee bracelets.

rod442 · 12 April 2019, 02:30 AM

I quite like the PCL's on oyster look, but it almost seems that rolex is heading to putting them only on PM (or partial) models. I know they aren't there yet, but switching to a jubilee on a Blnr etc is another step to going that way.

Brew · 12 April 2019, 02:33 AM

I think they look great, and I don't mind the swirls and scratches a bit.

417WIS · 12 April 2019, 02:37 AM

Like a few have already said, I like PCLs on jubilee but not on oyster.

SeaDweller50 · 12 April 2019, 02:43 AM

No. Big mistake on the GMT especially.

Rolexatlast · 12 April 2019, 02:47 AM

I love them on my DJ, but am pleased they aren't polished on my Sub

Jerrocop · 12 April 2019, 03:04 AM

On SS, no way!

LooseCann0n · 12 April 2019, 03:05 AM

Like having them on my Daytona as this is my dressy (suit) watch and like not having them on my SD4k as this is my casual (weekend) watch.

CoveWatch · 12 April 2019, 03:07 AM

Wasn't a fan of PCL's initially.. but they've grown on me and I really like them

denmanproject · 12 April 2019, 03:12 AM

Love them on my BLNR and would never change it but on my OP prefer brushed

ap1 · 12 April 2019, 03:19 AM

Was unaware of any controversy

Vetracer · 12 April 2019, 05:04 AM

I dislike PSLs on my Daytona. The brushed finish on my Submariners are much more forgiving.

Bob the brush · 12 April 2019, 05:20 AM

I really like them, and have them on TOG and GMT , but I think they would look out of place on the Air King, its 'busy' enough.

wulin · 12 April 2019, 05:23 AM

Yes

GMT Aviator · 12 April 2019, 05:58 AM

PCL’s on a Datejust...no problem. Suits the watch IMHO.

PCL’s on a GMT or sub etc....no, they should all be brushed IMHO, even the TT’s.
