Put glidelock + BCL's on BLNR, Like PCL's better
I think I like the look of the PCL's better, but I really wanted a glidelock because I am an unstable water bag and love the glidelock on my deep blue.
I'll wear it around a bit like this. If I find I want to go back to PCL's, can I get the glidelock clasp polished in the center? Then I can have PCL's + glidelock which would make me mucho happy. PCL's |

It's nice with the BCL's...A little more dressy with the PCL's.

Yes it would be very easy for a jeweler to polish the raised center section on a GlideLock clasp.

I like the look of PCLs on the BLNR. So I would polish the clasp.

Best of both worlds IMO. Perhaps one of the reasons I never really bonded with my BLNR

I feel the BLNR loses something without PCLs. I wouldn’t want it without them.

Absolutely. I love the BCL on my LVc, but seeing these pictures, I wouldn't have them on my BLNR. OP, polishing them should not be a problem. I have seen aluminum motorcycle parts polished to a chrome finish. I would definitely stay with PCLs on BLNR. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I gotta admit, I thought I would like the BLNR more with BCLs but I actually think the PCLs add a little dressy to it. Pros vs cons wrt them getting scratched up though

I have the BLNR and like the PCLs. I don't like that they are a scratch magnet but I also have a TT GMTc which is even worse. A glidelock on BLNR would really make me happy too. Shouldn't be any issue having the glidelock center polished.

To be honest, when it starts getting this complicated, I start looking for another watch.

Yea most people don't like PCL's but it really makes the watch. Looks weird with brushed but it could just be that I'm not used to seeing it that way.

Three weeks with the BCL's and I don't like my BLNR anymore. Was thinking about selling it. Put the PCL's back on with the BCL glidelock to see if I fall back in love. So far, yup, I love it again. Was just too boring looking with BCL's.

Are you planning on getting the center of the glidelock polished ? If so pictures please.

Hard to explain but the BLNR just isn't the same without the PCLs.... I'm not into it

Agreed. The BLNR loses a bit of its draw without the PCLs. People say it’s too blingy, but it’s supposed to be. It’s like complaining about how the Bluesy is too in your face. In my opinion, it’s supposed to be.
