Love my BLNR but found myself wearing my Sub ND and Hulk more due to the brushed bracelet offered more comfort. Plus fell out of love with the PCL.

So realised if I could combine the 2 best of both. Bought myself the sub gridlock bracelet and installed onto the BLNR and I think it looks pretty good. My perfect watch now.

I didn’t want to brush the original bracelet as still under warranty etc, plus I would get gridlock so an expensive option I know but I’m happy so all good.

Looks great!

Awesome !

red1108nyc · 2 June 2018, 04:55 AM

I love it and smart move

Caduceus · 2 June 2018, 05:21 AM

Really awesome!

Ive been thinking about doing the same so thank you for posting these incredible photos.

The PCLs just scratch so easily.

The GMT can be a tool watch too!

SeaDweller50 · 2 June 2018, 04:52 AM

Much better imo. Looks great.

Uggi · 2 June 2018, 04:52 AM

Looks MILES better without the shiny mirror links.
Great move!

Looks great, I’d do the same if I had one.

harvey · 2 June 2018, 05:02 AM

Now I would consider buying that!

KBM · 2 June 2018, 05:02 AM

Heck of a combo!

Kingfish01 · 2 June 2018, 05:06 AM

I agree with your decision, the best of both worlds

Urosfan · 2 June 2018, 05:08 AM

Looks good

SBC1986 · 2 June 2018, 05:12 AM

great upgrade!

c41006 · 2 June 2018, 05:14 AM

It looks fantastic

Verdi · 2 June 2018, 05:16 AM

Boy, that looks good. This is how this watch should leave the factory.

gummy · 2 June 2018, 05:17 AM

Love it!

Dominik · 2 June 2018, 05:22 AM

Very beautiful. Just better.

datejust24 · 2 June 2018, 05:24 AM

Never been a fan of PCLS on non pm watches...agree it looks considerably better

037 · 2 June 2018, 05:27 AM

I generally don't like the BLNR but this makes it better. I like the PCLs on every other model but brushed really works here.

m j b · 2 June 2018, 05:28 AM

That is a good look. I'd do that too, if it weren't for the thousands and thousands of dollars that it would cost me.

And I think it's glidelock, not gridlock. We'll blame it on the iPad and its autocorrect nonsense.

Nope it’s me... not sure why I had gridlock in my mind, not sure why :) yeap I meant glide lock ..

JimSnyder · 2 June 2018, 10:19 AM

Perfect!

WatchinMD · 2 June 2018, 11:40 AM

Looks good. I do like the PCLs though

Atone · 2 June 2018, 05:29 AM

I finally like that watch now. Well done. The PCL was my greatest aversion to it!
