Polishing center links on an OP?
Hello all wise and knowledgeable Rolex gurus,
I am new to the Rolex game, having recently obtained my first two of these master timepieces: a DJ36 on jubilee, and an OP. I absolutely love the jubilee bracelet but wanted something different for the other watch, so I thought the more "casual" look of the brushed bracelet on the OP would do the trick. Sadly, I am not really loving the bracelet on the OP. The brushed look is a little too dull for my taste, so I've been thinking of a way to jazz it up: turning the center links from brushed to polished, to make it look like the DJ center links. I found some old threads here about folks turning their polished center links to brushed, but couldn't find any discussing the other way around. So, is it possible to polish the center links on a brushed bracelet on an Oyster Perpetual? If so, do you have a recommendation of someone who could do it? I know if I tried it myself I would mangle the thing .... Even better, I'd love to buy a bracelet for the OP with a polished center link, ala the Datejust, as then I'd just swap the bracelets, but am I correct that such a bracelet does not exist? A Datejust bracelet will not fit the OP, correct? Thanks for all your insights to help out this newbie! |

Oh, and one other question: how much material does a polishing remove? I assume trying to polish a brushed link should not damage its structural integrity?
