The lenghts to which some people go... Looks good but why?

Also, what on earth are you wearing, sir? Is that a jacket, of sorts?

Why? Because I have both and wanted to change it up.

Wearing? A rain jacket. My go to...when it’s raining.

None taken. It was raining all week that week, which I welcome to escape the heat.

The only thing I didn’t understand was your comment about “the lengths people go to” - I have had both of these watches for some time and most certainly didn’t buy them for the bracelet switch (if that is what you meant).

The bracelets just happened to be interchangeable on two models I own. Def don’t work with my 16800.

Pretty cool. I actually like those PCLs on the Hulk.

Yeah, the “flash” of the PCLs seem to work with the flashier green dial of the hulk. I was surprised that it looked better than the brush.

Of course, the brushed glidelock on the Batman has been done many times before but haven’t seen the PCLs on the hulk.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback.

I mean, it's all personal taste but I think the GMT reads as slightly dressier, so the PCLs make more sense (to me at least).

GMT's should be on a jubilee, though (imho)

What "lengths"? It probably took the Op five minutes to do the switch. And why? Well, why not? If something looks good one way, and also looks good another way, why wouldn't you try both ways?

Would you avoid wearing a shirt with a certain pair of trousers just because those trousers already look good with a different shirt?

Some folks seem to have this idea that a Rolex is this flawless, ideal thing, and changing it in any way is somehow wrong. The entire point of a separate bracelet connected by springbars is to remove it. It's literally designed to be easily taken off.

Nope .Prefer the original configuration.

SearChart · 4 July 2020, 02:56 PM

I don't like PCL's at all, and definitely not on a submariner.

I guess you’re not a fan of The Smurf.

Correct.

Gwai · 4 July 2020, 07:38 PM

Okay. It is entirely possible I chose the wrong words. I have changed bracelets myself, so I have a general idea how long that takes. I will rest my case as I'm realizing I can't really explain why it struck me as funny that OP did this to make in effect what is generally conceived as the "toolier" watch appear less so and the supposedly "dressier" one look more toolish, i.e. making the two watches get even closer in looks rather than maintaining their respective distinguishing features.

If that doesn't make sense to you, please disregard.

I like the PCL's on both the LV-C and the GMT, actually.

Heff · 4 July 2020, 10:57 PM

I like PCLs on both!

Better for BLNR, worse for SubC. Brushed looks better on everything (including Daytona).

However, since that is not possible for you (unless you buy a new bracelet), the cosmopolitan watch makes 100% more sense with PCLs. SubC has no business rocking the same. I don’t agree with it on Smurf either. However, it can be argued that WG is a show piece, not really intended for utilitarian purposes. In which case, I get it, but do not like it.

My opinion, switch back! Both prices are awesome!

Checking1234 · 5 July 2020, 01:30 AM

Honestly I like the PCLs more on the Batman after seeing them on the hulk. Hulk seems more tool watch but honestly, both are multi thousand dollar luxury watches with the same robustness (minus the water rating on the GmT but irrelevant) so PCL vs Brushed is a random move, both look equally as good on either piece just different to the beholder.

TellingTime · 5 July 2020, 02:25 AM

No way.

zjd168 · 5 July 2020, 02:43 AM

Brushed would probably look good for BLNR too, PCL in Hulk is a different story

rfs · 5 July 2020, 04:26 AM

Looks good OP.

Eddy350 · 5 July 2020, 04:54 AM

Not a fan of PCLs but actually looks good on the Hulk.

supacarrot · 5 July 2020, 05:06 AM

I think both look better with brushed.

I feel like PCLs belong on PM only. Steel just looks better brushed to me. Plus it helps for people who like "stealth watches" to have a small extra feature like PCLs in addition to just a dial color change.

Loevhagen · 5 July 2020, 05:13 AM

I had both watches - and did the same. There's a caveat in doing this: Putting the brushed bracelet onto the BLNR is quite difficult on one end and one part of the spring bar. At least, several users reported the same in 2015-2016.

iTreelex · 5 July 2020, 05:17 AM

hard pass on PCL. Brushed on both imo but nice collection OP!
