Courageous and an awesome result! I'm thinking of doing same to SS Daytona. First time I've said that out loud. Tiny steps.......

Well the good thing about it is that you can always change it back if it doesn't sing to you

nick c · 28 April 2013, 11:21 AM

Looks good

patek.wis · 28 April 2013, 11:37 AM

Good job brushing the lugs. Without that it'd be tacky
Looks great

Olav16710 · 28 April 2013, 11:40 AM

Looks good,

jedperkins · 28 April 2013, 12:02 PM

Wow, you have more nerve than me, but that looks really nice!

It looks great, and you can always revert it if you fall out.

Looks good!

Looks awesome with this DJII combo!

seand442 · 28 April 2013, 01:11 PM

I like it.

Hairdude1 · 28 April 2013, 01:22 PM

Looks cool

Roller07 · 28 April 2013, 01:31 PM

It's for me and I love it.

I don't like polished SS on any watch.

rmurphy · 28 April 2013, 02:14 PM

I also agree that it's a great look. Congrats on making it uniquely yours.

ec51 · 28 April 2013, 02:43 PM

Love the look...!

Exactly...!

Magnificent, beautiful & perfect......this is how an ss oyster bracelet should be....non PCL'd.......I am weeping with joy.
Thank you for keeping the faith brother.

acce1999 · 28 April 2013, 06:31 PM

I like it, and can not understand why Rolex do not offer all brushed bracelets and lugs as an option when purchasing a watch. The Milgauss would - IMO - be even more beautiful with brushed lugs and an all brushed bracelet. Daytona; same thing. DJ 116200 too. Like the OP 116000...

Best,

A

GeoGio Greece · 28 April 2013, 06:59 PM

Really nice , takes the blink out of it and makes it classic. I had a DJ in 1983 and it reminded me of that. Classic Oyster with a modern clasp on a brand new head. A combination that goes under the radar and one with taste

samsam · 28 April 2013, 07:28 PM

I had a post about this maybe a month ago or so.. People thought I was crazy, and here you are my friend.. Thumbs up!!
It looks interesting and different...

Ardalan · 28 April 2013, 08:39 PM

Nice

cop414 · 28 April 2013, 08:45 PM

I think that it looks great, not sure if I'd do the bezel though.

Yah. I read that post and from that I thought most here would disapprove of this mod. I am glad that most seem to dig it

amaninspired · 28 April 2013, 11:33 PM

I've got to say, I like it! I don't think it would look good with the white gold fluted bezel. With the polished bezel, however, it looks fantastic! Better I think than the polished bezel looks with polished centre links.

capote · 28 April 2013, 11:34 PM

I say that you improved the original design, well done

Gerardus · 28 April 2013, 11:51 PM

Congratz!

ryanbush · 29 April 2013, 12:47 AM

Looks awesome, I now know what my next rolex will be.

That is quite a result right there! Looks great.

Ray6Chan8 · 29 April 2013, 12:57 AM

Firstly congrats on your new Rolex! now this just looks like the 6694 which is one of the classics. Enjoy

RRGHOST1 · 29 April 2013, 01:47 AM

PCL's are a pain, if they get scratched it makes the watch look shabby, i like it, it looks heaps better, congrats, i would do the same.
