Pics of my Brushed GMT IIC!

Just got my GMT IIC back from brushing this morning and i thought id take some photos!

it looks pretty good i think, better than the bracelet looked after 8 months of constant wear. and for me it brings the watch back to the tool watch section of the Rolex line up too.



























what you think? no alteration on the photos either :)

The GMT Looks so much better with brushed links. I never understood why Rolex put PCL on the GMT.

Nice Sub.... actually I prefer that look to the polished one. Can it be repolished if you decide to go back, and how much did they charge to do it?

Very nice job on that. I think I personally prefer the look of the PCLs, but I do like the brushed as well

Great shots.

The 116710 goes suit the full brushed look just as it's ancestors did.

Looks great Joe...I like 'em both ways.

Side note...Is there anything we can do on TRF to default the "quote" tool to NOT reproduce an entire chain of images?
