YG brushed bracelet

hey guys, really thinking about getting 116718 for my 30th birthday - it's 2013, so plenty time yet - however, really don't like the polished center links. Have you ever seen or done brushed center links on yellow gold version? I've done that on my 116710LN and looks absolutely stunning IMHO. Pics would help..

I wouldn't brush gold. I'm sure someone has though. Maybe someone will post. I'm sure it will be interesting.

The brushed look on the st/st PCL bracelet looks good but I would buy a second bracelet before I would brush an original.
As for brushing the TT PCL bracelet.....no way..never.. kill me first.

But...its your watch.

I would brush out PCL's in a second if it was my watch.

I own a Thunderbird on a TT oyster and have always wanted to see what it would look like with the gold PCL's brushed out...Like the OP, I would love it of someone would post a pic

It's fine as is IMHO. Besides, it'll patina soon enough.



I can understand brushing an 116710... It's a tool watch right? But the 116718 is all about bling.
