Droool. Congrats. Wow, the watch looks even better with BCLs. I tried it on yesterday, its's amazing.
Can someone tell me how you would go about swapping out the bracelet for a BCL? I honestly, do not mind them, but I will admit the brushed looks a tad better. |

Well, it's not a debate because those with good taste prefer brushed

Can we call it something else, the bruiser name is a downer.
Maybe the Day-Night GMT Anyway, I'll be getting a Day-Night gmt soon, I plan to keep the PCLs. |

Brushed links all the way! Much better than the original bracelet. Anyway, I hope Rolex don´t change it, as the polished bracelets are making me save money keeping me away from the GMTs.

I like the darker color the polished links give to the steel and think it matches the black face better than the brushed center links.
I'd stay original on this one |

My GMT2c has brushed links as I think it looks better too...
Ps Why does 'silkroaded' have to quote the op? Isn't it obvious to what his remarks refer to which are virtually the same as everyone elses? |

I don't understand all the hate for PCL's. I love them with or without scratches!
Someone suggested that "Batman" was violent, I don't see how it's any more violent than the "Hulk". I personally love the Batman name and it fits well with the watch! |

Love the Brushed look so much more than PCL's....
However, I think I want to like the blue/black much more than I actually do.... |

However, trying to justify the word bruiser, not cool... How about call the watch exactly the name Rolex calls it.... |
