Top notch. Sport watches must be brushed, imho.

Much better. He did a great job around the crown on the clasp.

I wish the GMT came brushed from the factory. So much better IMO. I may do this if I ever get another GMTIIC.

PCL is the most unpractical thing that will brush itself with time sooner or later. The first pics are the best example how horrible the PCL will not hold

Very nice improvement. Looks the way it should have come from the factory.

That looks great. In my opinion, all SS models with oyster bracelets should be brushed. Oyster bracelets with PCLs should be reserved for precious metal models.

Wow! That is an amazing price for both the service and the brush. I need both and have not found anyone near those prices.
Could you possibly forward me their contact info??
MUch appreciated!

Nice Job but quite easy to brush finish yourself,but a little bit harder to re-polish if needed.And any good watchmaker could service any watch most all movements are basically the same in components and how they are built.Now with all the Rolex movements like the 3 series they are quite user service friendly and being quite a large movement more easy to service than many others.But the main problem is that Rolex has such a strangle hold on parts if needed that's the only problem when it comes to general movement service.

Looks OK - except for the area around the clasp crown. The area above there does not look good.

That's how a GMT should look like! Too bad they come in PCL. Main reason why I chose the sub as I had a tough time with the PCL in my milgauss!

Looks great!

I'm the opposite, I really like the PCL. I'm going to do it on my 116610LV.
