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

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

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

It's for me and I love it.

I don't like polished SS on any watch.

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

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

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

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.

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.
