correct as it is polished,... but if im not mistaken a regular brushed bracelet from a sub should fit fine for less $

Very nice bracelet mod.

Nice photo, too.

Yep the Sub-Date 93250 will fit, it runs $1150, but it does not have All Solid Links or the newer clasp with the easy-link. Older clasp runs approx $200-300, the new clasp goes for $950 from Rolex.

post a picture of the clasp please

valentine · 21 February 2009, 09:25 AM

looks great!!!!!! now THAT'S what a GMT is SUPPOSED to look like!!!!!

kbutler971 · 7 May 2015, 06:12 AM

I brushed the center links on my GMT II C, IMO changed the look of the watch for the better. Nice pictures!

WatchSmith · 21 February 2009, 09:28 AM

Here's the clasp.

touchdowntodd · 21 February 2009, 10:01 AM

wonder how it will effect resale value?

It should increase since it looks better now.

Z-Sub · 21 February 2009, 10:04 AM

like it

WatchSmith · 21 February 2009, 10:04 AM

Don't know and don't care. My watches are to wear and enjoy and resale is never a consideration. Not faulting those who do, but it's not an issue with me.

spogehead · 21 February 2009, 10:37 AM

I can see a difference in the brush finishes did you do it yourself or did you get it done by a pro?

emmagee · 21 February 2009, 10:42 AM

OK, I just got my GMT IIC this afternoon, When I first saw a IIC in an AD I decided I would have the center links brushed when I bought one, now, after wearing one for six hours, I'm not so sure, they don't bother me as bad as I thought they would. I think for the time being I am going to leave it alone, if I decide to change it Bob Ridley told me he could have it done in no time.

Wildwing · 21 February 2009, 04:23 PM

Looks good. The all SS sport watches look much better with brushed finish.

CPCC · 21 February 2009, 04:27 PM

Love the brushed look

buz-lh · 21 February 2009, 06:52 PM

I'm on the fence about this. I think it looks good both ways. The 116710 is a flashier watch no doubt and this tones it down some but I really like the shine of the ceramic bezel next to the polished center links.

swatty · 21 February 2009, 07:00 PM

I'm happy to stay with PCL's . I like to leave my watches the way they were designed.

Ogie · 21 February 2009, 09:43 PM

Looks good both ways my friend.

Nods · 21 February 2009, 11:12 PM

I prefer the polished center, though ask me again as the watch gets older with more scratches.

tomc1944 · 21 February 2009, 11:29 PM

JJ, I'm with you. I like the polished center links. I think it sets Rolex apart from all the "clone" watches out there. The polished links go with the highly polished ceramic bezel.

82cowboys · 6 April 2015, 10:49 AM

Looks absolutely fantastic!

Jat · 6 April 2015, 10:56 AM

👍

Stay thirsty my friend...

I'm thinking about doing this with a TT oyster... Anyone tried?

brandrea · 7 May 2015, 06:50 AM

Look great, but I still prefer polished Center link on the modern GMT

grrr · 7 May 2015, 09:02 AM

I love the PCLs on my GMT.
