I agree with this, but you do you!

Guess you don’t like either then…jubilee it is!

[alphadweller]

It's not terrible but I prefer with PCLs.

[mailman]

I like it.

[rmlovett1]

Looks fine. I wouldn’t do it personally, but to each their own.

[rmurphy]

I would do the exact same thing. It looks great.

I always use the Sub 114060 bracelet with glide-lock on the 126710s and 116610 it’s perfection!

Are the bracelets interchangeable?

Yes, they are, but you need the matching spring bars.

very interesting, didn't know the sub and gmt II bracelets are interchangeable.

126710BLRO jubilee owner here. Have to admit, it looks very natural with the brushed oyster bracelet. I’d do that if I had your talent!

You did a fantastic job.

If Rolex make the Oyster bracelet brushed on GMT's and Daytona's, we'd all go crazy for it. We shouldn't knock someone for doing something unique and to their own liking.

[skipstar]

I just picked up a 97200 with glidelock and sent it to Rolliworks to have it polished to make it PCL.
They just got it today so hopefully a quick turnaround.

Great work, much better than factory look IMHO

That really looks sharp. Love it!

[Midlifegoals]

I finally got to handle a GMT on oyster (with PCLs, of course) not too long ago. I felt the ‘mirror’ effect was exaggerated online and in photos. They looked much more natural on the watch in person. That said, I absolutely love the look of the brushed oyster bracelet on a GMT! Well done.

Would it be too much to ask for a GMT with three bracelets?! 114060 bracelet, standard GMT oyster bracelet, and a jubilee…seems like a perfectly normal ask. Ha

Gorgeous! Mine is on a jubilee but yours rocks! Your professional skills are evident! Wear in great health and thanks for sharing!

I wouldn't mind having a jubilee to swap to once in awhile, but from what I have read that's no longer an option. Basically, if it's something you want Rolex's answer is "NO. Wear it and shut up or buy another watch" LOL

[sgerst1601]

Would love a brushed oyster option for my batgirl. Prefer the (neo-)vintage GMTs’ tool aesthetic, just find it hard to justify the ~$2k price tag for a previous-gen oyster. If only Rolex offered the option for a brushed oyster variant from the factory!

[Hkspwrsche]

Love the more tool watch look. I’d prefer to have a spare bracelet to try it on. This is what I like about my more vintage stuff, not sure I’d be brave enough to brush the original bracelet on my ceramic Pepsi. 100% I like the look.

[WmSwatches]

You did a good job and I love the way it came out well.

[Driver8]

Good job by the OP, but personally I like the PCLs on GMTs as it helps distinguish the watch from the Sub.

[yesnaya]

The PCL oyster bracelet is my least favorite rolex bracelet. Cant stand the smudges. I keep my BLRO on jubilee, and my BLNR on a 97200 submariner bracelet with the glidelock. I didnt want to brush the PCL and have to polish if I didnt like it, so I just bought the extra bracelet.

[rick lee]

I know there are several threads on this topic, but I was wonder which other brushed bracelets will fit my BLRO. I mean other than the 97200, which will fit? I'm leaning toward sending my PCL oyster bracelet to Rolliworks, as the 97200 is just too expensive for something so minor, and I don't care about the glidelock. But if there are other, cheaper options and I can keep my PCL bracelet stock, I might be interested in that.

[marmite2005]

Looks fantastic, I really like it.

May I ask, how do you deal with the clasp and around the Welded Rolex logo?

Any updates? Do you have pic's?

[Watchsprings]

Looks really good and gives the GMT more of a “Tool” look. The PCLs on mine add too much bling for me.
