TT submariner question?
Hi I'm about to purchase this submariner but I'm not sure if the polishing is right are'nt the sides of the bracelet and clasp of a TT submariner supposed to be high polished not brushed stainless? I'm not sure anyone who can help me with this one?

I have a new "two-tone" SS DJII (PCL with brushed SS for the outer links) and the sides of my links and clasp are polished. Not sure if this would be the same for the SM...

I have a TT Sub, and the sides of the bracelet are polished. The seller must have brushed them post-production.

I've got a V-series 16613. Sides of bracelet and case are polished.
I think yours has been modified post production. |

Wrong polish, the SS Sub should have that polish but not the 2Tone...

Sorry guys over the years i have seen polished and satin sides on various watches, in fact i have some spare stainless steel sub links polished and satin, and 3 TT spare links one satin and 2 polished. My 2002 TT SUB is polished but my 1998 TT SUB was satin. OK

I've had a "K" 14060 and bracelet sides were polished. My 16610 Sub was a "F" and it had satin bracelet sides. My "F" Sea Dweller has polished sides.
