What determines polished center links? Sub C

Hey,

Just wondering what determines polished center links on a sub c? Is it the age, serial or what?

As I see people with brushed bracelets and polished centers with the same sub?

Thanks

Some people have them polished but they don't come that way

The two-tone and solid styles are more dressy.

No pcl's on a steel sub, pm/ two tone have them, pm to distinguish it from steel IMHO

The Steel GMT IIs are all PCLs now. Another distinguishing factor.

Thanks. I also had my 116610LN polished, but put it back to original state after buying a SS GMT from a local TRF member. No need to have two watches that looked very similar.

Bottom line is that the 116610 never came with PCL's. Very possible members here have modded their watch, but do not expect to find one from Rolex with PCL unless it is two tone or full gold.
