Looks wayyy better with the brushed bracelet.
Cant wait till they come out with the Pepsi GMTIIC. That's an argument in the kitchen waiting to happen.... |

This watch should have been released with brushed links from the get go. So much nicer... we can only hope that the Pepsi version is released true to its lineage with brushed center links.

Brushed looks much better on tool watches.

Great piece either way....but am I the only one who thinks the original PCL's add that extra flare not provided by a standard SubC bracelet?? PCL's on this one all the way!

The black and blue work well together in my opinion along with the white/cream of the hands and hour markers. I think the all brushed bracelet looks good and I reckon it would also look real good on black leather with white stitching such as a Hirsch Liberty

Wow this watch looks amazing compared to the stock photos! Even more with brushed center links. The stock Rolex pics makes it look purplish, but the blue color is great!

Looks great either way. PCLs dress it up, BCLs dress it down.

Droool. Congrats. Wow, the watch looks even better with BCLs. I tried it on yesterday, its's amazing.
Can someone tell me how you would go about swapping out the bracelet for a BCL? I honestly, do not mind them, but I will admit the brushed looks a tad better. |

Well, it's not a debate because those with good taste prefer brushed

Can we call it something else, the bruiser name is a downer.
Maybe the Day-Night GMT Anyway, I'll be getting a Day-Night gmt soon, I plan to keep the PCLs. |

Brushed links all the way! Much better than the original bracelet. Anyway, I hope Rolex donīt change it, as the polished bracelets are making me save money keeping me away from the GMTs.

I like the darker color the polished links give to the steel and think it matches the black face better than the brushed center links.
I'd stay original on this one |
