GMT Master 2 W/out polished SS bracelet?

[socialpro]

Are there any versions of the GMT master 2 with a bracelet that contains no polished SS middle link? Like the watch but not a fan of the polished ss!

Not looking for gold or any other variations - just the bracelet entirely in brushed SS.

If you're speaking of the modern GMT 2c, then no.

But, you can have the PCL's brushed by any competent watchmaker if it's that big of a deal.

Not with the current line up. You would either have to go with an older 5 digit reference or have them brushed yourself. Be sure that someone who knows what they are doing does it.

Not sold with it but you can brush it

I had ABC Watchwerks refinish a bracelet for me. I did the opposite and had the center links polished. They did a fantastic job at a decent price and fast turnaround.

Yes, the 16710, but they stopped producing it in 2007. Comes with blue/red, black/wine, and all black bezel options. Plenty of nice pre-owned examples available.

I've often toyed with the idea of brushing the PCL on the 116718

I was a little hesitant to brush the PCLs on my 116710 but don't think I would even consider doing that to a PM.

It's easy enough to reverse (minus a little material loss). Even on PM models, the brushed surfaces are much more resistant to scratches than polished. Perhaps even more so for gold. I should mention that I love PCLs... just curious what it would look like.

The best option is to replace the bracelet with a brushed bracelet with a glidelock clasp. How much would that cost?

Wouldn’t changing the PCL bracelet to a brush finish change the value of the watch?

Many experiment by putting the Sub bracelet on the GMT for the brushed look. However brushing a PCL shouldn't affect the value as it's easily reversed.
