Looking for advice/opinions!

[lords]

I have just purchased a Rolex 116000 in steel with a steel face. I chose this colour combination as I wanted to keep my watch as low key as possible.

The advice/opinions I am looking for, is what people think about finishing the mid links to a high polish finish? Do people feel this would ruin the watch? It is currently just a flat 3 piece all brushed however I would be looking at getting it finished like a milgauss

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, why not. I think the PCL's would go well with the polished smooth bezel. And if you don't like it you can always brush it back.

Do let us see a pic if you end up doing it. Or even if you don't . . . ;-)

Won't ruin it. Can go back to factory very easy. Low key is not pcls

Please find attached, a photo in its current condition :)

Congratulations! I love the colour. Great choice. I would leave as-is.

I think it would look great with PCL's.

But then your watch wouldn't be as low key as possible.

I think polishing the centre links will be a nice improvement.
It's a nice watch but doesn't 'pop's polishing the centre links would probably finish it really well and would match the bezel.
Nice idea, well done

Congrats!

Well, that is a fab looking watch.

Personally would consider polishing the centre links. But then again, I am biased as I have a 116200 that comes with PCL and smooth bezel . . .

Thanks all for opinions!
It's my first Rolex so I'm not to fussed about whether it ruins its resale value or whatever!

I'm in two minds as I also own an F1 with brushed links and they are scratched and I couldn't imagine high polish links to look all that nice with scratches in!

I was quoted a price of £150 from a AR to complete the polishing including clasp and lug links
