Yes, it's possible.

Quick backstory: I've never really been a PCL guy, but I've always admired them. With the Daytona, BLNR and now SKY-D I have more PCL watches than brushed lol.

My LVC is my oldest and probably most sentimentally important watch to me, however it's probably been my least worn watch in the past year or two. It's undoubtedly special in every regard, but I've just been too excited about other more recent incomings.

Anyhow, this morning I woke up and thought, A. Let's see if this is possible, and B. it might breath some new life into the watch for me.

So here it is. LVC with PCLs and BLNR with Brushed Oyster Bracelet. FUN!

(Oh it's a Barbour Deus Ex Machina Motorcyle Jacket if anyone was wondering)

Stunning pictures as always Chadri

I actually prefer them this way around. The LV is quite "blingy" to me with the sunburst dial and the PCLs suit it better than the BLNR IMHO

Thanks Scott!

I can't comment on my preference yet, but I can tell you it looks great in person and feels totally natural. Doesn't feel like a "forced look" if that makes sense.

agree 100%

I love the BLNR with the brushed bracelet! Wish it came this way.

gt0279a · 7 November 2018, 02:46 AM

Great photos.

I've always felt the PCLs work best if the lugs are polished like on the Daytona.

SamP · 7 November 2018, 02:47 AM

Quality pics!

Stig722 · 7 November 2018, 02:51 AM

I wish the GMT2 came with a brushed bracelet looks incredible

KBM · 7 November 2018, 02:56 AM

Looking good, buddy. That brushed oyster bracelet + glidelock on a ss blro would be perfection.

Glidelock on SSBLRO. Oh yeah., Perfection is no exaggeration.

Agreed. It'd be incredible. Still haven't seen a SS BLRO in person yet. I hope to own one soon.

I am liking that Sub with the PCL’s!

X1000. PCL with the sunburst dial ups the wow factor significantly on the LVc. Stunning. As much as I know all brushed hides scratches, its a bit boring and doesnt "pop" like the pcl. I struggled with this truth owning a all brushed SS LVc.

zjd168 · 7 November 2018, 03:11 AM

looks cool

mistercoach32 · 7 November 2018, 03:42 AM

I purchased a 97200 exclusively for my BLNR. The PCL’s never grew on me either. Love the. LNR with brushed and GlideLock.

Thanks, man. I’m a big fan of it.

Brian Page · 7 November 2018, 03:58 AM

I think this is a great way to go for both models. Totally makes sense to me!

RRKnight · 7 November 2018, 04:31 AM

Damn that looks good! The hulk works with PCL because of the sunburst dial like the bluesy

Rolex addict · 7 November 2018, 04:43 AM

My LVc has had PCL's from day 1. It's a great look!!

That’s right! Did you polish the sub bracelet or buy a different one?

It was the sub bracelet. I bought the LVc and told the AD to polish the center links and call when it was ready. It would be really nice to have that LVc in white gold like the Smurf.

Agreed! Would be so cool. Although yellow gold and green go pretty well too. Someone did a mock up a while back. Looked awesome imo.

RRKnight · 7 November 2018, 05:29 AM

Wow I liked it so much I did it too!

brigadoonb · 7 November 2018, 07:01 AM

I like what you did.....and I cant wait to do it myself if I ever get my calls from my AD.

outtatime · 7 November 2018, 07:12 AM

Love it. Just wish the BLNR bracelet had the Submariner clasp.

dcash0615 · 7 November 2018, 07:20 AM

Very nice.

arguetaoscar · 7 November 2018, 07:14 AM

Seen the blnr with brushes many times (and not impressed) but the LV with pcl is a first for me. I gotta say, it looks better than I thought! Or maybe your photos are just very convincing!

Rolex Essex · 7 November 2018, 07:20 AM

Quality photos.
Rolex should hire you to do their catalog photography.
