Bracelet centre links
Polished centre links like them or loath them?.
They do seem to be a scratch magnet.

Re: Bracelet centre links
I'm not keen on them at all.
I just don't see the point of them.

Re: Bracelet centre links
I like them, on the right watch.
I think it depends on the watch and how the rest of the case is finished. For example, on the GMT-Master I think they look good, but on a Black Bay, they would not.

Re: Bracelet centre links
Generally speaking my preference is for brushed. It's a rare watch where I think that polished centre links look better, but there are quite a few where they look good enough to buy regardless of my preference.
Now if the question was cyclops lenses, that is definitely enough to put me off buying one!

Re: Bracelet centre links
I prefer brushed links on the Trident bracelet, personally I think polished links on this watch looks tacky!

Re: Bracelet centre links
I agree with Richard, on the right watch PCL's are perfect.
We all have different tastes though
On my C60 Trident MK1, I think the PCL's suit the watch due to the case.
The fully brushed bracelet on my C65 works as all of the watch is brushed.

Re: Bracelet centre links
Prefer brushed but then again on a C700 I think they are better polished to match the case.

Depends on the watch and the finish on the case.

I'm not a fan of mixing metal finishes or metal colours, looks very tacky..

Re: Bracelet centre links
Not only polished center links but fully polished bracelets as well they look great. Don't understand where the scratch magnet bit comes on as I don't have that problem.

Re: Bracelet centre links
I had PCL on my Rolex GMT & hated them, after a year of ownership they looked absolutely awful like the watch had been really abused, which I must add it hadn't.
I ended up trading the watch, mainly because of this for a Sub with brushed links & can honestly say it still looks like new after 4 years.
So not for me ever again!!

Re: Bracelet centre links
Brushed not polished for the C60. I hope a Mk 2.5 updates and changes this. Seems like with the crazy amount of options available now (gold hands, white dials with green bezels, etc.) and with them already having a C65 brushed bracelet that this would be a no brainer, just polish the lugs and the case-back.

Re: Bracelet centre links
Not a big fan of the polished links on my C61, although I have sort of 'got used' to them in a way . Think I may change to a leather strap though.

Re: Bracelet centre links
I've never thought about it until I got a brushed bracelet for my Orient Mako and it looks brilliant.
Does anyone know anyone in the UK who could be trusted to brush the centre links on a C60 GMT bracelet and the likely cost.
