路While I do like the fully brushed bracelet, the case itself does not match such a bracelet unfortunately, from my perspective. The reason why the center link is brushed at the moment, I assume, is because the top of the lugs is polished. On Rolex cases, the top of the lugs is brushed, vs the sides, so the bracelet being entirely brushed is more coherent.
So on those pictures of the brushed center link bracelet, the polished top lugs on the cases seem mismatched.

路and Vader has sealed the deal haha, brushed it is. So a local watch guy just said it was 100, but the guy working said he could probably make it 75. Should i find a better price, or try this scotch brite method? I wouldn't want to mess it up
Make sure you only brush the bracelet up and down and not side to side and it'll turn out just fine.

路Hi brophy77
What's your plan now after listening to advices from like...
.....one third of the world's population ...?
p/s Are you Irish btw coz brophy is an Irish surname
Irish men are among the sexiest in the world with rugged good looks , sexy accent ,passionate bout music ,woman & stuff....
but fixing things is NOT Irish...so brophy my advise:
If you have Irish blood &
If it ain't broke.......don't fix it !

路As the title states! I love the watch, and am perfectly fine with the current polished centre links (PCL's), however I've heard good things about getting them brushed, and i could potentially like them even more than the PCL's, just haven't seen any in the flesh yet. So i am wondering if people have any pictures or thoughts on getting them brushed?
I would say why???? If ain't broked don't fix it.

路I am indeed of Irish extraction, and it is currently in the shop being brushed 馃槈 They actually have a new limited edition 300 there (which is odd) so I checked out the band and it looks great. I've got a couple events coming up where I'd like to wear the watch, but have it be a little more... discreet.

路I thought it had to much going on with the PCLs. Yes the top of the lugs are polished but the outer links of the bracelet are brushed. So from lug to lug it goes polished, brushed, polished, brushed, polished. I got my bracelet brushed. Happy I did. Imo, it looks much more coherent now.
You're correct and everyone who disagrees with us is wrong.

路Has anyone brushed both the polished surface of the lugs as well as their bracelet? Have the bracelet brushers ever felt this was required?

路Buy a second one. Then you'll have both. See what you like. Don't you just love monetary solutions to problems when it's not you spending the money?

路Hi,
I have owned the Seamaster 300 for about a year and asked the dealer I bought it from to have the center links brushed. I have never regreted the decision as I love the look of the brushed bracelet. Here are some photos of my watch:

路I brushed my bracelet when I had a 300 MC and much preferred it that way. I had tried brushing the bracelet on my Oris Aquis before with a scotch pad and didn鈥檛 really like the way it turned out, so I splurged $30 to have it done professionally. Looked awesome.
NATO is cool too.

路Tried on the watch the other day at the boutique. Thinking that it'll probably be my next Omega. Love how the dial looks. I'll probably be in the same dilemma about brushed or PCL when I do get it. Imo, the PCL looks ok on the Aqua Terra, but it looks out of place on this diver.
