126710 meets 97200
Got a NOS discontinued Rolex 97200 bracelet and put it on my 126710BLRO. Put some gaffers tape around the thinner spring bars and bam. Perfection. I considered sending my 78200 bracelet to get brushed but I still wanted glidelock. ...
That does look great.
You did that all on your own? I’m impressed, great work. But why aren’t people fans of the PCLs on the bracelet?
It’s a tool watch.
I just hate PCL’s always have. When they’re all scratched up it’s fine but I still think it makes GMT’s too dressy. On gold pieces or Sky Dweller, Datejust I don’t mind. ...
Yes, I get your point now. The brushed look really does work nicely.
And I’m guessing you prefer oyster to jubilee for a similar ‘tool’ reasoning.
Ah, so this gives you options to change as the mood strikes you.
Is it easy to change the bracelets yourself? Clearly you’re experienced, so when I say easy then I mean compared to a Panerai for example.
I just use a bergeon 7825
bergeon 7825 and some tape and it takes a few minutes easy. No scratches on either side of lugs etc.
Really?? I don’t know why I always thought it needed a special tool.
That is very reasonable to try then. I just never looked. Thanks for explaining.
Great work and description
We're in the same boat, I have a PCL sent to brush finish recently, waiting to get it back.
Interesting. Rolex doesn’t offer this as a service, does it?
Or does one have a jeweler to do it? Thanks.
If you want it done
LAWW You can ask RSC but idk. Rolex refinishing isn’t very good.
That's what I would do too!
Want a dress watch, buy one! They should make the same with the Daytonas...
Why not…actually the case could be made that that is more appropriate compared to the bracelet with PCL.
Just as the jubilee goes with the GMT tool watches, it can also reasonably go with the Daytona tool watch. Especially with the black dial version that could be a very nice look. 🤔
You need ot use spring bars that come with the 116710 or 126710. they are thinner
to use the sub bracelets
