I can't believe I forgot that I bought my wife a Rolex Datejust with a polished case and brushed bracelet (w/polished center links). I was told that the Breitling brushed bracelet has polished side links like the Rolex pictured here so it would kind of look like this. Actually it kinda of looks nice. The GMT polished rider tabs and the polished case combined with the brushed bezel and a brushed bracelet would make it very unique---it would be my own Limited Edition! Leaning towards this combo now. :thumbsup:

I'm on the fence. The brushed pilot bracelet is sweet , but does it really fit with the polished case and lugs? If that entire watch was brushed it would be awesome looking IMO


I agree all brushed. No mixing polished and brushed.

Cheers.

My Datejust 2 has the same set up with the polished lugs and brushed outer links but I think it works on there since it has the polished center links.

I was never a fan of PCLs because they are scratch magnets. That's why I ended up with a Rolex sub.

I liked them but also liked my Sub. Of course both are long gone now to other homes.

I pulled the trigger and bought the brushed pilot bracelet today. The NYC Boutique is getting it shipped from BUSA so I should have it by next Monday or Tuesday. It really looks unique and makes the brushed bezel really stand out. The bracelet has polished side links which match nicely with the polished lugs. There is even a cool polished/brushed design on the clasp. This is the same bracelet sold with with the Flying Fish. Thank you everyone for your input. This forum really is an awesome resource for Breitling owners. Cheers and happy weekend!
