Keyhole Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I have a pretty cheap Sub rep that I am making small improvements to. I was using a Scotch bright on the bracelet this weekend because the band was very shiny and did not resemble SS at all. I cannot find any pictures that show me for sure if the case on a gen Submariner is polished to a reflective finish or if it has a dull SS finish to it? Or are there different finishes on different parts? Like side of the crown guards is polished, but the top is dull... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rag9fx Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 hi Keyhole, on a SS Sub the sides , case back, and Cgs are polished ... rest of the case is brushed ... ( unless it is 5517 where the case is completely brushed with the execption of the case back) :-) Rag9fx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always remove those stickers at some point as they scream FakeFakeFake...So my subs are brushed under the sticker. Is this correct ? Band: I read somewhere on RWG that it was fully brushed but the sides of the links are supposed to be polished. Cheers & thanks, Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rag9fx Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 yes the centre of modern case backs are brushed ... sorry about that i was in vintage mode... the Cgs tend to be polished ( to a mirror finish) as are the case sides ... as for modern oyster bracelets ... i am not entirely sure what is accurate- i know on my gen Date Just that they are polished . sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many Oyster Bracelets...hard to say which one is supposed to be on a 16610. Anybody else an idea about that: should the sides of the links be brushed or polished on a 16610 bracelet ?
