I know it’s the whole point (and I think this is a great watch), but it’s just so dull with all the matte finishes. It needs a little shine.

Disagree. I was very tempted to go the @TheFoo route and have the middle link brushed. But since my Explorer II’s oyster already has a brushed center link I opted not to.

Wow, really? I love the Tudor's role as tool watch. Too much shine would attract barracuda in the water or the Taliban on land. Love it as is.

My new one slot. Actually I’ll probably keep both watches as one is destined to be stolen or broken.

It's titanium and meant to be a tool watch with no bling. That said, I'm sure part of the reason for not a bit of shine anywhere is to distinguish it from the sub.

Sorry, not really. I’m simply upgrading my one slot (travel watch that I don’t mind if it gets stolen/broken). That slot is currently filled by:

Why do you store your watches in your mailbpx?

Where would you suggest I store a watch that was purchased to eventually be stolen?

Brushed links on this would look great because you still have the shine from the dial and bezel.

And I totally get the point of the Pelagos. I just need a little sparkle personally.

Two-tone and Richemont trash? Listen buddy, I could have accepted maybe just one of them, but two at once is just too much. You're done, get outta here.

I agree. If I didn’t have the Explorer II, I‘d brush the middle links of the GMT II.
