Several years ago I wanted to brush the PCLs on a new GMTII I had. I called Dallas RSC first. The representative I spoke with insisted this would "ruin the watch" and I was a fool to even consider it. As for service, she said they would restore the PCLs unless I specified not to. I had it brushed by an AD, was quite pleased with the look, but as it turned out, never needed to have it serviced before selling it a year later.
