Polished X Metals

[QLR1]

I had no idea how much feelings this would stir up. Good to see all of you engaged.

on a side not I absolutely was blown away that you guys finally got LeQ into some skull crushers

Lol... I'm still blown away.

A few reasons:
1. Flash, dog
2. Hammerstems, dog
3. On some level, we all new one day Deep Water Prizm would be custom cut to fit them. (Pure sexy)
4. Something else for my wife to roll her eyes at.

Agree it's just a preference, YMMV. Personally, plasma was always my favorite x-metal frame finish with its muted shine and when I got my first polished I thought they were too flashy. But I wore them a little bit and quickly fell in love. These days, it's hard to say what my favorite finish is, but I do like the polished...

I think to an extent the personality type that likes X-Metals is going to be inclined to like something like Polished finishes already. Why? They're X-Metals so they stand out, they look different, they're somewhat non conformist and "look at me" and the people that wear them know that. So...along those lines something flashy like Polished isn't really a surprise. And if you look at some of these responses you see other things that support this theory---some of the guys drive muscle cars (and bright ones at that) so again, there's that trend where X-Metalmen may already be inclined to be more standoutish in nature.

I'm a case in point in already being the type that stands out and wants to as much as possible: 6 foot 5-230 lbs, drive a white Shelby with blue racing stripes and a (blatantly illegal) exhaust you can hear a mile away and throw ridiculously colorful/bright sneakers on size 16 feet and pair them with equally bright shirts and huge (52mm and up) watches. So seeing me in what I wore today (Juliet Polished and Fire with White rubber just to up the brightness ante even more) kind of just goes with the whole thing.

I love all of the X Metals in different finishes. It just depends on what I feel like wearing on that particular day. This basically wraps up how I feel about polished...

I think polished Is great if you match your clothing with it.

I dunno I like to dress polished and blue together

I think polished matches any color, though maybe not all styles of clothing. Well, maybe any style. Heck, I'd wear a polished X-Metal with a tux, maybe that's just me.

Damn. I need to get out of this thread before I start hunting for nice shiny things!

Nope. Just stay put.

Yes - my Invictas are 52-58mm

Can't stand wearing watches that look
Like they were purchased from the children's department...

Most of my watches weigh a pound or more...
