TN brushed vs blasted

[dukerules]

Ben sent me a TN with the 156 I bought, and I'm a convert. I want to buy a full set of 20mm TNs. Debating between brushed and blasted. Does anyone have a pic comparing the hardware between the two?

Brushed is slightly thinner hardware. Whether the watch I have it one is brushed, blasted, or Ti - I prefer the slightly larger blasted hardware

I have both and really can't see any difference in thickness of metal.

Since the 156 is blasted, I'd go with blasted hardware. It matches my EZM perfectly.

I posted some in this thread.

agreed.
anything blasted or ti will work perfect with the blasted finish.
brushed is perfect for anything with dual finish, i.e., oyster cases with both brushed and polished finishes.
if the watch is all polished you probably want a nice croc, or settle for a nato with polished hw if you must.

Mark did a great comparison
