You mean those polished stripes on the bracelet?
My watch doesn't have any "sharp edges" and they're not "coated". They're part of the bracelet and they're polished steel, just like they should be. My bracelet doesn't have screws, either. Wonder when these changes have been implemented to the SMP rep?
If you lose some of the "coating" (I doubt it's coated) you can put brushed / polished finish back to your watch yourself.
