'Brushed' or 'Polished' finish

Anyone know what the reason for the 'finish' of the sides of stainless steel bracelets? :D

The Submariner [stainless steel] has 'brushed' finish yet the Seadweller has 'polished' finish.

Would have expected the Seadweller to have 'brushed' finish if the rationale was for a durable rugged finish that will survive diving in the sea.

Curiously enough the TT Submariner has 'polished' side links.

what did you polish it with? :p

Use Mothers aluminum polish, its the best stuff around it cleans the whole watch. But its kinda aggressive and after many times of polishing a brushed watch it will take the brush marks right out.

Rolex, for whatever reason, polishes the edges of some models but not others. I assume it gives the watch a more "dressy" look.

The rep makers follow suit.

I have to admit, I like the polished look, as I feel it mirrors how the case of the Sub is brushed on the top of the lugs, but polished on the sides. I guess that's why I never thought the sides of the bracelet should be brushed :lol:
