P_Diddy Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Anyone know what the reason for the 'finish' of the sides of stainless steel bracelets? 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. Comments ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Should it be brushed? I didn't know that One bracelet I received actually was brushed on the sides, so I polished it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEWLIO Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 what did you polish it with? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 what did you polish it with? I used one of those 4-texture nail files. It's not quite factory mirror polished, but certainly no longer brushed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
