I was going to ask you about that as I noticed it was polished. Must be interesting in person. I think of Breitling when it comes to sporty polished watches. I know someone who polished his IWC Aquatimer and it was like a whole different watch.

Subs are the most common rolex. This just makes it not as commom

I got tired of having the band brushed from desk diving.

Touching up a brushed finish is quite easy. There's a tool that looks like a pencil eraser that fixes the brused finish.

When a watch has a mix of polish and brushing you have to be careful.

That is the pain in the rear with my Concord Saratoga.
It has both polished and brushed on the stainless part.
The 18 Kt is all polished.
It is an awesome and comfortable watch but I rarely wear it.

Here is what that one looks like:
