Bracelets: Any barked or modified to satin?

Was talking to my AD today, and we got to the subject of Rolex bracelets. I am a fan of the satin finish, a' la Explorer line. Said he can buff out any Rolex band to that finish, and has done so several times for customers. Barked them as well.

Without the "why would you do this?" responses, does anyone have pics of such customized examples they would like share? I know we have some "barked" fans on this forum. Thanks.

Sorry, wish I could offer some insight/help but I can't. However, just want to express my fondness for bark finished Rolex watches. =Mark=

I have seen one posted on here recently of a stainless GMT II that was "barked" (I believe it was on ebay), it didn't look so hot... It basically looked like someone let it run in a washing machine.
