Royal Oak Offshore Bracelet - Opinions and Advice?

Hi All,

I recently purchased a circa 2006 25721ST from a reputable dealer. Very happy with the watch however I did notice something the other day. The polishing on the first link that attaches to the case is not symmetrical with the other side, (i.e one side appears more polished than the other). To my understanding the watch has been serviced twice by AP and has not been touched by a 3rd party (the case work is very good, in general everything is good, all the lines and angles retained).

This made me think however, is the offhshore bracelet more handfinished than a normal royal oak bracelet, (where the polished edge is a uniform angle and done to the whole bracelet) compared to the offshore which is potentially done link by link to create the 'rainbow' shape on each link?

I'm in two minds now, I still have a week where I can return it if I want to. Do you think the bracelet can be polished so that it is at least more even on all sides? Appreciate this is a level of OCD many don't have but these thing frustratingly do bug me especially on watches that are not cheap.
