Jubilee Bracelet Question

Hi guys was wondering if the jubilee bracelet was ever sold with brushed centre links , (fully brushed like the older oyster bracelet ) or they always came with the centre links polished ? Talking about the SS version of the jubilee specifically.
Would love to see a few pictures if it existed in the past . Thanks

Polished only I think, don’t think I’ve ever seen a brushed jubilee.

The center links on my 1977 Datejust were polished. I've never seen a Jubilee any other way.

makes sense as the jubilee was designed to be a 'dressier' bracelet and the Oyster originally designed with utility in mind (the older Oyster bracelets were all brushed i believe.)

Didn't the 6542 come on a brushed Jubilee?

Nothing that I've seen through these years, so I would say no, they're all polished from factory.
