Full polish gold oyster bracelet
This looks like a full polish gold oyster bracelet on the Rolex website. Ideas on which watch this belongs to?

Possibly an unfinished bracelet?
Not sure the order in which they finish the bracelet but maybe it's easier to polish the entire surface then add the brushed finished where desired? No clue, just a thought. |

Bracelets are completely polished before the sides are brushed.
Even when polishing during a service the brushed bits are not covered, they get pretty shiny before they're brushed. |

So now we know how you do that great work... ...from the tower of Rolex power and center of all pure truth... “Concentration is absolute. The eye is focused. His posture is set, the grip on the middle case is firm. Steadiness and strength of hand are essential as the Oyster case is brought against the lathe’s spinning buff wheel. The gestures are curt, sharp and precise, yet subtle, as the case glides and switches through different positions. In seconds, seemingly in a blur, the lightly matt surfaces have gained an even shine, completing one of the final stages of the finishing polish that create a high-quality sheen.“ Golly buddy, you guys are veritable Gods of buffing and brushing...

If a customer requests "no polish" at your RSC, do you all comply with the request?

Interesting. It makes sense to keep everything even and start again with a fresh canvas. Not for my watches though. I don't want a fresh canvas putting on mine. It appears I'm not alone.

Not the bracelet in the picture, but the Pearlmaster does have a fully polished bracelet. Believe it is the only Rolex with one...
