Is it ok if the Rolex bracelet is differently brushed?

Fresh brushing is always going to look different to a well worn bracelet, the first time i got my 14060M rebrushed it looked so odd at first

i think this is nothing more than a lighting trick.

There seems to be a lot of this going around lately. First the guy with the too-perfect LEC, now this. If you get it from an AD, I don't know what else to tell you. I'd be hard-pressed to believe that somehow through the production & shipping process, someone compromised the integrity of a brand-new watch.

Probably from people who can't really afford the watch and tend to over-scrutinize because they have buyer's remorse and are unhappy that they just dropped a lot of money on the watch.

It happens... I guess that this purchase may be the OP's first large cash purchase & one that has so much hype/gravitas surrounding it. I was more excited for my Smurf that I was for my condo To that end, larger purchases than a watch often involve financing, which is largely paperwork without you seeing a (relatively) huge sum of money leave your account all at once. One swipe of a credit card or one bank transfer is a big *gulp* moment for many. As I've said earlier, if your luxury purchase impacts your life at all (financially or mentally), now is not the right time. I also think that we've been conditioned to think that these tools are perfect, which is an impossibility in the natural world. Any deviation from airbrushed photos or the image we had of it in our head can give someone pause or invite more questions/second-guessing.

OP, I would suggest you get a bench grinder, put a cotton wheel on, and polish the bracelet to your heart's content. Polish it long and hard, until you can see the mirror image of you and your magnifying glass perfectly reflecting on the bracelet. When you have done that, you will no longer have texture issues.

Guys you all are pricks. Enjoy!

I will be honest. Got the watch 2 weeks ago and wanted to clean it, used the wrong cloth (polishing jewellery one) , to clean the crown on the clasp. Now worried if I polished the brushing as the part around the crown is brighter that other parts of the clasp. Was it hard to be nice ? No.
