Sure is, which is why I said 'IMO'

Honestly I'd say it looks better the factory way.

I've never understood the attraction to the Daytona. Polished surfaces everywhere making it illegible. A well executed brushed look would be great, please ignore the naysayers, as you know to a lot of RF' ers the only good Rolex is a factory original Rolex.

Having said that, I think you need to take that Cosmograph to a jeweller that is more... Hmm... competent in applying a brushed surface. Please add more pictures if you do take this route.

BTW, thanks for the pics.

Still can't believe someone actually posted not to go brushed because it might be confused with a fake; where is that shaking-my head smilie?

Sorry about the pic and thanks for the comments, the watch was kinda dirty and I do not wear it gingerly, it is a tool watch and knocked around a little since the brush job. I even wear it on a $10 NATO band sometimes. Maybe I should just go back to wearing my vintage ones, prefer the old tool watch look, but I do like this movement a lot.
