It depends on which model we are talking about. On a SS Submariner, I prefer brushed. On the Datejust II, I prefer polished. Each model has its own unique character.

I like both. I find the brushed is easier to maintain.

brushy polished...
shiny brushed...
contrarian bracelet retrospective...

On a sports watch the best is brushed so you could easily touch it up with a pad.
On a dress watch the polished center links set it apart from others.
In extreme situations, rock climbing, deep scuba, heavy construction - Neither - Go NATO my friends.

The brushed hides the scratches better, IMO.

Depends on the watch. I like that my Daytona is polished and my SubC is brushed.

Brushed for me. The polished is to much jewelery for me, I want a man's tool watch, not bling.

PCLs for me.....

BTW...
To those who do not like PLCs and who strongly prefer the bushed center links of the SS sub over the PCLs of the SS GMT-II.....Do you also not like the PCLs of the WG blue sub?....just curious
