Brushed bracelet - is inside of links finished same as outside?

[MMPutnam]

On my (new to me) 14060m I've been wondering if the bracelet has been brushed/touched up. I assume it has due to age and how clean it is overall. I'm not worried that it may have been "polished" - I think that's the term used here on the forum for a brushed bracelet that's been brushed - but am simply curious.
I looked at the inside of the links and they show consistent grain from the (I assume) factory finish whereas the outside of the links are a bit more hazy. The brush marks look lighter/fainter.

So 2 questions:
1. Is the brushing on the inside and outside of a new bracelet the same?
2. (Only I can answer I guess) Should I try brushing mine with Scotchbrite to get that same grainy finish? I suspect I'll wait until it needs some cleanup overall and then decide.
3. (I know I said 2 but...) I've read about the brushing removing metal. While I believe that, I'd think a minimal brushing with Scotchbrite (I've seen it said a couple times now that 4-5 passes will do it) could not remove much metal. I'd be surprised if that amount could even be measured. Thoughts? Now the resulting rounding/softening of the edges...well lets not even go down that path for now - I'm already pushing the OCD limit.

And I love pics - so here are a couple of my bracelet - outside and inside. iPhone so not sure they'll show well.
Tech item - I'm uploading from iPad and appears all files from library come over with same name (so can't upload 2). If anyone can help with that please do tell.

Couldn't get second image on first post.

They were the same finish when it left Geneva. I wouldn't worry about it until it needs cleaned up worse than that.

Just speaking for myself, but I couldn't care less about the inside...as for the outside, I wouldn't worry about it just yet.

Looks fine

The inside may look/be different because it is in constant contact with the skin which could smooth it a bit over time.

The brushing pattern should have the same kind of look originally.
But don't forget that the links are a little bit curved and therefore the inside of the links can have a slightly different look than the outside of the links because of different angels of light.
