That's exactly how the Omega bracelet looks. Even when it gets all scratched up you can clearly see the difference between the brushed and polished sections of the bracelet. I had no idea the brushed finish on the Breitling could deteriorate that badly, let alone in such a short period of time. I'm happy to say you won't have that problem with the Omega bracelet. After years of normal wear my brushed sections show many scratches, but in no way do they look polished.
