I can't tell you anything about the bezel, on the black one it's already brushed and I didn't feel the need to do anything there. For the bracelet - I disassembled the bracelet, which is quite easy on this one, and dragged the polished parts across scotch brite in straigh lines for about 10 times on each side. That's it. It's no rocket science and if you screw up, you are probably always able to fix it again. For trying it you can also take a spare link first.

I have this blue dial version by MKS factory. I'm thinking to add prof crystal as I get lot of reflection. Do anyone of think it is worth? I would rather do it only underside - does anyone do that? in CONUS?

Looks fantastic. Does the black dial look dark grey/slightly grainy in strong light like the gen does?
