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.
