Submariner LV Bracelet Question ...

Greetings! Sorry for the stupid question but I wanted to know if the edges of the braclet for an LV Submariner (stainless bezel) are supposed to be polished or brushed. I think the photo below might help (a picture is worth 1000 words).

Thanks,

Jonathan.

Mine is brushed. Thought all Sub bracelets are brushed except for the sides of the clasp...

The aluminum bezel insert (16610 LV) is brushed, I believe the ceramic version (116610 LV) is polished.
