You'd still be stuck with polished endlinks and clasp.
If you REALLY want the brushed look, get the bracelet brushed. Much simpler than reversing every link, and also don't end up with the bracelet codes on the outside

Hi All, Since the Navi bracelet is very blingy, I am wondering if anyone thought about (or did) reversing the bracelet to wear the inside matt outside? I really like the feel of the bracelet but do not like the look as it is too shiny for me. This is probably a weird question and I am wondering about oppinions. Thank you. |

Yes, i thought about both: end up with polished endlinks and codes visible or get the bracelet brushed altogether. I wish Breitling would offer an option of less shiny bracelets. Sent from my Nexus 7 |

A brushed version of the bracelet already exists, if you can find one. My chronomatic 24h came with one. |

And the Navi 50th edition came with a brushed one as well I believe. You can always have the bracelet brushed by a jeweler. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk |

Navi Fighters also had a brushed bracelet |

Thanks guys. I will have to do more research to see if I can find one. I am not sure if brushing through jeweler is a good idea. Doesn't that destroy the protective coating and might leave room for rust? Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk |

It's stainless steel, it's not going to rust. And to the best of my knowledge it doesn't have a 'protective coating'. |

As I mentioned in another thread, having an all polished case and all brushed bracelet would look odd? I suppose you could brush the top edge of the case lugs but that would devalue the watch |

All things considered, I will just sell the bracelet. Any tempering will just not look right. Thank you all for your oppinions! |
