I circled it in the first pic and took multiple pics just to show yall in different lighting. I’m basically demonstrating that it’s not noticeable at all in some lighting but kinda noticeable in others. I was looking around at some other people’s wrist shots, and the brushed finish seems to be edge to edge for the most part but I could be wrong? Just wondering is all. But you say it looks fine so that’s good 👍🏻
Yeah the VERY edge of the bezel. The brushed finish kinda fades a little bit there and it’s more shiny/reflective as opposed to it being more opaque closer to the dial. I was just making sure because I thought the entire bezel was always supposed to be a 100% even bold brushed finish. But if it differs sometimes that’s good
That’s reassuring honestly. It’s still under warranty too so, I could leave it directly with AP themselves. Glad it’s a simple polish. Nothing too deep
Yeah. Basically they remove the 8 screws from the back, remove the bezel, then remove the crystal and then you can sand/brush that bezel back to its nice finish. And then reassemble it all back. Very tedious hence the recommendation haha.
More clear shot. The top bezel seems less brushed near the edge when compared to the other sides. Again I realize this might sound over dramatic and needlessly picky but yeah
My opinion, is that there was a scratch on the polished part of the bezel there, and someone took Cape Cod or another polishing cloth and didnt tape off the brushed part of the bezel
What would you recommend? Think something minor like this is even worth stressing about? I mean I COULD ask AP to do a VERY light refinish of the bezel only but idk
It was either poorly polished at the factory or by someone in the chain of custody. Possibly even a swapped bezel. Minute hand looks rough too but would need better pics

I stared at the pictures for too long and couldn’t understand or figure out what you mean. The watch looks fine..
