    The bracelet of the new version of the sapphire moonwatch has polished small center links on external side ... but brushed on internal side.

    So if you prefer the full brushed version, just assembly the links on the other side with the clasp and the end links

    Small issue: you will have a stamped marking (barely) visible on one of the center link

    But the end link still has the polished part, and the numbers on the link would drive me crazy. Close, but no cigar for me.

    You are very clever.
    That's great. Makes me wish my brushed bracelet had a polished underside.
    It would be cool to have a bracelet designed to be flipped. Brushed/Polished.

    Surely you can just buy a replacement link from the Hesalite version to replace the Sapphire part with the number on it

    Since this link has no screws, I am not sure if it is possible to take it apart.

    If so, it would simply need to turn it back ;)

    Though then you'd have one single polished link, which might also be a little strange.

    Anyway, fun idea!

    Right ! It would also require to take apart the center link from the external links to turn it only .

    You could potentially brush finish the part numbers off. Then you would also have to buy the endlinks from the hesalite version.

    I tried on the sapphire version today at a local dealer. I, too, do not care for the polished version of the bracelet, and they recommended reversing it. But this post was very helpful, I don't think I would bother given the endlinks and the visible marking.

    Looks good. My eyes are so bad I would need a lighted magnifying glass to see those numbers

    Just use a silver sharpie on the numbered link. I'm sure that will work fine. :)
