Posting this to help anyone who’s considering brushing their new PO. Interestingly if done carefully you can retain the polish on the top and bottom side of each center link so you still get a little of that light reflection without the whole thing being too blingy.

Bergeon medium scratch pad
Remove bracelet and do one half at a time by lying it on a flat surface so all links are completely flat then brush from bracelet towards end links (remove end links before brushing and brush separately).
Do clasp last and make sure scratch pad is wet the whole time. Took about half an hour.
If you’re not used to brushing test on an old clasp or something first, the trick is to not press hard and keep the pad straight as you run down the bracelet, for the clasp, lay the pad down and run the clasp along it.

👍Well done, and it can still be reversed if you want.
Or, if you’ve got the extra budget, you could pick up two bracelets - keep one OEM and have the other brushed. What’s another $800ish when you’re already spending $9k on the watch

No need to keep the other one. The modification from @Robbie68 looks much better, is more suitable for the toolwatch, at the same time maintaining just the right portion of "bling". Honestly, should be done this way straight from the factory. It looks coherent with watch itself, and not as a last minute donor part slapped from another watch.
