Wear it polished until it gets sufficiently scratched and then try brushing?

Now the question: to brush or not to brush the center link?
I do love the overall look of the watch and to my surprise I kind like the polished links but since a member mentioned the idea of brushing the shiny link I found myself toying with this idea.
What do you think of this suggestion? If I brush them how about the shinny angles of the case? Something tells me that if I brush the shinny link I better to the same with the shiny case as well in order to have a 'coherent ' look, more foolish vibe.
Iam curious to read your opinions.

I don't know, if you have an extra $1,000 laying around maybe you can be the lab rat? Brush one bracelet, if you don't like it, pick up a second one from Omega, all in the name of science!

I can see a Nato strap potentially offsetting some of the angularity of the watch. Will have to check it out in person.

The NATO strap option makes me wonder how the case-back will hold up. It's apparently solid titanium, so softer and more prone to scratches than steel and the shape of it results in the edges protruding a bit. That said, they do make a Planet Ocean ultra-thin in titanium on NATO so I guess they're confident that their straps won't do any harm to it over time.
