I like both, meaning I'm not polishing my Rolex because it has brushed center links, or vice versa. No one loves to scratch their watch but I got indoctrinated early when my friend scratched my first watch, a date Sub, before I ever wore it, by using a push pin to adjust the clasp. It slipped and boom!
Actually, my indoctrination came much earlier when I was a kid. My uncle had this beautiful gold DD that I kept staring at. It was stunning. He asked my if I'd like to try it on. When he put it on my wrist and I examined it closely all of a sudden it seemed beat up, scratches here and there. But when I gave it back to him and he put it on, like magic it looked gorgeous and pristine again.
That's when I realized they are only really noticeable when examined closely and on static display. But when sitting on the wrist of another living person scratches are pretty much invisible.
