Rolex Clasp Buckle Brushed?

Morning guys and gals,

Is the coronet on a Rolex steel sports bracelet buckle come brushed out of the factory? I've seen different images online where the coronet appears to be untouched, and others where the metal on the brush marks bracelet links match the brush marks on the buckle coronet.

I've uploaded a couple google images to show what I'm trying to describe. The differences might just be in the lighting.

I know I'm overly pedantic about things

The first image is of a clasp that has been polished I think.
The coronet too tips should be polished not brushed.

Would is depend on the bracelet reference? Both images above are 93150 (501B endlinks).

Never thought to look but... I have an unpolished bracelet (93150) and it appears the clasp is brushed but the crown is not.

Thanks, man. I might be letting perfect be the enemy of good on this one.

if you wear it, it’s going to become brushed overtime
