Explorer 2 polished bezel and centre links?

Is it possible to polish explorer 2 bezel instead of brushed bezel and also make the centre links polished? I don't think I would do it, just wondering really would have to see what it would look like if possible. Can anyone create a picture with these done? Opinions on whether it would look good? I know the whole reason behind explorer 2 is rugged so no need I am purely imagining

I'm sure it's possible, and I'm also sure it would look terrible.

High polish bezel has been done with a horrible result. Why on earth would anybody do that? The bling version is readily available anyway, its called GMT2-c

this made me laugh more than it should of I wasn't really planning on doing it. I did want to see a picture of what it would look like. I love the all brushed steel look I just sometimes want a bit more from it. That is why we have subs and gmts though I suppose

I suppose it's also possible to hammer stamp it and make it look like Navajo jewelry.
