Polished to Brushed Bracelet?

Anyone know of watch repair services, or if it is even possible, to have a one of the new Oyster Bracelets with the polished center links - have the cernter links unpolished and brushed finished like original Oyster bracelets?

Chad, you can do the same thing yourself with one of these and a few minutes practice:

Chad I have removed scratches and smoothed out brushed steel with a Cape Cod cloth. You have to be careful, I taped off the areas of the watch (brushed steel) that I did not want smoothed out because you can take the brushed steel look off with these cloths. You can buy them on the net or at ace hardware.

I like the look of the polished center link. Would you be able to use this to really polish the center? Would it look as good as the factory links?
