Nice watch but just not a fan of brushed surfaces - so much so I had my Headwind bezel polished after a year of it slightly annoying me! But dont go on anyone else's opinion but your own - you're the one who will be looking at it the most - Go find one in a an AD and then you'll know for sure

I'm not planning to buy it and there's no option to buy a brushed Evo, they are all polished.
This one was brushed aftermarket.
Just wanted to hear some opinions about it, thanks anyway. :D

The watch is gorgeous... but it just seems like a travesty to have that beautiful Pilot Bracelet in anything but high polish SS. For me, this is the classic Breitling watch/bracelet combo, it just seems wrong to have it brushed.

Interesting. I don't mind it, but I think it needs some polished surfaces to break up all that brushed area. As Robertus61 suggested, alternating brushed and polished surfaces can look really good.

For me the thing that sets Breitling bracelets (Navi & Pilots especially) apart from the multitude of other bracelets out there from other watch makers is the polished finish. I do like the look of the brushed chronomat but I still much prefer these polished.
