As shown on my previous thread i just bought a chronomat flying fish. It has the rubber strap. Does anyone here have pics of the same watch on the alligator or calf strap. If so can you pls post the pics as i am thinking about getting the gator strap and they are pricey. Also has anyone polished the brushed case that they can post the pics. thank u very much in advance

Not a Flying Fish but this is as close as it gets in my collection to give you some idea, similar color dial, brished finish, etc...
No, I would not consider polishing mine. That is what maks it special ;-)

Lol. I knew it was the LE, if it looks big on your wrist then it's only in your head. It looks great though! I went with the 47 myself because The Super Avenger and World fit me great.

But to answer OP original question, I have never heard of anyone changing the finish especially on a newer chronomat, the factory matte finish is what sets the flying fish apart from the rest, and looks great IMO. But if you absolutely love the polished look, why not just trade in the FF for a regular chronomat? But again, if it were me, I would keep it the way it is.
