Sorry, Larry, all Aqua Terra bezels are polished. I think a brushed version would clash with the rest of the polished case, so Omega doesn't see the need to make one. The polished bezel gives the watch a bit of a dressier look as well. Still, I do agree with you that the high polish of the bezel seems to pick up even hairline scratches very easily.
