Do you agree that many watch brands now follow Rolex bracelet design?

As per question above, what do you guys think?

I saw may brands, especially non-luxury or non-premium brands or Rolex contenders start having their stainless steel bracelet center links polished with silvery shinny mirror effects.

For example, Oris, Certina, Steinhart, Bell&Ross, Omega.

By just polishing the center part of the bracelet is copying Rolex?

Can't agree

Yes, there are 2 things that need to find out first ?
The specific questions should be:
1. Rolex oyster bracelet type of bracelet was designed by Rolex or other watch brands?

2. The highly polished of oyster  bracelet center links, was Rolex the first to apply this technique or other watch brands?

Wow... So it is very very likely that all other watch brands copy from Rolex on the oyster bracelet design or / and the polished center links technique.
