While servicing a Rolex 3135, I was surprised to find blued screws that were only blued on top of the screw head—not even the screw slot. For a while, I thought I might be dealing with a counterfeit movement, but that suspicion was fortunately later put to rest. Anyway, have a look at these two pictures and please take the poll!

I thought, I would prefer the fully blued but I  like the contrast on the seml blued ones. Got a feeling, I may be in a minority. 

Well, you're in the same camp as Rolex then, so I'm not so sure you're in a minority. I have a very distinct opinion (perhaps obvious from the OP), but I want everyone's honest opinion. Please take the poll!

 Partly blued got my vote. The idea can be expanded to color coding, like screws to mainplate one color, another color for ratchet or winding wheel.

Though I wonder what aestatic effect would multicolored have, perhaps unsightly.
