Bezel question on 228206 Plat DD 40mm

Does it have an option to get a fluted bezel, couldn't find pics to compare to the one below. If not, do you guys think it would look good ?



and while we're talking about fluted bezels
I was wondering how these would taste



I have a number of the .750 and litre bottles and I'm starting to itch !

Ok. Thanks Eddie and Danny.

Eddie
How would you know if they didn't make the fluted bezel on this reference with this dial ? Is there a similar reference with fluted bezel, maybe in SS ? I'm really blown away about the motif baby blue look. Of course the chocolate ones look really nice too. Thx

Danny
You've had the 2012? They were good, right? I might open one next week then. They're almost impossible to find in the litre size. I got these at auction. I hope more wineries start doing them this way.

Enjoy the non fluted bezel, and the wine should be good if cellared properly.

Yes, but they're kept at 54 and I was thinking more if they should lie down longer. Guess I'll find out soon enough they should last a good 20 years anyways, but that's not going to happen.

54 degrees is perfect, but they're too young to drink IMHO. 10 years would be my minimum and even then, the wine probably
wouldn't have reached its full potential. Alas, patience is often in short supply when wine is concerned!

Rolex has never offered a fluted bezel in platinum. Polished or diamond bezel only.
