datejust 41 - fluted or smooth ?



I went with the smooth bezel, blue dial. The watch is great in a rotation - or a perfect daily wearer. I think the smooth bezel gives it a little more of a modern look.

My DJ41 gets a lot of wrist time.

Can't go wrong with either.


I agree with this comment. I like them both but for a daily driver I prefer the simpler more sporty asthetic of the smooth bezel and oyster bracelet. If it’s in rotation then I’d go fluted and jubilee and the best answer of all is BOTH!

That is the greatest thing about the DJ .. You can mix it up, and you have several dial options to add to make the watch as unique as possible

I went with smooth as I wanted to bridge casual and dress and I work in casual clothes.
Can't go wrong with fluted, it's sharp!

On DJ, in person I thought the fluted was more eye catching than a diamond bezel. Definitely fluted.

Fluted & jubilee, or you'll regret the scratches on smooth/oyster.

I love the WG fluted bezel, but it leans slightly to the blingy side imho. Fluted is much more forgiving and less of a scratch magnet than smooth. Pair it up with a jubilee or oyster bracelet depending on your tastes. Good luck in your decision. Cheers!

For me the fluted is the people's choice but a smooth bezel looks so sleek. I would go for the smooth.

Fluted is awesome, but when the smooth bezel/jubilee option was announced a couple of years ago, it was love at first sight for me.
