Nothing grabs the light like a fluted bezel.

Silver dial/Smooth
all others/fluted

lilsweetie · 21 June 2018, 09:48 AM

Fluted. To me that is very "Rolex" especially
Compared to the smooth which can look very similar to many other watches.

huncho · 21 June 2018, 10:16 AM

fluted 100%

41mets · 22 June 2018, 03:37 AM

I think fluted is gorgeous, but the new fluted on the larger datejust is a little overwhelming to me. I think the fluted on the 36 is great but unless you want something very blingy, I would go with the smooth bezel on the larger one.

Fluted on jubilee. Perfect combo.

Lowertc · 23 June 2018, 07:35 AM

My choice white face roman Fluted on Jubilee, :) but to each his own! I also put it on black alligator when I really want to dress it up.. Looks fantastic!

Datejust = Fluted.

antoflo · 23 June 2018, 08:57 AM

I wonder, does the fluted bezel get scratched, or perhaps another question, does it show scratches ?

One of the issues I have with smooth bezel watches is how scratched they get so quickly

What do you guys think ?

Its not a Rolex unless its a fluted bezel........

Watchflair · 24 June 2018, 01:04 AM

Got to be honest not sure which way I would go here. $2,000 more for the bezel ?!?!?
I may just got with the polished bezel for the difference. I do agree a fluted bezel on a datejust is very attractive but not sure I'd shell out the extra bucks for it.

Hands down, fluted bezel.

The fluted doesn’t show ANY scratches. My wife’s is 3 years old and looks great. The way it’s made is that it hides everything. Like the jubilee bracelet. I owned a dj41 for 5 months before flipping it for a djii because I wanted something a little bigger. I can tell you other then the clasp it looked brand new. Now the oyster bracelet with the polished center links. Don’t stare at it too hard or it will scratch lol. But I think the oyster looks slightly better. If you get fluted and jubilee your watch will look new forever.

Smooth for me.

TRM · 24 June 2018, 03:42 AM

I know the fluted bezel is gold, the engine turned is stainless steel, but what material is the smooth, gold or stainless steel?

Torque Time · 24 June 2018, 03:47 AM

Fluted. Classic and original design. Can't go wrong

Enjoy your choice!!

If white it is stainless unless it’s a all platinum watch. Like a DD. If it’s yellow or rose then it’s 18k gold.

Definitely fluted bezel.
As it’s a large DJ you don’t want to have a huge smooth bezel to attract scratches.

Psijason · 24 June 2018, 08:01 AM

My two favorite combinations are smooth with jubilee OR fluted with oyster. Love the DJ41

jdpny · 24 June 2018, 10:30 AM

Same way I like my jazz... smooth.
