Sadly not. I think it’s too difficult to machine. Or maybe they just want it to be distinguished from the WG.

No they don't. If you want fluted there are plenty of WG DDs in any size from any era. I actually like the smooth bezel on platinum DD.

Just to echo the scores of other voices that may reply, "no." That's one reason I don't own one.

I was told it would be extremely difficult to flute platinum. I also think most of us here love the smooth platinum bezel because that’s all we’ve ever seen.

Has been discussed in previous threads. No, smooth only. Various reasons.
