which would you pick?

Dr. Robert · 9 October 2011, 10:03 AM

tough choice........can I have both, please?

Rolex Junky · 9 October 2011, 10:03 AM

Whaterver floats your boat. I prefer domed.

slcbbrown · 9 October 2011, 10:28 AM

fluted is the better choice for dress watch, IMO

GradyPhilpott · 9 October 2011, 10:37 AM

The better choice is the one you like.

Those who claim that one is better for this or that are just expressing their personal opinion.

There is no opinion better than your own in this matter.

Stonedcl · 9 October 2011, 10:41 AM

I got a domed.. But you can always buy a fluted and have a watch maker switch them

paverman · 9 October 2011, 11:00 AM

As stated previously, it depends on personal taste, however, I think the smooth bezel looks more refined and understated and would make a classy dress watch. Don't get me wrong, the fluted bezel is fabulous (I have one in wg) and is perfect for any attire.

Speed · 9 October 2011, 11:02 AM

Neither for me.

Diamonds

However, I prefer fluted!

salo75 · 9 October 2011, 11:09 AM

To each his own but I prefer fluted. Something old school about it that attracts me to it.

Salud!

dddrees · 9 October 2011, 11:12 AM

I prefer fluted.

Rollie2011 · 9 October 2011, 11:19 AM

I prefer fluted as well

watchf · 9 October 2011, 11:46 AM

Somehow I am conditioned to think that dome looks good only on the platinum DD with the glacier blue dial but I don't fancy the platinum much (not that I can justify the price of getting one anyway LOL). I like fluted with YG, the way it catches light especially under the sun is amazing...glitter glitter glitter...I can even see the glitter wearing sunglasses.

I would say if you want to notch the presence down a level go for dome, if you want to go all out then choose the fluted.

oneillba · 9 October 2011, 11:48 AM

Both are beauties, but it would be fluted for me!

Paladin · 9 October 2011, 11:49 AM

Fluted and no diamonds for me....

I would love to get a nice vintage YG DD myself...but alas....

kcmo · 9 October 2011, 12:11 PM

Fluted for me too

BarkMaster · 9 October 2011, 12:15 PM

Bark for me!

From the two you have there, I'd have to go with the fluted if I had to choose between them...

They are BOTH lookers!

bobg · 9 October 2011, 12:18 PM

This was originally fluted. Changed to the much sharper domed.

MY-WATCH · 9 October 2011, 12:19 PM

Fluted no diamonds

Engi · 9 October 2011, 09:30 PM

Fluted for dressier, domed for more casual look. I reckon that fluted goes wellwith the jubilee bracelet whilst the domed with the oyster.

Time2time · 9 October 2011, 10:03 PM

Love both, (but no diamonds).

If I HAD to pick, fluted.

None of the above!
Something is just not right in the above photo! maybe its a funny angle. It looks like an after market dial and bezel.

Art 1 · 9 October 2011, 10:22 PM

I would pass on those choices.

ExpII · 9 October 2011, 10:23 PM

Generally I like a fluted bezel but in this case I'd go with the smooth bezel.

godowning · 9 October 2011, 10:39 PM

fluted for sure

Like To Watch · 9 October 2011, 10:51 PM

I like both of them.

larrycarroll · 9 October 2011, 11:44 PM
