White Gold Fluted Bezels vs. Engine Turned Bezels: Which Vintage Datejust models?

I've been researching vintage stainless steel DJs with a plan of getting one (one day sooner than later, I hope!).

I really like the engine-turned bezels on the 1603 and 16030.

But I've started to look more closely at the white gold fluted bezels. They are beautiful! I believe the 1601 has such a bezel.

My question is this: are there other vintage models / references that have the WG fluted bezel?

Thanks very much!

16014 is the WG fluted version of the 16xxx quickset.

16013 is the YG fluted version.

The 1601 can be either WG or YG fluted.

Of course, an 1803 in white gold can have a WG fluted bezel, same goes for 18038.

Thanks, as always, RWT. The 1601 has been catching my eye lately! I just wanted to see what other WG fluted bezels there were! I'll take a look at the 16014!

Thanks to you, too, motoikkyu! though I don't think the day/dates sing to me as much as the regular DJs!
