The combo I love is the Jubilee with the smooth bezel. That’s not a choice in your poll.

Jubilee all day. I’m not a fan of smooth bezel Rolex’s either.

That looks really good, the jubilee offsets the bezel nicely.

I see. I prefer the above two configuration but couldn’t decide so set up a poll


I feel that fluted looks more harmonious with jubilee. And similarly ouster better with dome

I think the signature of Rolex is the fluted bezel, from submariner to dateJust. It’s what makes a Rolex identifiable from across the room. I’m a sucker for that classic Rolex signature, it Pops. My only exception is the Daytona, which is on my list sometime down the road. I wouldn’t go Jubilee bezel on any other Rolex other than the DateJust, possibly the Batman GMT MII but I’d probably still go w the oyster on a Batman. And in my opinion, jubilee bezel DateJust is a Must. It’s the staple.

Fluted bezel is not available on the sub. On your first sentence

And what’s a jubilee bezel in the last sentence

Lol I need to go to bed... Not the entire bezel on the sub, but around the edges and I meant to say bracelet on the DateJust, not bezel.

If it’s the Roman I would say fluted jubilee all day. I think the sticks look better smooth oyster. If it’s your first DJ I would say jubilee.

My first Rolex was the exact white roman fluted jubilee on the left. I still wear it more than any other watch I own. Classic Rolex. Especially a must have in a small collection of less than 5 watches.

I chose with my $ this weekend. The jubilee has way more bling than oyster and same with fluted vs smooth.
