Fluted bezel shows less scratches as well as the jubilee bracelet. I would go for the classic combo.

For DJ, I always prefer fluted. If I want smooth bezel, then I'll pick OP instead.

Always fluted. Don't make the same mistake I did and get smooth. Mine got flipped for the same exact watch fluted less than a year later. DJ=fluted

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

What do you guys think ?

If first Rolex - Fluted. If second Rolex what is the first ... FLUTED!

Smooth with oyster is second choice to fluted and jubilee.
However, there is a significant price difference so consider smooth with oyster, especially when paired with a hot dial eg azzurro, Wimbledon etc
