Datejust 41
Hello Rolex fans. I was going to buy
the new 41 model with a blue stick dial and the smooth bezel but am now considering the fluted bezel. Opinions please

Either way you can't go wrong. Fluted will mar easy while smooth will show scratches. Id pick smooth as its more sporty IMO.

I want one too, but think the fluted bezel with the sunray blue face looks best. Undecided between the jubilee and oyster braclet, but leaning towards oyster. It's a great looking watch indeed! Good luck in your decision. Cheers!

Although not my pic, this is the same as my DJ2.

I personaly think you have to go fluted with the DJ. To my eye it just makes the watch 'pop' that little bit more, but everyone will have a different opinion depending on the look they are wanting from the watch.

I like both. Personally have a dj2 with smooth bezel. Smooth makes it a little sportier and versatile in my opinion. No wrong answer though...I do like the jubilee for what it's worth

Fluted bezel and cyclops magnifier are both Rolex icons. I vote fluted.

Pay the extra, go Fluted! That bezel adds more character to the watch. You wont regret it!

Fluted is a whopped $2k extra MSRP. I personally think the watch looks much nicer with a fluted bezel, but for anyone who's unsure I think the right choice is to save two grand.

Hard to advise you on this. Both are beautiful. I prefer fluted. IMO it looks a little more upscale, and represents and iconic look for Rolex.

Fluted and jubilee. I have a smooth DJ2 and I am flipping it for a fluted 41. It has more heritage and a much more interesting presence IMO

Compare this to GMT Aviators photo above :
