Fluted vs. smooth

Just as the title states, which one you prefer on a classic DJ36 having a jubilee bracelet?
Cheers.

Of the two silver-dialed watches you picture, I’d vote fluted. If you change the dials, the answer may vary depending on the dial.

Fluted for sure.
I used to hate the fluted bezel until i tried one on my wrist---it just plays with the light so well and it suits the jubilee bracelet so well too.

Fluted.

It could be the essence of a modern DJ. The white gold catches and reflects the light so beautifully.

However the bezel is prone to the most scratches. So be careful when wearing it.

Smooth just looks like any other watch. Fluted “says” DJ.
