[QUOTE=mcorliss;4036710]Both nice, but 100% fluted, or the watch is not a Rolex!

Agreed. I've always wanted to say this before, but was worried I'd get flamed for saying so. However, I've seen some beautiful Rolexes with smooth bezels....so there ya go, Both are great.

Love the look of that DJII smooth black dial
The smooth in the blue dial reminds me of the DDII in all platinum! With out the 50,000.00 price tag.

rolex75216 · 22 March 2013, 10:14 AM

Smooth.

AK40DJ50 · 22 March 2013, 10:54 AM

Like the fluted.

Nycturbovr6 · 22 March 2013, 10:57 AM

Fluted!

Bangel · 22 March 2013, 11:00 AM

Fluted.

Psmith · 22 March 2013, 11:03 AM

Fluted, but it works better with a Jubliee bracelet imho so wait and see if this is an option at Basel next month

Smooth works best with the Oyster imho

aardvarkbark · 22 March 2013, 11:50 AM

fluted x 2

benlee · 22 March 2013, 11:52 AM

Fluted for me as well. More visual appeal.

DCgator · 22 March 2013, 12:21 PM

rohardi · 22 March 2013, 12:36 PM

I don't think there's a wrong answer, but I like fluted

thomaspp · 22 March 2013, 01:11 PM

Go F or go home!

SaddleSC · 22 March 2013, 02:39 PM

Definitely fluted...

boywondergq1 · 22 March 2013, 02:45 PM

^^^ any more questions?

motoikkyu · 22 March 2013, 03:22 PM

Had no idea that there was such a preponderance of fluted fans. I like the smooth better, that puts me in the minority. To really get full function out of a Rolex with a fluted bezel, you have to replace the seals with lead, like in the first Oysters. That's what the fluting was for, to tighten the crystal and maintain water-resistance as the lead seal deformed over time. We've come a long way, today we have a choice without risk of water damage.

When I watch tennis matches sponsored by Rolex, it's a rolex watch face with a fluted bezel. Fluted=Rolex

Griffi · 22 March 2013, 06:35 PM

Glad you made up your mind. Although smooth is not as popular, I agree with you that it has many attractive qualities: cost, subtle, durability. Smooth is my favorite, too.
