For me, it's fluted and jubilee (so comfortable) but also great to see so many pics shared. Not a bad one in the bunch. So many great options. Cheers!

DJ 36 Fluted Bezel SS, jubilee bracelet and deep blue face. That is what I ordered and I love it! Class with a little bit of personality. I used to love this combination with a white dial but when I saw the blue (deep blue) that was it for me.

I know this is an old debate. While many posts online suggest that the Jubilee is a dress bracelet and the Oyster is a sports bracelet, these distinctions don't really help me make a decision.

What do you folks think?
The oyster is sportier, but will also show the scratches. Whatever you do to make sure you get one with a fluted bezel. Do not get this smooth bezel, no matter matter what.

I have a day trust, but it is 2 tone on Jubilee. With a fluted bezel, if I was to buy another one, it would be steel, jubilee, fluted bezel.

I only have fluted bezel DJ41's; I guess I go against the grain in my preference for the look of the Oyster.

For me Dj = smooth + Oyster.
You can enjoy fluted bezel on a Skydweller or a DD
If you go on 5 digit, lets go for 16220 for a unique proposition ! Or a TOG

On any 6 digit = Smooth on oyster.
Maybe fluted on jubilee for a lady's 31mm.

I like oyster on a smooth bezel otherwise it’s too loud for my taste. Every combo looks great. If you’re going jubilee, IMO you should go fluted.

DJ 41, white stick, fluted on oyster. Its been worn to the beach, to trial, to weddings and to dinner, etc. The fluted and oyster can do that.

I have no idea what the current, official AD policy is, but I would buy fluted/jubilee and add an oyster bracelet.

I’m a jubilee guy and either smooth or fluted works. The bezel decision can be dial dependent too.

I agree with collection vs one and done kind of posts.

If collecting the think about poster jubilee balance.

Eg sports professional on oyster and classic on jubilee =tidy.

Dj on oyster and sports on oyster =tidy but missed opportunity.

If one and done choose your favourite and be content.
