The good news is that with both bezels in my possession I can switch back at a later time if the fluted gets stale. For now it seems the more popular and I'm following my gut on this as well.

I like both. But fluted may be more flashy.....

How much for the labour if you don't mind me asking?

Well here it is; apparently these bezels are much different then the past hence the high price. The same fellow is charging me $50 for a dial swap on my 1803.

That looks great, Lee. Doesn't it feel like you got a brand new watch? Congrats.

Thanks!!! Of course I'm a realist and I know it's the same watch. I really like the watch more than I did and I liked it before so that's a really good thing.

Many thanks; yes, quite happy with it. Not to mention I now have a really great local guy for repairs which was almost worth more than what I paid for the bezel to begin with.

I tallied the comments out of curiosity; in divergence from the vote, the comments were 28 for smooth and 21 for fluted. Interesting results.
