SS Choice ???

Just got a call from my AD.

Been bothering him over the years about SS Roli's. Most, he wanted a premium or list (don't do list on anything, expecially Roli's).

Says, I should get a SS DJII.

Here's the question:

Plain Bezel or Fluted??? Still get 30 off list. Says to stop in and we all know where that path leads.

I'd get the smooth and save the money. It's also sportier looking which fits the 41mm size better IMO. If you were getting a 36mm DJ then I'd vote fluted on jubilee.

I love the way light reflects off my fluted bezel when driving the car. My kids always notice it, as well.

I will miss that, if (when) I add a Sub-C to my collection and it gets rotated into daily wear.

The bezel edge on a sub reflects light very similarly.
The Pelagos is like a black hole. ZERO shine.

I prefer the fluted bezel on DJs. Like brushed versus polished CLs, it just seems the fluted bezel would hide scratches better.
