Hello everyone, out of curiosity, how does a well-worn white gold fluted bezel is supposed to look? Since it is white gold, is it supposed to have a slightly different “base” color? Folks that daily wear your datejusts, any pics? Thanks!!

I don't know about color. What stands out to me about those is that all the sharp edges are gone.

The sharp edges are what makes the bezel look great. And being gold, it is softer than SS. I won't ever get this bezel polished. Maybe the case if needed, but not the bezel.

Rolex White gold is supposedly formulated to maintain it's color. Being solid 18k, there's no reason to worry. But, sadly even without polishing, the sharp flutes eventually loose their 'edge'. But, it takes a long time and nothing to fret about.

Been wearing mine everyday for about a year now

It still shines and reflects light beautifully, but if you look closely you can see a lot of micro scratches

To be fair; the watch was dirty in the above pic though, after a shower, it will shine betterand look cleaner
