After a dozen or so days, I have such thoughts. Visually in any natural lighting it is great. In an artificial, where there are many light sources, sometimes your eyes hurt from reflections from the crimped bezel. The quality and comfort of the Jubilee exceeded my expectations. Werk is stabilizing all the time - at the moment the daily average is + 0.6s and there is nothing to fault here. Sometimes I just wonder if a smooth bezel would not be more versatile for this watch, which is slowly becoming my favorite Rolex.

It’s a beauty for sure. Can you switch the bezel out on this model?

Sure, and it is possible, but I won't be making any changes.

Don't do it, you'll regret it. The fluted jubilee is THE perfect Datejust. The flutes are what makes it a Datejust IMO. It is the signature of the watch. If you want a smooth bezel just pick up an OP

Relax - I will not change anything. I just wanted to show my first thoughts a few days after the purchase.

I don't like the new OP called a beaver at all.
