Definitely fluted bezel.
As it’s a large DJ you don’t want to have a huge smooth bezel to attract scratches.

Fluted if you want a jewelry piece

Smooth if you want a sports watch

Fluted + jubilee is nice but it is SO shiny. You can see it from across the room. Some people like that. Some people don't.

This.
And to me smooth just looks unfinished, like they forgot to put the bezel on.

Smooth with oyster. Can be dressy or sporty. Fluted bezel can not pull that off

Fluted Jubilee. Had both.

Even swapped the jubilee from the WG Fluted on the Smooth bezel....no go for me.

Sold the Smooth/Oyster 2 weeks ago. Never looked back.








Back to this....

I’d go with smooth. IMO a smooth bezel gives the watch a “cleaner” look.
