grats, lovely piece.

Thanks for all the kind words. I'm considering exchanging it for the fluted bezel but not sure. It seems that the overwhelming majority of TRF prefers the fluted bezel over the smooth bezel. To me, the smooth bezel looks a little to plain and ordinary. What are your thoughts?

Keep in mind the fluted will be heavier, which makes it more uncomfortable.

I would say don't change anything about it. The smooth bezel is cool. You're going to get a of opinions for one side or the other, but what would be your reason for the fluted bezel? You said the non-fluted is plain and ordinary, but the PCLs give it some flash.
If you want the classic look, then fluted makes sense, if you want a newer less traditional look, keep what you have. You can't lose either way!

A fluted bezel calls for a jubilee bracelet. Keep as is. Plus it is busy enough with the Roman digits.
