I like the smooth but I have a fluted. Go figure.

Although I am a definite fluted fan, I can see the smooth look with a concentric ring dial or a sunburst dial

Fluted with a Jubilee, smooth with an Oyster.
Not sure if a Jubilee is available (yet) for the DJII

No Jubillee yet on DJ II. Can't imagine what Rolex is waiting for.

Although the DJ does nothing for me whatsoever.....if I had to choose then it'd be the fluted bezel.

topjimmi · 8 October 2013, 07:19 AM

Fluted

Jack T · 8 October 2013, 07:25 AM

Might as well jump in with my preference.

Z-Sub · 8 October 2013, 08:49 AM

Fluted gets my vote

oneillba · 8 October 2013, 10:56 AM

Fluted, indeed!

Wish412 · 8 October 2013, 03:41 PM

Smooth for The Light Colors of the Dial

Fluted for the dark colors of the dial

so choosing the color of the dial first???

MitchSteel · 9 October 2013, 04:43 AM

Smooth-oyster
Fluted-Jubilee

You can always customize, if you want to switch it up.
Classic DJ is a great choice

MJD · 9 October 2013, 05:19 AM

My personal preference is the smooth bezel with oyster bracelet...simple, elegant and looks great!

Smooth

baller24 · 9 October 2013, 11:02 AM

id say Fluted 100%, but you are an Aggie so go smooth. Hook em

Griffi · 9 October 2013, 08:18 PM

Makes it so different :)

karmatp · 9 October 2013, 11:24 PM

The fluted is very nice, but I think it makes it a bit more dressy than I want. I also would be paranoid about bumping the fluted against the door jam, the smooth is a easy polish and it looks new again.

I personally love my smooth 116300, it is so comfortable and just a sharp watch. It is the perfect all around watch, from the beach to the mountains, from a suit to shorts and flip flops.

samson66 · 10 October 2013, 05:33 AM

I prefer smooth with the oyster bracelet. The smooth bezel matches the polished center links perfectly. For the jubilee bracelet I would go with the fluted - seems to work better with this combination. Also depends on how dressy you want it. The fluted looks best with suits and dress shirts in my opinion. I wanted a DJ that would work well for the office and also for shorts/t-shirts on the weekends. For me that was the smooth bezel with the oyster bracelet.

PanosI · 10 October 2013, 05:45 AM

I like both. The practical difference is that people who are hard with their watches must considered the SS smooth bezel because the repeated polish of the fluted bezel will destroy its glory.

BZA · 10 October 2013, 06:24 AM

Fluted !

samson66 · 12 October 2013, 02:44 AM

Question - Why is there a stick in place of the IX on this watch, however the one pictured further up on this page has the IX on the face???

And Authorised Dealer every time for me (if funds allow)...the buying experience is all part of the future relationship with the watch...and collecting the wife's Rolex yesterday, drinking champagne in the process, was a great start to a lifelong relationship.

Just shows, we are all different, it's what makes a forum great.

Smooth, BNIB or LNIB from TRF - David SW is the man...

Good luck!
