I picked the domed bezel with the "Tuxedo" dial - I just thought it looked better and more balanced with that dial.

You don't like the dome bezel if it not a Tuxedo dial ?

I like the smooth bezel on an oyster braclet and the WG bezel on the Jubilee bracelet.

+1

The nice thing about the DJ is the choice of dials. Change it down the road if you get bored.

Here is the Jubilee with the Fluted WG bezel and here is the bezel replaced with diamond bezel....black diamond jubilee dial...and new jubilee bracelet with the hidden clasp.

I think that the domed works best on the Oyster bracelet, whilst the fluted works best with the Jubilee. I went with the Oyster/domed combination, I felt the WG bezel was a little too dressy for my own tastes

I agree about the oyster and the domed bezel and the jubilee and the fluted bezel. I am too rough on my watch to have the oyster bracelet and the domed bezel.

I already ruined a Tag womens link watch with the polished bezel and bracelet. I did that within the first year. So far with the Rolex it has been 2 years and it remains un dented.

What I meant was that I liked the domed bezel better than the fluted with the Tuxedo dial and Oyster bracelet. Like some of the others said, maybe the domed goes best with the Oyster and the Fluted best with the Jubilee?

I prefer the fluted (WG) bezel, but I think it depends on what you have to it. Domed can fit certain dials better.

Exactly so...the fluted bezel was designed to create reflected glints of light from any angle - and the Jubilee does the same.

A newly polished fluted is an amazing sight in direct sunlight.

The Dome and the oyster have the exact opposite effect.

It depends on your taste.

The fluted/jubilee combo is classic. But nonetheless I prefer the fluted bezel.

I personally prefer the domed because IMO it looks "cleaner" and less ornate. But, the fluted certainly wouldn't keep me from wearing one!

I prefer the fluted bezel as it seems to add richness to the watch. When I think of a DJ, I think of the fluted bezel. That being said, I also like the domed, but not as much.

I also prefer the fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet and went with this combo. I think the fluted bezel also gives the illusion of a larger case.
