I agree with this. The contrast makes for a very interesting piece. Of course, I don’t object to smooth bezel on Oyster for an elegant yet sporty look.

I chose the smooth bezel with oyster because its more sporty and not as loud.

This is a great thread. I completely agree a smooth bezel with the oyster bracelet DJ would be the way to go for me.

I would agree. I am waiting on a 126300 with the White Roman on Jubilee or Oyster bracelet. I would like to thank Omar for this.

Love the smooth bezel. It’s just a purest type mentality to say a DJ should only have fluted and jubilee.

Make your own mind up. No need to follow the crowd! I sometimes feel like this forum is a lot of that.. sheep sheep sheep.

I have always liked the smooth bezel DJ over the fluted. It just looks right.

Personally I only like the smooth bezel on the 36 mm case (DJ or DD)
To me the proportions of the smooth bezel just look off balance BUT that's just my .02 cents.
Glad you got it and glad you love it!
Wear it in good health!
