Hey fellas, I want to buy a present for my wife and I am struggling to choose between domed Bezel and fluted bezel. 

That’s the nominees:

Does your wife like jewelry that’s blingy and reflects alot? If so, fluted bezel.

Then I say if she likes flashy, go fluted, if she’s a bit more conservative, go smooth

Fluted till the cows come home.

Having said that, you probably know your wife better than I do.

A little better.

Audacity...

But ButtfuckBubba is right, fluted is the only way to go. Only the OP39 should have a smooth bezel. Datejust equals fluted/engine turned/turnograph bezels.

Took my wife to the AD, fluted wasn’t hers. You might want to check out the 15010s bezel, don’t know what it’s called but that’s what she settled for.

For the last 60 yrs, the Rolex DJ 36mm is a MEN WATCH, especially the fluted bezel and oyster bracelet.
In recent years women started to wear bigger watch. (I know since my wife took most of my 35-36mm watches). But the DJ Fluted Oyster is still considered a men watch.
First, get her a jubilee bracelet not a oyster bracelet. Second, women love diamond bezel not fluted bezel.

EDIT: I just realized this topic is over a month old ... so her birthday probably passed. Still want to know what OP got for his wife.
