    Totally agree. The fluted bezel gives the watch a sportier look, whereas, the smooth bezel is far more elegant and classic.

    Nothing beats a nice president and plastic is fantastic! Here's our unpolished 1803 with it's blushing tropical haze to the gold.

    Hi guys

    you should also look at the 1012 and 1013 ref....
    full size Oyster Prep. in gold.... the steel version is 1018 .... ( when some people will modify the 8 to look like a 6 and make it a 1016... and put on an explorer dial ... but if you compare as side view with a real 1016 you see the 1016 is a much thicker watch !

    good hunting

    Tudor has a few beautiful smooth bezel Day-Dates, as well. Here’s some ref 76200 shots.
