The steel Datejust with a white gold fluted bezel, which is how Rolex gets fluting onto a steel watch at all: the bezel itself is gold, because steel will not hold the cut cleanly. On the 3135 under a sapphire crystal, it defined the 36mm Datejust for most of two decades.
- The fluted bezel on a steel Datejust is solid white gold. Fluting is not machined into steel on this reference.

How do I check a Rolex 16234 with Watch Safe?
Look up the watch's serial number in the Watch Safe registry to see whether a record exists or a theft flag is attached. A registry search identifies records for a specific serial; it does not authenticate the watch. Authentication is performed in person by an independent expert authenticator, and Watch Safe records and publishes the result.
