I'd change the title if I was you, that isnt engine turned just thin fluting or similar, not aware of any watches that have
an engine turned bezel.

I've had my eyes on the Rolex 14010M for a while now.
The watch in my opinion is perfect, the numerals, clean dial, vintage case style etc make it look great. The only 'issue' is the 34MM case.
Does any one have experience wearing watches with an engine turned bezel like the one shown here? - http://www.watchfinder.co.uk/Rolex/A...71/item/103748
I've read it makes the watch appear larger but haven't been able to try one on yet.
Can any one give me their opinion?
Also, what are your thoughts on the watch?...

It’s a superb watch, and that includes the bracelet.
I don’t know about the bezel, but the Oyster case and bracelet combination tends to make a watch appear more substantial than its diameter might suggest, and this model is no exception. They look great on the wrist, and I think a classic size that’s been the standard for about a century is much preferable to typical fashion-watch dimensions.
Thanks all for the guidance and help. Much appreciated
It'd be better at 37mm though. It's just too small.
In your opinion. 34 mm has been well within the range of what's been established as a man's wristwatch ever since their invention.
Here's how it works in my experience from 32 to 44 mm: you put on a bigger or smaller watch than you were wearing previously, it looks different for a short period, and then it looks normal.
Personally, I'd far rather have a 34 mm Air-King at that money than any non-Rolex. Others may feel differently.
Let's not forget WW2 was fought and won by men wearing <34 mm watches.
