Notable other factors

Regarding the four watches I compared, here are a few other noteworthy points I noticed.
First, regarding the Rolex, the bezel is by far the best I have ever seen. The color, depth, clarity is only made better by the luxurious touch of including platinum. Superb bezel!
The Rolex also has the highest quality dial, the deep deep black looks perfect, not too shiny and not too dull, just perfect. These two points counteract the crappy cola can case finishing.
Other factors such as the worlds most reliable movement, superior stainless steel, and iconic design make for an iconic watch.
The Breitling has what I believe to be the best bracelet in the sub 80k world, just marvelous design comfort and finishing

I'm completely missing your point here. What am I supposed to look at please?
So I posted individual replies for each watch

So you can try and see my thumbs up and pen reflection for each watch, this is to judge the quality of the polished portions. I have also included the brushed strokes macros for the two watches that have brushed portions
It's quite surprising.

My Tudor Black Bay's sides are (well, they were!) like perfect mirrors!!!
Really?

That’s odd that Rolex would do better finishing on a Tudor than the Pepsi.
Yeah, really odd!

Are you sure there's no protective film on those sides yet?

Can a mod move my individual replies to the top to clarify
By: afaleh : January 24th, 2022-07:07
I have posted each set of pictures for each watch individually. The purpose here was to compare the quality of case finishing on 4 mid tier watches. There are other elements to consider, I will include those in an individual reply
