Which is the wrench? Structural and visual details of a blunt, efficient tool…





(Colors highlighting similarities; note the caseback of the Luminor is 12-sided/not round, and special shout out to its fish symbol in relief to mark water resistance….)




The serrated edge gives the bezel its function/grip, but also acts as a crown that elegantly frames the lugs and oyster bracelet. 



Two additional details best captured with flash: the mirror finish of the sharply tapered case sides, and the Rolex crown laser-etched into the crystal at 6 o’clock.
