! Chamfers - Rolex vs Tudor

[Eastie]

I recently went into the Tudor boutique and tried on some Black Bay models. I was struck by the beautiful chamfers on the top edges of the case. Elegant, well-machined, subtle and exquisitely finished.

Now compare that against the Rolex maxi-cases on my 2016 Submariner and 2022 GMT Rootbeer. No chamfers. Just chunky blocks of steel.

Why would Rolex include high-end finishing on modern Tudors but not modern Rolexes? Curiously, vintage Rolexes have chamfering, so there was a conscious decision at some point for Rolex to drop this detail.

Anyone know why? Makes no sense to me.
