Don't forget to polish scratches out with wool...

Excellent photos! Did you use a tripod or other support?

JJ,
You bring up an interesting point. The precision cut Rolex executes for the bezel edge seems very unique. It makes it easy to use and adds the right amount of polish to catch the light. Works well with the polished sides of the watch and bracelet.
